Do you follow the Indiana English curriculum?

Yes. Tutors align lessons with the Indiana Academic Standards for English/Language Arts and with your child's own school work. Share homework, worksheets or the topic list and the tutor will match it.

Can you help my child prepare for ILEARN ELA tests?

Yes. Local tests include: ILEARN ELA tests in Grades 3-8, IREAD-3 in Grade 3 and the SAT in Grade 11. Tutors build the underlying reading skills first, then practise questions in the right format as the test approaches.
