WELCOME
Tutoring & Instructional Services, Inc. is a private educational resource for individuals, families and institutions. Established in 1986,
we provide quality educational programs designed to meet the needs of each individual. Our services include educational consulting, private
subject-matter tutorials, academic support, enrichment programs, summer sessions, test preparation, and private school and college placement.
We also offer high school credit courses through our affiliated day school, Parker Academy. We consult regularly with other professionals in order
to provide a comprehensive approach to learning and growth.
Most individualized programs require an initial consultation meeting. In this meeting, we discuss the student's activities, academic strengths
and needs, family history, and any personal factors that may be influencing the learning process. We may also ask to review academic records
including report cards and any formal testing. Following this meeting, we will outline a variety of program alternatives. If further assessment
is necessary, we may request additional testing. All programs are managed under strict guidelines of confidentiality.
Once a program has begun, we evaluate progress after every session and make changes and adjustments as necessary. We communicate regularly
with parents, guidance counselors and classroom teachers. We encourage regular feedback and believe that growth and achievement result from
dedication, mutual respect and enthusiasm for learning. We frequently become strong advocates for our students and share in their accomplishments.
