childrens corner After School Case Study... An increasing number of experts have said that a solution too many educational challenges may be as simple as good after- school programs. Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc., offers just such a program to help enhance the educational experiences of at-risk youth. According to a new study of 35 after-school programs serving low-income elementary and middle school students, children who regularly attended a program were (academically) far ahead of their peers. Not only did test scores increase, but their work habits, social skills and behavior improved with increased after- school activities. Just from anecdotal information received from parents, we know that many students do not handle un-supervised time well. At Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc., we have a contract with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. We are all too familiar with the spike in the crime rate between 3pm and 6pm. We offer activities that do more than keep students occupied. We know that we offer a top-notch program, but we lack the funding to serve all the students who need our help. Whatever the reason, parents often turn to tutoring services to give their children the help they need. At Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc., we not only offer help for struggling students (and academic enrichment for advanced students), we offer a nurturing environment for emotional enrichment. We offer a variety of options, but studies show that visits less than twice a week are usually a waste of a child’s valuable time. By December this year, Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc., will be offering online tutoring via Skype. This offering will be ideal for the student who prefers to work independently, but still needs a little extra help. It will be especially attractive if he or she is comfortable communicating via computer.
