The Vision:
The vision of Focus Online LLC is to differentiate social and academic learning opportunities so as to accept and include all children, regardless of their personal skill-levels and abilities. Students learn best in a nurturing, interest-based and systematic environment that includes and encourages questioning, as well as innovative thinking. Parents and their children will receive individualized academic and social-emotional support by using the most current, research-based online and offline methods of learning.
The Process:
True personalized education includes addressing parent’s and student’s wants, as well as the needs of the student. To determine wants and needs, students, as well as parents, participate in a full-scope evaluation. This is free of charge. Afterwards, as a team, we develop a plan to address the results determined from testing. Regular evaluations and communication with the school and other educational support completes a full 360 degree, personalized plan.
Within the plan, all specifics are determine. Material is delivered with the child’s abilities in mind. This occurs via print, 1-1 online in person sessions, 1-1 online sessions, and video. Because materials are delivered in a way that meets the student’s needs, the result is an increase in independence and confidence.
More specifically, adjustments to the curriculum and materials occur weekly to support optimal learning. As an added bonus for homeschooling students, lessons are available for printing, therefore, students can work online or offline at any point. Tutoring students receive free homework assignments at parent request.
Lastly, all goals determined in the initial plan, stretch across every piece of the curriculum and throughout each tutoring experience. This ensures your child will retain what they are learning, as well as increase the student’s rate of comprehension and confidence.
The Advantage:
As mentioned above, personalized support creates an opportunity for a rapid increase in confidence, comprehension, and independence. This advantage noted in research regarding both tutoring and homeschooling. Research demonstrates that personalized and individualized support:
- Math skills and comprehension levels skyrocket (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-35731-2_24)
- Customized curriculum increases student buy-in and therefore curriculum success (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10956-022-09985-w)
- Some online learning programs claim to personalize and customize content, but they do not meet individual student needs. Students are unable to dive deep into learning a subject and become conditioned to bounce between topics and often develop gaps because of the computer-based programs design.
Focus Online LLC develops personalized content that changes based on your requests, your child’s requests, and your child’s needs. The result is a homeschool experience or tutoring experience that is a true partnership, and where you can feel full support. Your child’s success is our goal.
