OUR LEARNING SERVICES
OVERVIEW
Lami Academy is a team of committed teachers who love to teach and help student find the power inside themselves to succeed. We tutor students based on their unique way of learning and tailor our lessons to meet their needs.
When we take on a new student, we compile a profile to understand your child's strengths, challenges, interests and learning style. Using this information, we formulate a learning program with a view to catching them up to their grade level. With other students, our challenge is to help enrich their lessons so they are working closer to their full potential.
On occasion, we find it helpful to communicate with school teachers in an effort to coordinate efforts and more effectively help the student through their specific challenges.
Progress reports to parents are another important part of our learning program - ensuring that parents are aware of progress and can support on-going efforts at home between learning sessions.
OUR APPROACH
" We believe that everyone can learn and succeed, but not everyone gets there the same way or at the same time. "
