ENGLISH TUTORING
In Language sessions at Aldon Tutoring Centre Geraldton children work through reading, comprehension, spelling
and writing activities through a multi media approach, combine computer work with linked activities on worksheets
and in workbooks. Reading and Writing Strategies are introduced and practiced at appropriate times as your child
develops their literacy skills. A qualified tutor is available to help your child on a one-to-one basis as needed.
The Aldon Language Program
This approach is a multi-sensory method which uses the eyes , the ears, the mouth and the hand. The language
program is a sequential phonetic analysis approach to develop literacy. Word family groupings form the basis for the
teaching of spelling. This provides a solid foundation for future literacy extension.
MATHS TUTORING
Dr John Gough in Diagnostically Mathematical Tasks published by UNSW Press states that:
"The diagnosis and subsequent remediation of specific difficulties does not need elaborate training or specialist intervention.
Once a student's level of understanding has been found, ordinary methods of teaching will help the student progress. Good remedial
teachers are simply using good teaching techniques on a one to one or small group basis. They are not using magic. ...Dealing directly
and immediately with students' difficulties is the best medicine."
The Aldon Maths Program
Aldon Tutoring Centres have developed a diagnostic and remediation math's program to help children who are experiencing difficulty in Math's.
Problem areas are noted and corrected, using computer assisted instruction, worksheet activities and teacher intervention. The program is
designed for P-10 students and covers all aspects of Number, Space, Measurement, Chance & Data, Algebra and Working Mathematically.
