Remedial education: when learning needs another approach.

One-on-one support for students who struggle with reading, writing or math. In Montréal, in person or online.

Young student reading aloud with a teacher

Understand the difficulty before working on it.

A learning difficulty is not a lack of effort. In remedial education, we start by observing how the student reads, writes and reasons.

Then we give them strategies that fit the way they learn, and practise them until they become second nature.

Who is it for?

  • Difficulties with reading or understanding texts
  • Difficulties with writing, spelling or grammar
  • Difficulties with math, arithmetic or problem solving
  • Students with a learning disorder, diagnosed or not
  • Lack of method, organisation or confidence

How do we proceed?

  1. Observe
    A picture of the student

    We find what is blocking progress, using schoolwork and short activities.

  2. Plan
    Clear goals

    Two or three targets at a time, no more, to make real progress.

  3. Equip
    Concrete strategies

    Tools suited to how they learn, practised session after session.

  4. Follow up
    Visible progress

    We track progress and keep you informed.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a diagnosis to start?

No. Many students come without a diagnosis. If we think an assessment by another professional would help, we will tell you.

How is it different from tutoring?

Tutoring reviews the subject. Remedial education works on how the student learns: strategies for reading, writing, arithmetic and organisation.

Can sessions be held online?

Yes, although in person often works better for younger children.
