Tutoring Services / Supplemental Educational Services Providers
Supplemental Educational Services (SES) include summer and before- and after-school tutoring in reading, language arts, or math. They may be offered through public- or private-sector providers who are approved by the state, such as public schools, public charter schools, local education agencies (local school systems, herein referred to as LEAs), educational service agencies, faith-based organizations, and community groups.
Students from low-income families who remain in Title I schools that fail to meet AYP for at least three years, and are thus in the second year of Needs Improvement status, are eligible to receive SES.

Program Summary
A to Z In-Home Tutoring provides in person, one-on-one instruction in the comfort and convenience of a student’s home or in small groups of 3-6 students at school or alternate location. Our tutors work with children in Reading, Language Arts and Math. As one of the largest national providers of No Child Left Behind tutoring for the past seven years, we are very experienced, yet have a personalized local approach, as we have operated in Georgia since 2004. In 2006-2007, students enrolled with A to Z experienced an average gain of 4 newly acquired math and language arts skills. All of our curriculum content is research-based and focuses on helping struggling students succeed. Students are pre-tested to identify which skill sets they are deficient in so tutoring services are 100% custom tailored and individualized for the needs of the client. Periodic mini-assessments are used to monitor the student’s growth. During the final session a post-test is given to measure the overall gains of the child and the new academic skills they have achieved. Through traditional one-on-one and small group tutoring, students are able to reach and exceed their educational goals much more quickly and effectively. Strong teaching backgrounds and a comprehensive understanding of children’s needs enables these qualified tutors to develop learning skills, polish self-esteem, boost confidence and enhance motivation. The student’s family and tutor determine the tutoring schedule. Days and times of tutoring are coordinated between the parents, tutor, and/or school personnel with sessions ranging from 1-2 times per week and lasting between 1-2 hours each session.

Program Summary
Educate! Motivate! Celebrate! We believe if the child is in our seat we can help them. Our program is designed with the highest regard for helping struggling learners in Georgia. We tutor students in Kindergarten through 8th grade in reading or math. Our professionally trained tutors, most of whom are certified teachers from local school and community are trained to ensure that our students are always supervised. We are in our fifth year of operation. Our program is housed mainly in the local schools. Our classes are held two days a week for 90 minutes each day and we tutor in small groups and large groups. A key component of our program is goal setting with all parties; parents and school personnel participate following an examination of available school data and an analysis of a diagnostic pretest. With this information, we develop an Individual Student Plan (ISP) with specific goals and individualized curriculum for the student. We have aligned our curriculum and the master plan of each School District we serve. We present a progress report monthly to parents, teachers and school districts. Our company administers a post test to determine student growth and curriculum strengths and weaknesses. We are happy to report, there are significant reading and math gains in every school district we serve. Our company conducts initial and on-going training for tutors. We celebrate learning at the end of the program by inviting parents, tutors, and students to a Completion Ceremony. At this ceremony we recognize each child's work ethic and regular attendance. Our tutoring company takes pride and counts it a privilege to provide supplemental services in Reading and Math to the students in the State of Georgia.

Program Summary
ABOUTFACE! Reading has been teaching reading to students throughout the Southeast for 11 years and has been an SES Provider in Georgia for four years. Our reading lessons are designed using the five scientifically-based strategies recommended by the National Reading Panel to increase reading skills. Every student is pre-tested to determine their unique needs and an Individualized Learning Plan is developed with teacher and parent input. Then, leveled books are chosen that reflect each student's current reading abilities. As students' mastery increases, additional tests pinpoint remaining skill gaps. Learning Plans are then updated to fill those gaps. Finally, post-tests are administered to gauge student improvement. Each child receives approximately 20 hours of tutoring, usually 1 hour sessions, twice weekly. All of our pupils will move to the next reading level or higher. Every child keeps every book they read. Lessons are held in LEA's, churches, libraries or other public area. We provide all materials including scripted lesson plans, books, word cards, and any other materials needed for the course of instruction.

