Omega Learning Center® builds a customized program for each student including an assessment, hearing/ vision test and personality evaluation. We place each student with a certified teacher best fit for their learning and personality style. A tutor is assigned to each student and their progress is closely monitored so they stay on track. The basic skills a child needs to succeed either in math or reading are like building blocks. If they are not firmly in place, they cannot serve as a foundation for future development. Most underlying skill weaknesses go undetected until students are faced with more difficult concepts. For example, if a student has trouble with division, a basic math concept, he will have trouble grasping more complex concepts such as Algebra that incorporates multiplication and division. Our assessment of the student’s skill levels in relation to grade level and age will determine his program and learning objectives.

Learning styles
According to many educators and leading theorists there are three main learning styles:

1. Auditory
The student learns best by listening or hearing. They would rather talk about a concept. The student would benefit mostly from verbal communication and instruction.

2. Visual
The student learns best by seeing. They would rather watch a demonstration and visualize the information related to the concept. The student would benefit from the use of visual aids with instruction.

3. Tactile
The student learns best by doing. They would rather have direct involvement in what they learn. The student would benefit from using manipulatives for problem solving.

"Victory" based Learning

Our students play an integral role in driving their academic success. Each tutoring session is geared towards achieving purposeful goals. We teach students how to check for mistakes and learn independently. Once they have achieved "Victory" over each skill with accuracy, they can advance to the next skill. All skills, per state standards on standardized testing, are logged each day and mastered upon completion of program.

Progress is checked at regular intervals in the students program. The Center Director and tutor will review the students' progress with the parents at the scheduled conference half way through their program. The student’s teacher and parents are sent daily correspondence which shows what they worked on and gives recommendations for home growth.

The exact length of the students program depends on what the initial assessment showed and their specific academic family's goals. Once the student demonstrates proficiency, they can progress to level. Therefore students progress at their individual pace. Strong skills lead to increased confidence. Students are post-tested on specific skills upon completion of their order to ensure "Victory."

Motivational Program

Omega certified teachers give motivational praise and positive verbal reinforcement to ensure their success. During each lesson our teachers also award enrichment tokens for correct answers and good efforts which they can redeem for a variety of prizes, toys and games, and even video store gift cards, all available at the "Omega Store." Over the length of the program Omega students become more confident, happier kids and eventually responsible and competent adults!

At Omega, we take pride in providing a safe, caring and positive learning environment. We work hard to ensure the high quality of our scholastic programs. One of the benefits of the Omega experience is knowing that your child will be taught by committed certified teachers. While offering a 3: 1 student-teacher ratio, each student is working one on one with their instructor to fill skill their gaps. Our Omega certified teachers all share a commitment teaching and a desire to help students do their best.

The Certified Omega tutor sits inside the horseshoe-shaped table with her computer available to email parent and teacher at school. Each student will have immediate access to their tutor while also being able to work independently. This independence is critical self-confidence.

Upon completion of each student's tutoring session, immediate feedback is sent via email to both parent and teacher at school. The students are graded in a number including accuracy, attitude, and level of difficulty the student had in completing the work with accuracy. Comments and recommendations for home growth are also sent.

Omega sets up an initial correspondence with each student's teacher to introduce Omega as a part of a team in reaching this student’s academic goals and that the parents are also being responsible and pro-active in this effort.
