Tutoring vs. Therapy - There is a difference!
There is an important difference between tutoring and therapy. Tutoring is a teaching model that is most often used in franchise-type learning centers and for those students who might just have a few missing skills that need to be addressed. The term "tutoring" also applies when a student receives basic help with homework (for example, a high school student may tutor a fifth grader). Tutoring is often delivered in group settings of 2 to 5 students. Sometimes the service delivery model is a large room of students seated at individual study desks who are assisted by teachers who monitor the group and assist when needed. Tutoring is an important part of the educational process and is the right choice for many students who need a small boost to improve performance.
Therapy, educationally speaking, is highly individualized (administered in a one-on-one setting), intensive, frequently administered, and specialized. It is delivered by expertly-trained therapists/teachers. It utilizes very specialized and well researched programs that have been developed to treat specific deficits. The student's progress is continually monitored, since the therapy is delivered in a one-to-one delivery model. Progress is also formally measured by standardized tests at regular intervals in order to document progress and maximize/optimize/alter/tweak the individual educational plan. Thereapy is highly effective, especially with students who are experiencing learning difficulities. The specific cause of a learning problem can be identified and can often be remediated much more quickly than with other models.