Sessions are held in schools, community center, libraries and places of worship. As part of our program, each student will complete a pre and post assessment test. The process for assessing and diagnosing student need will be addressed through a pre assessment test along with school test scores and teacher/school input.

Our program uses researched based Ladders to Success- Reading and Mathematics and Coach Materials which are 100% aligned with Georgia’s state curriculum. Using a curriculum that is 100% aligned with state standards has been shown to improve student achievement. These materials are designed to provide intervention to individual student needs through scaffolding lesson. Scaffolding lessons build basic skills that prepare students for state assessments and are tailored to each student’s ISP. The student will be tested halfway through the program to determine if he/she is mastering the skill. The tutor will collaborate with the parent/guardian and student’s teacher to develop a new ISP if the scores suggest it. At the completion of the tutoring session a post test is given to determine if the student has mastered the skill and improved his/her overall score. A final progress report will be sent to parent/guardian and school.

Program Summary
Alternatives Unlimited (AU) has been an approved vendor in several states over the past five years. According to collected qualitative data, students demonstrated a more serious approach to engaging in classroom activities and showed confidence in taking standardized tests. Parents expressed satisfaction with their children's progress and the overall delivery of instruction. Our focus has been to assist students to improve academic achievement on state standards. Our model of instruction includes small group instruction that is focused on pre-testing of all students. The optimal AU time on task for our tutoring session will last two hours per day and takes place two days per week. AU does understand, however, that a two hour session may prove to grueling for the younger learners; therefore, AU is prepared to modify delivery with shorter sessions that meet more often during the week. Our class size is typically 1:5 or specifically 1:1 for special populations. Usually all tutoring takes place at the school site if space permits. Provided instructional materials include paper, pencil, rulers, technology and others when applicable.
Goals are written based on pre-test, parent, school and LEA documentation of student data. According to collected qualitative and quantitative data, targeted students demonstrated academic growth on standardized tests. Parents receive weekly updates in either English or Spanish based on pretest assessments so that they understand the gains their child is making focused on the shared goals written at the start of the tutoring. All lessons taught to students include graphic organizers that are provided by the tutor. All supplies for students are also provided by the vendor so that students have a successful tutoring experience. AU is a new SES provider in Georgia.

Program Summary
August House uses highly engaging stories from around the world with colorful animations, entertaining read along files, carefully illustrated picture books and targeted practice assignments to build the specific reading skills each student needs to succeed on the CRCT. The self-paced program is aligned to the Georgia Performance Standards (GPS) for grades K-5. It can be used individually or in a small group. The program and assignments are highly interactive and guide the students to practice exactly the skills that they need to master. Students will need to have internet access and are expected to use the program twice a week for one hour at home, at a library, a community center or other facility with an internet connection. Each student is assessed throughout the program and the results are used to build and Individual Student Profile (ISP) that identifies specific strengths and weaknesses matching the GPS. Progress is measured, tracked and reported to ensure that the student is practicing the specific reading skills that he or she needs to build. When students complete a story unit, they take the book home to build their own personal reading library. After completing the program, on average the students will improve their reading skills by 10% or more on standardized tests. No transportation required. This highly engaging instructional model was developed over four years of research and testing. As a result, the program targets emerging and struggling readers who need to develop stronger skills and confidence in phonics, vocabulary, comprehension and fluency as defined by the Georgia Performance Standards.

