Build Your Child's Academic Confidence With Their Own Custom Learning Plan
Most kids who fall behind don’t lack smarts—they get lost in a one‑size‑fits‑all system. TLC gives them the tailored support they need to thrive.
Why Your Child Isn’t Failing—The System Is.
Schools focus on the top 10% and the bottom 10%, leaving 80% squeezed into the middle. Kids who struggle in one or two subjects are forced to figure it out alone. Soon, grades slip, homework battles begin, and the whole family feels the stress.
The Real Toll on Students & Families
They lose their enthusiasm for school
Students are underachieving, despite potential
Parents become both cheerleaders and taskmasters, emotionally drained
Homework turns into nightly battles
How TLC Was Born
For 25 years, TLC has partnered with families across the Greater Pittsburgh area. We saw parents stretched thin and kids losing confidence. So we built a better way: a one‑on‑one, consultative approach that pinpoints each child’s gaps and closes them for good.
The TLC Difference: Tailored Learning That Works
At TLC, every student gets:
Quiet, focused one‑on‑one sessions
Custom plans based on diagnostic assessments
A clear path to mastery, not just busy work
Our Proven Method
1.
Multisensory Instruction — Engage auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and other sensory inputs for deeper learning.
2.
Mastery Learning — Move forward only when a concept is fully understood, eliminating gaps in progress.
3.
Explicit Instruction — Break down complex ideas into clear, step‑by‑step instructions, not expecting students to just “get it”.
What Families Experience
Students gain core skills and confidence—no more dread of reading or math.
Measurable progress: better grades and stronger memory and focus.
Fewer fights at home, more smiles after homework.
Independence: kids learn how to learn, setting them up for college and beyond.
Fits Your Life—Not the Other Way Around
Most students only need 2-3 sessions per week
Fully flexible scheduling—change days with a week’s notice
Stepping‑stone approach: we’re here to build independence, not dependency
Beyond Tutoring: Building Lifelong Learners
TLC is a stepping stone—once your child masters the tools to succeed, they won’t need us anymore. Imagine them excited to learn today and walking across that college graduation stage tomorrow.
