Atlanta Learning Concepts gets results with students. Tutoring, Social Skills, Communication, Small Group Classes, Computer Website Design, Programming, and Graphic Arts Design Classes provide much needed skill development for all types of students including special needs and gifted. The unique learner is sometimes under-served by traditional school systems and parents often find success with additional tutoring and small groups.

SPECIAL NEEDS students include ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, PDD, and other types of learning differences. Instruction is multi-sensory, structured and sequential. Often, these students are very bright and have tremendous, untapped learning potential despite their learning challenges. While tutoring is offered to all ages, Atlanta Learning Concepts also has a spectacular reputation as a unique center that especially remediates, guides, and excites teenage students to use technology and other learning helps to fully demonstrate their performance potentials.

A long list of students who previously had low reading and math abilities, etc. have found success, raised their grades, developed study skills, entered college, and guided towards degrees and well-paid jobs. Students love the opportunities to advance academically, learn marketable skills, and perfect their communication abilities for friendships and work environments. All ages students are accepted.

Learning Concepts is available for tutoring in subjects such as:

•  Reading and Spelling
• Mathematics- All Levels
• Writing
• Creative Thinking
• Technology for Students
• Web Design/Programming
• Social Communications Groups

In every assignment, students give personal expression to their artwork, learn to make choices, identify        opportunities, and solve problems creatively.

Class Philosophy:

I teach from a Christian perspective. I believe in creation and a literal Genesis. Creation science and evolution are both theories, and one’s worldview determines which theory one believes. I believe in creation science, and I point out the inconsistencies of evolution with Biblical teaching.

This is a two-year introductory program that includes most of the AKS/CRCT standards for the public schools, grades 3-6. (In two years, we can’t cover everything.) In conjunction with a lesson, there are always hands-on activities, such as experiments with data-keeping, games, puzzles, graphs, and demonstrations. Children learn by active participation; they also have information to share. Our classes are lively and fun. Students will learn to use the scientific method, a binocular microscope, balance scales, and other science equipment.

I do not give tests or grades and only occasional homework to finish class work or carry out an experiment. My objective is that children learn that science is fun and exciting and to be prepared for more formal learning in higher grades.

Please contact me for further information.
