Summer Intensives 2020
It's that time again to sign up for my summer intensives.
This year, there will be three sessions, one lasting two weeks and the others lasting three weeks. You can sign up for one, two, or all three. The deadline to reserve a spot is May 15.
What Are Summer Intensives?
These intensives are intended to help students stay fresh with academics during the summer as well as help them get a leg up on the coming school year. Students who are currently doing O-G sessions with me are highly encouraged to do at least two sessions.
Beyond O-G tutoring, students who need additional instruction with writing, math, science, research, project planning, note-taking, or reading are ideal candidates for these intensives. In the past, students have used this time to learn the ins and outs of writing a research paper, become more adept with taking notes in class and writing annotations, improve their essay writing and grammar, brush up on math and science concepts, or prepare for a standardized test.
How Often Will We Meet?
I recommend at least twice-a-week lessons. The lessons will last one hour. More than two sessions per week are available.
An important piece to note: for students who are doing Orton-Gillingham with me, two lessons a week are required. I have found that meeting less frequently slows down progress. If your child is doing O-G with me during the school year, I highly recommend that they continue working with me during the summer.
Where Will Lessons Happen?
This is TBD, depending on the situation with COVID-19. If we are no longer under a shelter-in-place order, lessons will be available in person in Vermont at the South Burlington library. Online sessions are available for students who are remote, traveling, or outside of Vermont.
What Are the Dates?
• Session One: June 21–July 3
• Session Two: July 12–August 1
• Session Three: August 2–22
How Much Will the Intensives Cost?
Session one, twice-a-week lessons: $360
Sessions two and three, twice-a-week lessons: $540 each session
I have listed the price for twice-a-week lessons for each session; if you choose to add a third lesson per week these amounts will increase.
Payment is due on or before the first day of the intensive. For parents who wish to pay ahead for two or three intensives, a $50 discount will apply.
Spots will fill quickly, so if you already know you'd like to sign up, please respond to this email and I'll make sure to put you on my calendar.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss possibilities about what type of intensive your student might need, please contact me.
