Learning Disabilities Clinic Featured in The Wall Street Journal’s SmartMoney Magazine
Post by Lynne Master on October 26th, 2011 in News and Announcements
Learning Disabilities Clinic (LDC) was recently featured, along with several other tutoring businesses, in SmartMoney magazine, a publication of The Wall Street Journal. The article, Tutor Nation, discusses the increasing reliance on tutors to supplement schooling in the advent of growing class sizes and the lack of personalized lesson plans.
“We couldn’t be happier,” says Lynne Master, founder of LDC. “This continues to confirm what we’ve known all along. Students benefit from the individual attention we can give in our tutoring sessions.”
The author, Missy Sullivan, discusses how parents are becoming dependent on the $5 billion private-tutoring industry, but also touches on how difficult it is to find the right tutor in an industry full of tutoring franchises and corporate giants. Sullivan equates the available choices to a gamble, but this time rolling the dice affects your pocket book and your children’s future.
“We understand parent’s concerns, and after a free consultation they realize quickly we’re the best choice. We’re one of the few tutoring programs in the nation that already holds school-level accreditation, staff members hold a master’s degree and their teaching certificate, and we provide one-on-one instruction,” says Master.
LDC has special lighting for kids with migraines, walking paths for students with attention deficit disorder and glass walls for those with claustrophobia. For more than 40 years the company has been focusing on the needs of children and young adults of all ages, from kindergarten through college. The company even offers adults preparation courses for a GED or continuing education tutoring.
“This isn’t just about the money,” says Master. “We want these kids to succeed in their lives, and we’re dedicated to making that happen. The responsibility is awesome, and we’re qualified for the challenges that lie ahead.”
