​

The following policies and procedures are enacted to ensure a smooth transition into tutoring and consultation sessions. To ensure your satisfaction, please read carefully, and comply. Each student is evaluated individually by the tutor to determine his or her specific academic needs.

​

The tutor will then be responsible for implementing and filling in the academic gaps as previously assessed. The initial Tutor/Parent consultation notations and any other concerns addressed by the parents or classroom teachers will be taken into consideration while moving forward in providing tutoring services for the student.  The frequency of tutoring sessions is based on the assessment of the tutor, parent, and teacher.  

​

DUE TO COVID -19 REGULATIONS AND CONCERNS, ALL MEETINGS AND SESSIONS ARE HELD ONLINE. This decision was set in place for the safety and well-being of the student, parents, and consultant clients. JValenciaACTS, LLC will adhere to the regulations set in place by the CDC and federal government and in some cases taking extra precautions to keep all parties safe. As conditions change, we will adjust to the convenience of our clients.

​

Scheduling of sessions will also be done on an individual basis through this website. Please click the Booking Sessions tab to are also available online. Sessions are scheduled to complement the parent’s affordability and the student’s necessities. JValenciaACTS, LLC does recommend at least 2 to 3 sessions per week to get the minimal best results. Email and text communication will be enforced while receiving our services. In addition, JValenciaACTS will request phone or zoom communication with the parent.  

​

During parent discussion time, the parent will be informed of the strategies and activities being used during the tutoring sessions, and activities that can be reinforced at home for additional practice. During the tutoring session, the tutor will follow the curriculum that was discussed, selected, and/or design for the student. Homework will also be discussed at this time as well as any other assignments agreed upon. Most materials and activities are provided by tutors; however, many schools provide homework packets for the students to use for tutoring, also. Please be advised some materials/supplies may be requested for the parent to purchase by the tutor.

​

To ensure optimal progress, homework may be assigned by the tutor. Just as learning to ride a bike cannot be accomplished in one-hour training sessions per week, academic skills also require practice on a regular basis throughout the week. Please consider this concept when booking sessions.

​

In some instances, tutors may need to communicate with the current classroom teacher to ensure that the child is not overwhelmed with assignments. Open communication and collaboration with other professionals are always encouraged if agreed upon by parents.
