Commonwealth Learning Center Delivers Individualized Tutoring in Hamilton, Massachusetts

Commonwealth Learning Center (CLC) is a different type of tutoring center. In contrast to other organizations that tutor learners in group settings, our tutors work with our clients one-on-one to give them the tailored attention they need. We believe that every client arrives at the CLC with their own personal challenges and educational goals. From kindergarten through adulthood, our students are given the assistance they need in a patient, caring environment.

We’re the perfect solution for students who need a little extra help overcoming obstacles to those with learning differences. Students with various learning challenges such as dyslexia, ADHD, language-based learning disabilities, non-verbal learning disabilities, and executive function difficulties come to us for support. Our educators are certified and experienced with postgraduate degrees in special ed, reading and math.

There are 4 main areas we provide services for:

Your First Step at the CLC: Educational Evaluations

We believe that early intervention is vital to help a child succeed in school as well as the rest of their life which is why CLC offers educational assessments that can help uncover a learning difficulty or effective learning style. Our assessments can aid in changing a student’s experience of life by making it fun and easy for them to learn where previously they had a hard time.

We offer a free-of-charge consultation with the CLC director for all new clients which includes a review of past exams and results. Once we discover a student’s strengths and weaknesses, we can deliver a personalized education plan just for them.

Post-evaluation, we review a testing report with each student and their parent that clarifies areas that need assistance and which of our programs we feel will be most beneficial.

Our Hamilton Reading Tutoring Program

Learning to read is often one of the toughest things for a young student to accomplish. We help foster improved literacy skills in Hamilton MA thanks to our selection of accredited programs that are proven to improve reading. All of them can address conditions that make reading challenging for students such as dyslexia. Our reading programs include:

• Orton-Gillingham

  This is a fantastic choice for clients who have a difficult time matching sounds with associated letters and often pause when trying to get through a sentence. It’s a phonetically based program that shows students the basic building blocks of the English language and then builds from there.

• Wilson Reading System

  This 12-step program is ideal for students who have a challenging time with spelling and reading individual words when they’re not being used in a sentence. The steps go beyond the phonics of the Orton-Gillingham program and people old on to what they learn from constant repetition. The program is effective because students review the current reading and writing concepts taught to make sure they can retain them before the educator advances them to the next level.

• About The Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing™ Program

  Also called LiPS, this is a powerful phonetic program for students who can’t process distinct sounds, or phonemes, within spoken words. It shows students how proper use of the lips, tongue, and mouth creates the basics of letters and words.

• Nancibell® Visualizing & Verbalizing® Program

  This program helps students develop mental imagery as they hear and read words. Students in this program have the ability to succeed across numerous courses of study before reading and writing.

• We Help Hamilton Students with Math Tutoring

  From elementary math to advanced concepts such as calculus, we help students be their best at the subject through various teaching approaches. Our unique math programs help students at all levels “see” solutions to solve problems. We show students how writing down math formulas and solutions helps them retain what they’ve learned.

  Children learn math better when they see and “touch” numbers, which is the key reason why we use the TouchMath program to assist them in adding, subtracting, and multiplying numerals.

Test Preparation in the Hamilton Area

Getting ready for any test can be a stressful experience for a student in Hamilton, Massachusetts, but it’s even more daunting when that exam is needed for college or private high school admission. We assist students with the SAT, SSAT, MCAS, PSAT exams and more through our personalized approach. Our instructors stay abreast of the types of questions in these exams so they can show students how to be entirely easy and confident for them.

We can even assist adult clients with preparing for the GED exam so they can officially graduate from high school, earning them greater job opportunities.

CLC Tutoring Provides Many Client Advantages in Hamilton MA

We stand out by providing many convenient amenities such as ample parking at our locations. Our facilities are modern and well-equipped with computers. We provide all students with secluded, undisturbed work areas so they won’t be distracted.

All CLC tutors undergo background checks and we hire both part-time and full-time teachers. Our instructors have vast knowledge of and experience in assisting students with multisensory programs.

We can help you determine if your child qualifies for financial aid with the CLC. Siblings of clients receive a 10% discount on tuition. Students aren’t locked into contracts; they stay with us as long as they need the support.

ADD vs ADHD: Is There a Difference?

ADD and ADHD are two terms that many people easily confuse. Don’t they mean the same thing?

Yes and no. At one time, ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) were two slightly different diagnoses. ADD in children was defined by symptoms that didn’t include hyperactivity, but being more withdrawn, “spacey”, and having a hard time focusing and listening to instructions. ADHD in kids, on the other hand, was defined by having an abundance of energy, talking incessantly, and demonstrating “bouncing off the walls” behavior.

Today, however, ADD is considered an outdated term while ADHD is the medically recognized name for any behavior that indicates an inability to focus, whether the child is “hyper” or not. So, attention deficit disorder in children really falls under the umbrella of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. But your children’s doctor may still use ADD or ADHD to describe your child’s specific condition. They may still prefer to give an ADD diagnosis or an ADHD diagnosis to avoid confusion.

Diagnosing ADD and ADHD in Hamilton Kids

So, will your doctor conduct an ADD symptoms test or ADHD assessment for your child to determine if they have either? Believe it or not, there’s no single test to diagnose ADD or ADHD. Your child’s doctor will instead interview you, your child’s teachers, relatives, and other adults they come into regular contact with to determine if their symptoms are in line with ADD or ADHD. They’ll use standard guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics or the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) when making the diagnosis. Your child will also have their vision and hearing checked and receive a full physical exam to rule out any other medical conditions that may be causing symptoms similar to that of ADD and ADHD.

If your child is diagnosed with either, it’s important to let their educators know so they can work with them and make recommendations to you to help improve their focus in the classroom.
