Why is Lafayette Academy
Your #1 Tutoring Option
Our Unique
Tutoring Model
We focus on local curriculum wherever we tutor, identifying the best ways to help students understand challenging concepts. Our growing slack channels feature the most innovative ways to explain specific topics that have challenged our students, and all of our tutors are invested in the collaboration.
We prepare our students to ace their tests and earn higher grades. Other companies brag about technology, mentoring, and other “benefits” that don’t relate to grasping concepts and acing tests. We’re rolling up our sleeves to help your children because we’re always “on the case!”
Local
Learning Centers
Our Shadow Classes and Final Exam Crams focus on local high school classes; said differently, we never offer “generic” tutoring that may not be relevant to a particular school or teacher. Our instructors are intimately familiar with the local curriculum, including local alumni who remember their high school classes and teachers.
We have developed curriculum that is specifically targeted to solve the problems that students encounter, year after year. We are applying these same strategies online, in other districts that use the same textbooks.
Differentiated
Instruction
Whether you sign up for a class or one-on-one help, our instruction is differentiated. Our Shadow Classes™ and Final Exam Crams™ are school specific, our Test Prep classes are organized by ability level, and our one-on-one private tutoring begins with a learning styles assessment so we can teach to each student’s strengths.
If you want a “factory” approach to education, you’re in the wrong place.
Our ACT &
SAT Prep
Many students have dramatically increased their ACT & SAT scores at The Academy!
How do we do it? We organize students based on their initial assessment scores, so we can offer truly differentiated instruction. We monitor weekly homework and intervene when necessary. We also give and analyze 3 practice tests, followed up with 3 hours of one-on-one tutoring to address problems. Our students’ huge score improvements are not an accident.