Program Summary
Ava White Tutorials, Inc. has been helping students for 28 years. We have been involved with 3 school systems and 6 schools in the No Child Left Behind program since 2003. To date, we have assisted 5 of these 6 schools to make the Adequate Yearly Progress List. We have seen students in our after-school programs make significant gains in Reading, Math, and Language Arts. Many of our students advance 1-2 grade equivalents after the 30 hours of tutorials. To identify academic goals, each student is given a pre-test. Then we write an Individual Learning Plan, using the results of the testing, parent and teacher input. Students typically meet after school, at their school, with highly qualified, certified teachers who have valuable years of classroom experience. We see students in small groups, usually 3 to 6 pupils in these after school classes, and they meet 2 times a week for 1.5 hour sessions. Classes are typically held right after school, for example, 3:45 to 5:15. For students who meet at the school, transportation home is usually provided by the school or we pay for a taxi service to take the students home, after the tutorials. If parents prefer, we can see their child at our office for 1:1 tutorials and parents are then responsible for transportation. We use explicit, direct, incremental, systematic research-based instruction in teaching basic reading, language arts and math skills. Wilson Reading Program, LANGUAGE! and MATH*Ability are the main curriculums we use to help students reach their academic goals. All instructional materials are provided for the teachers and students. We do benchmark assessments throughout the program to ensure that students are making appropriate scholastic growth. Progress reports are sent home on a monthly basis, so that parents know how their child is making headway. We normally have 2 pizza parties during the 30-hour instructional period to reward attendance and celebrate student success.

Program Summary
OUR FOCUS IS ON PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION Challenging Failure (CF) specializes in helping students. What makes us unique is that we understand that not everyone learns the same way or at the same rate. To make sure the student succeeds, we present concepts and skills in a way that each particular student understands them. This driving belief at CF is the basis for the unique approach we use. Our certified teachers are experts at using this approach. OUR APPROACH IS UNIQUE We focus on the individual needs of each student. CF concentrates on finding and using the instructional approaches that work best for each individual student based on their personal strengths and weaknesses. Our certified teachers are experts in helping each student understand, use and master the core concepts required by the Georgia Standards. We determine where the problem is for each student and instruction targets those problems. We invite parents to attend and participate in the tutoring sessions so they can further help their child at home. We do not believe in student failure. When the student does not succeed despite regular attendance and participation, we believe the failure is ours. We work hard to find the approach that works best for each student. OUR SERVICES ARE COMPREHENSIVE Challenging Failure (CF) specializes in helping students with disabilities, students at-risk, and students served under ESOL programs to meet expectations. We provide small group instruction 1-2 times a week (up to 2 hours per session) with a 1:4 tutor-student ratio.

Program Summary
Custom One-on-One, or small group tutoring, (less than an 8:1), in the student’s home or pre-arranged facility. Progress occurs because of the Individualized nature of the program, while supplementing classroom work. Qualified tutors are “matched” to the student in Reading, Language Arts and/or Math. Parent insight, teacher feedback, school assessment scores, and initial pre-testing form a program blueprint, and tutoring progresses as subject mastery is achieved. Each student receives a custom Individual Student Plan & Academic Plan of Achievement and Goals, with teacher’s feedback requested to assist in preparing a program for each student. Daily Lessons are prepared for each student using Georgia Performance Standards (GPS), and regular Progress Reports are provided every 2 weeks. Using a final Post-test session, test data is compared to the initial Pre-test to determine improvement for each student. Tutoring sessions are traditionally twice per week, between 1.5-2 hours, followed by a Parent Consultation. On average, improvement is one letter grade after 3 months. Student achievement improvement has averaged over 25% in Reading; Language Arts; & Math for 4 consecutive years. 6 years proven results working with at-risk and Low-Income students under the "No Child Left Behind Act".

Program Summary
Cool Kids Learn, a non-profit educational organization, has provided academic tutoring and enrichment programming for 7 years. Funded in part by various children's service councils and the United Way, our programs and services have as their primary mission to help children and youth build the academic skills and the love of learning they need to succeed in school and in life. We are currently operating SES tutoring in 10 states. We have a strong history of documented test score improvement: latest (2008-9) pre- and post-test performance data indicate that students who attended our program improved reading and math skills by up to 40%, with students at greatest risk showing some of the largest gains. Participating schools also have reported better overall engagement in the learning process. Tutors meet with students at their school or nearby community location (religious or community center, library) or in the student's home. Learning plans focus on a specific set of goals, according to the report card received from the student's school and from our own evaluations. Individual learning styles are also taken into consideration, which also determine assignment to the student group best suited to match needs. Students receive personal attention and move at their own pace towards reaching their weekly and overall targets. Our own Steps to Success curricula covers all the major Reading and Math strands and engage students in fun, enriching and meaningful ways. Special accommodations are made for English Language Learners to help them come up to speed with the general school population. In an effort to help improve quality standards, we serve on Department of Education Advisory Panels in Tennessee and Florida. Cool Kids Learn has served Georgia students and their parents since school year 2006-7.

