Individual Educational Strategies (IES)
Do you ever know there are undiscovered potentials in your children? Have you ever wondered why your parenting does not bring you the ideal results you expected? In fact, every child has his/her individual learning needs, and their potential strengths and weaknesses are not so obviously observed. With our professionals, you are going to find out the strengths and weaknesses of your children with objective and accurate parameters.
For example, you may find that your children's Chinese ability is not as good as expected, and the literacy is not up to snuff. However, most of the time, the problem may involve multiple factors, and our psychologists will explore the underlying reasons from the assessment. For instance, children may encounter difficulties in interpreting the structure of the word, or they read slower than other children do, and it may take more time for them to understand. All these may result in children could not perform well within a limited time.
This shows the essences of Individual Education Strategies lies. Teaching strategies and learning goals are tailor-made to fit your children’s needs, making education and learning more effective but less pressure.
