Students and parents in Salmon Arm now have a new option for getting help with academics.
Logix Learning Centre opened this month in the Downtown Activity Centre and offers one-on-one tutoring for students from kindergarten to Grade 12, with appointment hours available between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. Monday to Friday or 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.
Services are available both in the bright classroom at the DAC, or via in-home tutoring for Salmon Arm clients.
Logix Learning Centre owner Diana Hall is a trained teacher who left the classroom to care for her own three children. With her children now older, she was looking to re-enter her profession, but not in a classroom setting.
“This was a way I could still use my skills and help kids, but on a more one-on-one basis,” she says.
With four qualified tutors, Logix Learning Centre can offer help with the basics right up to high school-level math, English, physics and calculus, as well as kindergarten to Grade 8 level French.
“There can be a host of reasons for tutoring – a bad report card, a gap in a particular subject, a learning disability. Each student is individual and each student learns differently, so with our services we can create a program to fit those needs,” says Hall. “There’s lots of attention and hands-on learning to help keep it fun.”
In addition, the centre will be hosting one-week learning camps in the summer to help kids stay on track and smooth the transition back into school in September. Dubbed Jump Start, the camps will be for kids in kindergarten to Grade 2 and grades three to five. They will run for two to three hours daily for one week each in July and August.
In September, Hall is also planning to open a Smart Start program focused on school readiness of foundations concepts like letters and numbers for preschool-aged children.
Hall is offering complimentary consultations with parents and students. Contact her at 250-832-0043, email info@logixlearning.ca or check out the website at www.logixlearning.ca.
