How We Help Students With Learning Differences
Everyone learns differently. That’s why teaching should be geared toward a variety of abilities and learning styles.
Oxford Learning® tutors take the time to help students develop stronger learning skills, boost their confidence, and improve their understanding of the subject material.
Our Dynamic Assessment is a key part of your child’s learning journey with Oxford Learning. It gives us key insights into how your child learns and what teaching strategies will work best.
Using personalized programming and tailored teaching techniques, our tutors meet students at their level, helping them build stronger thinking and learning skills at a pace that matches each student’s needs.
Every student is capable of learning when we adapt how we teach to that student’s needs. That’s what tutoring at Oxford Learning is all about.