CPH Training began tutoring students in SES programs in 2007, using computer courseware employed in school systems nation-wide for 20+ years. Originally designed for classroom use, PassKey has proven effective as an in-home tutorial program for children at risk. Substantial data demonstrate the effectiveness of the program in improving academic achievement on state standards. Built-in correlations to national/state proficiency tests/standards make it easy to assign the precise lessons a student needs for optimum test and classroom performance. PassKey effectively prepares students for success in all types of testing situations which helps to improve a district's No Child Left Behind report card. Typically, sessions last for 1-2 hours/day 3 days/week. The approach is instructor-guided, technology assisted tutoring for students to improve skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. PassKey is a prescriptive learning system and includes a brief pre-test, tutorial, guided practice, and post-test. To further delineate students' needs, PassKey's built-in diagnostics will automatically assign appropriate lessons and make it easy for instructors to identify skill deficiencies in appropriate subject areas. Computers are provided to the student, as well as Internet set up and usage at no charge to the student. Courses are offered on-line and directed by site faculties at scheduled times and on-call as needed. This type of program offers flexibility to the parent, the necessary tools for program utilization, and the support that is expected of a quality program. Certified and qualified staff members are online to model and guide instruction as needed. Students must complete 35 hours of instruction as a minimum, but can receive additional hours as needed or desired. CPH consultants are a highly qualified group of educators (classroom teachers, administrators, superintendent) who have 60+ years of experience working with low-performing at-risk youth.

Program Summary
The Sylvan NCLB program is the same program advertised on television. Sylvan Learning Centers are conveniently located in Clayton County, Fayetteville, Stockbridge, Oakwood, Peachtree City and Cumming. For more information and directions visit www.educate.com or call 770-684-0861.
Sylvan has been a SES provider in Georgia since 2003 and has helped over 1000 NCLB students. NCLB students participate in the same instruction sessions as all other Sylvan students. No Child Left Behind students have averaged ¾ of a grade level increase on the California Achievement Test over their three months in the Sylvan Reading or Math programs. Our goal is to develop students’ academic skills so they can become confident, independent learners.
Instruction is done at local Sylvan Centers so that all of the Sylvan learning materials, textbooks, and computer programs are available. The student teacher ratio is typically three students to one teacher. Students attend Sylvan two times each week for 1 or 2 hours depending on their age. The centers are open for instruction Monday through Thursday from 3:30 to 7:30 PM and on Saturdays from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM.
The first step is an individually administered diagnostic assessment to pinpoint skill gaps. These skill gaps form the educational prescription individually tailored to meet your child’s needs. Each student has a unique lesson plan that is updated after each hour of instruction. The Sylvan educational prescription is linked to the Georgia Performance Standards so instruction impacts students’ performance in Georgia classrooms. Sylvan teaches to mastery - we do not go on to a new skill until the student has mastered the previous skill. We provide written monthly reports to parents and classroom teachers on student progress in mastering specific skills.

We have successfully delivered SES Since 2004. We administer pre- and post-tests using MySkillsTutor -an online educational tool aligned to Georgia Performance Standards (GPS). The results help chart the students' academic goals, program structure and timeline of progress. The sessions, offered after school hours, are 1.5 hours per day two to three days per week. Our lab has 20+ internet ready computers. We utilize the GPS as a guide in administering the curriculum to ensure our instructions is consistent with lessons students are being taught in classroom. We provide SES to a minimum of 10 students per LEA.
