SERVING OUR COMMUNITY

Specialty Tutoring is a long-term and well-respected asset to our community. 

Our referrals from pediatricians, Fort Wayne Neuropsychology, cognitive & behavioral therapists, and educational agencies ensure that the children who need specialized services are being led to the place that is the right fit for them.  We have earned the respect of principals, teachers, and school counselors as they have witnessed their students make gains though our individualized programming.

I don’t know of any child yet who did not benefit from Specialty Tutoring. I thoroughly believe in it, (and) highly recommend it.

Mary S. – principal

I just saw great success with my students who were involved in the program…you could see that growth follow right through into the classroom. This is a wonderful program, and I would highly recommend it to everyone.

Chuck G. – principal

I just want to say thank you for the service you provide to our community. It means a lot…to our patients and our families who come back very pleased and…show significant improvement as a result of being involved in your program.

Tasha W. – physician

I’m so thankful that you’ve always been able to take kids with mixed medical issues…And certainly all the families and kids who’ve come back to Fort Wayne Neurology have been really appreciative of all of the work that you’ve done.

Specialty Tutoring has proven success in the delivery of after-school and in-school collaborative services.

Specialty Tutoring offers an intensive tutoring program at the Boys and Girls Club of Fort Wayne, as a partner in a 21st Century Community Learning Center since 2013, which provides free reading and math help to children attending partner schools and identified as academically at-risk. This long-term collaboration at multiple Club sites is a thriving & wonderful example of agencies working together to build confidence and academic skills for children’s success.

Specialty Tutoring provides caring, professional tutors. These skills transcend into our children’s academic success and the increase in self-confidence. They truly invest in each child’s success.

Diane S. – Boys & Girls Club 21CCLC Director

Those that have been participating with (Specialty Tutoring) have gained tremendously in their reading skills…

Rebecca S. – principal

All the tutors I’ve come in contact with really care about the children. They care about the job they’re doing to prepare them and getting them on to grade level… It’s a real, real benefit as a principal of a Title I school to know that there are companies out there who are not just out to make a quick buck, but who can really make a difference in a child’s life.

Timothy B. – principal

Students look forward to meeting your highly qualified teachers. You’ve done a great job training them to help fill in those gaps and make the children strong in their skills.”

Debbie P. – teacher

We also offer Title I funded tutoring as a partner with non-public schools who choose our individualized academic support for their qualifying students. This is an effective way for students eligible for this (FWCS-administrated) funding to get specialized (and free to the family) help during the school day for their learning difficulties and bring their reading & math skills up to grade-level.

From 2003 through 2012, Specialty Tutoring worked with over 1000 students at 20 area Title 1 schools at the school site as an IDOE provider of Supplemental Educational Services.  We are proud of the students’ improvements in reading and math scores, and also the high provider ratings awarded to us.
