Frequently Asked Questions

  An educational therapist is a highly-trained educator that specializes in identifying a student's learning struggles. By providing intensive and individualized instruction they work to remediate the student’s learning deficits.  

 The main difference between a tutor and an educational therapist is that a tutor provides support for children in academics, while an educational therapist has a broader approach and works on remediating your child’s thinking and learning deficits. While a tutor works with a student on their homework, study skills and help in improving their grades, an educational therapist will work on strategies and goals to help a child’s ability to think, reason and process information. These strategies are to produce competent and confident learners not only for the classroom but for lifelong learning. 

 Numerous research studies have been conducted to examine the effectiveness of educational therapy through the National Institute of Learning Development (NILD).
