Tutoring Services - how does this work?
One of our tutors is going to sit down and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your child. Your insight as well as speaking with your child allows us to formulate a starting point.
Prior to beginning the tutoring, your child completes a pre-assessment test. This assessment provides a picture of the learning needs. Our tutors combine the CLO diagnostic results with standardized test score data, information provided by you and other academic data provided by the school to create an Learning Plan (LP).
A screen name and password is assigned. The activities are monitored by our tutors. We report to you once every 2 – 4 weeks about the progress your child is making. As the parent, you also receive a screen name and password which allows you total access to your child’s program. We want you involved in this process.

Pre K/Elementary School
Students love sticky stuff and they actually learn from it. Our activities stick with elementary students because they engage young minds and stimulate curiosity. From the first-grader struggling with reading to the fifth-grader who’s a math whiz, this provides an interactive, challenging learning environment that engages children and delights educators and parents.
Children’s brains work in a way that’s fascinating, flexible, and inspiring. We’ve designed Odyssey to expand those limitless possibilities for growth, knowledge, and curiosity.
Middle School
Here’s a curriculum that unleashes the creativity of early adolescents and that’s actually based on current and confirmed research into how children’s minds work.
From project-based science lessons tailored for short attention spans to exciting animated language arts activities that introduce the wonders of Greek and Latin roots, Odyssey Middle School never fails to engage, inform, and captivate. We know that middle school children love how Odyssey applies innovative teaching methods within a rich interactive learning environment.
High School
Our High School program is designed to reintroduce the foundations of the four core subject areas to students. Many lack the necessary skills to take on a rigourous high school curriculum that states are demanding. We wanted to focus on giving students the basics so that upon mastery, they can tackle the upper level classes with ease.
Our program
- - is aligned to state standards in all 50 states
- - reflects the very latest confirmed research about how students think and learn
- - has powerful summative and formative assessment tools that measure progress
- - enables students to develop critical thinking skills while getting a head start on college-level work
- - promotes exploration, problem solving, reflection, and real-world connections — all while engaging students’ imaginations.
Classes include English 9/10, Government, US/World History, Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Life Science, Biology, along with several others designed to ensure a strong start towards that diploma and what lies beyond..
“My daughter has been using the tutoring program for more than a year and I saw a difference in the way she was learning in just the first month. Tiana now looks forward to doing her work after school and on the weekend.” — 2004
