About Us
MISSION STATEMENT
At OC Learning Solutions our goal is to build confidence by addressing each student’s needs, empowering them to succeed with the skills they aren’t learning with traditional methods, unlocking their potential for life.
FIVE TOOLS TO BE SUCCESSFUL
The right intensity
Ideally, the student should meet with their tutor a minimum of twice a week for 50 minutes.
An Orton-Gillingham (OG) approach
At OC Learning Solutions we believe that teaching an OG method is essential to a dyslexic learner’s success. The Barton Spelling and Reading System is just that, an OG based system that is systematic, sequential, and multi-sensory.
Appropriate teacher to student ratio
Nothing beats one-on-one instruction. No two students with dyslexia learn at the same pace. When we tutor students individually, we can present the material that is paced specifically for each student.
A well-trained tutor
Although each student progresses at their own individual pace, it is recommended that the student continue until they are at or above grade level. The OG approach follows a progression and many students choose to continue tutoring even after they are at grade level to finish the progression. This process can take two to four years to complete.
Susan Barton says that, “research has shown that the single most important factor in a student’s educational success is the knowledge and skill of his or her teacher, and that is even more significant when the student has a disability.”
The right duration
Although each student progresses at their own individual pace, it is recommended that the student continue until they are at or above grade level. The OG approach follows a progression and many students choose to continue tutoring even after they are at grade level to finish the progression. This process can take two to four years to complete.
