Proven Strategies for Building Literacy Skills: Boost Student Performance
Button

VIACS empowers students using proven strategies.  We continually review research on how children learn and determine which methods of teaching are most effective based on the research evidence.

Individualized, 
ļ»æCustomized ā€‹Learning 
ā€‹Plans
Button

VIACS uses an understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable each learner to meet high standards.  Upon request, VIACS develops an individualized, customized learning plan to meet the particular learning differences and needs of each learner.  Students and families may elect to only get tutoring. However, tutors will not know the most effective strategies to meet the particular learning differences and needs of each learner.

VIACS helps students reach their full learning potential by providing them with resources to begin a process that enables them to begin learning and working smarter.  We help them to identify their unique learning style and gain comprehensive insights and strategies that promote academic achievement and improved performance.  What are their  preferences (i.e., studying in low light rather than bright light)? How do they learn best (i.e., by listening, seeing, moving, or touching)?
