Is Your Child Struggling to Learn?

Bravo! Tutoring in Valley Springs can help your struggling child! If your child is having a hard time in school, then you know how frustrating it can be. If report cards are a time of stress and worry, if homework is a never ending battle, then you know the pain of learning struggles. It doesn’t have to be this difficult!

Some kids don’t learn like other children and they fall behind because of this. Maybe there is an existing learning disability or your child is just a bit behind in school. Either way, the future looks dim when your child is struggling at school.

In addition, all too often, schools aren’t able to provide enough help…or the right kind of help. It feels like beating your head against the wall. You know your child needs help and maybe you’ve already tried a lot of different things that didn’t work. You aren’t alone. This is a common problem.

In order to help a struggling learner, you need to go back to square one and build a strong learning foundation. Whether your child has an existing learning disability or is just a bit behind in school, there are gaps in the learning foundation. These learning gaps need to be filled in one step at a time.

Bravo! Tutoring ensures your child’s learning foundation is strong so learning can be easy. When learning becomes easy, grades soar, tests are passed, and homework isn’t a battle.

With over twenty-three years of helping children and teens aquire lasting learning success, Bravo! Tutoring helps your child build a strong learning foundation. This means report cards can become a source of pride, learning can be easy, and homework can be performed indpendently.

You need the right kind of help to make sure your child has a bright future.

There is Nothing Wrong with Your Child!

Most kids who struggle in school simply learn differently than their peers.

Usually, these struggling students are hands-on or tactile learners stuck in a classroom based on auditory learning. This is a plan for disaster!

It also means a non-traditional program is necessary to transform tears into smiles!

At Bravo! Tutoring, we help struggling learners through a six-step leaning program that has been successfully used for over twenty-three years.

We will help your child learn to learn…because that is the only way that report cards can be a source of pride and school becomes a safe place to learn!

Learning to learn isn’t hard if the right tools are used. At Bravo! Tutoring, we teach your child to use and integrate the senses and the brain so that learning easy.

Bravo! Tutoring does this through movement, brain-based learning, an Orton-Gillingham approach to reading. In addition, we provide sensory-rich activities. Academics are taught based on your child’s needs…not the school’s, the teacher’s, or the general student population.

Even better…kids love coming to Bravo! Tutoring because it is fun!

The Right Set of Tool Makes All the Difference!

When your child is given the correct set of learning tools to use, the sky’s the limit as far as learning goes!

Most parents are caught in a painful crossfire, not knowing what to do to help their children succeed academically. Did you know that approximately thirty percent of students struggle to read? And that reading affects every subject in school, even math?

One in five students has dyslexia, and sadly, these bright, verbal children rarely get the proper help they need.

In addtion, approximately one in forty-four children is born with autism. These children are often confined to Special Day Class where they are “warehoused” but rarely given a set of tools they need for school or life success.

Children with Learning Issues Need a Non-Traditional Learning Progran!

Most struggling learners – whether it’s dyslexia, autism, or just a lagging behind academically – are failing in school.

This is because they are being forced to use the reading program you used, the spelling program their grandparents used, and a math program that was designed with anything but the child in mind. Think Common of Core Math.

This is like asking your child to speak French all day without a single lesson on speaking the language!

Kids with learning disabilities especially need an avenue for success…a non-traditional programmed for their individual learning success – not someone else’s. Every child is different. Every brain is different.

A one size all approach to learning just doesn’t work for all kids.

So…What Exactly is Bravo! Tutoring?

Bravo! Tutoring provides “tutoring with a twist”.

This comprehensive combination of skills training is what brings your child to grade level or beyond!

Nathan’s Story Started it All!

As a mother and teacher, Lisa was heartbroken when her son struggled with learning differences in the early 1990’s. (see Nathan’s Story).

Although Lisa was a credentialed teacher, she had few resources to help him, so she went on a “mother mission”. 

Within one year, Nathan was an honor student! 

From there, Lisa developed the Bravo! Learning System (formerly the Harp Learning System), which was successfully used in the Harp Learning Institute Learning Centers for over twenty-three years with an astounding success rate.

Over 98% of the students who went through the program became grade level learners. Tens of thousands of students have followed this path to become not only honor students but happy, well-adjusted students who enjoy learning.

Now, Bravo! Tutoring in Valley Springs, California offers the same learning system to your child…at a super affordable price!
