IMSA Academy Learning Centers: We Make Learning Meaningful and Purposeful

IMSA Academy was established to provide support to struggling students with scientific subjects.  While the centers provide assistance in all academic subjects, it lays more emphasis on STEM subjects such as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.  We assist students with learning challenges as well as gifted students who want to excel in a particular subject.

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR CHILD?

Why do you need tutoring services for your child?  According to USA Today, the following are the top five reason parents needs a tutor for their children. 

Parents general say, ” I am looking for a tutor because

  • My child has lost focus  in science class
  • My child’s grades are dropping science
  • My child is working hard to no avail /has learning disabilities in Science
  • I do not have time and the science skills to sit and help my child with school work 
  • My child has lost motivation”

HOW IMSA EXPERT TUTORS CAN HELP

Our five-step approach:

  1. Identify the problem: each student who enrolls at IMSA takes a diagnostics test
  2. Design a Targeted  Learning Success Plan: our expert design a personal plan for the child
  3. Build Confidence: we empower the student to believe in their abilities
  4. Implement the  TLSP ( Targeted Learning Success Plan): we provided dedicated support
  5. Monitor, Assess and Reinforce/Redirect: we follow with metrics and adjustments as needed

A STUDENT-CENTERED APPROACH

Our tutoring approach is not a one-size-fits-all method. We instructed on the unique need potential and learning style, interest and motivation of each learner who comes to IMSA Learning Centers. Six fundamental questions help us diagnostic the personal issue that may impact the learning of each student:

  • Why do I need to learn science?
  • How relevant is Science for my career and my personal interest?
  • How can I be a good Science student?
  • How to tame my fear of science?
  • What topics of science do I struggle with the most? 
  • What is my grade goal in science this year?

 BENEFIT OF THE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN IMSA METHOD

  1. Mastery Building Comprehensive Support: We bring exceptional physics tutoring assistance. We help students develop quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills.
  2. Empowered-based Tutoring: We provide a learning platform which facilitates students to clear the doubts instantaneously, with the tutor. The study of physics is from understanding the principles on which it works.
  3. Goal-Oriented and Targeted Training: We offers physics tutoring to meet and match the student’s requirement.
  4. Expert Skills: As a STEM-focus learning center, IMSA is staffed with expert science tutors and coaches who do not just focus on tutoring; they focus on empowering the student to master and tame the subject areas.
  5. Purposeful Learning: Parents choose to bring their children to IMSA Learning Centers because of the value they receive. In order for students to master the topics in a physics class, they, need the following:

IMSA TUTORING STRATEGIES

Tested strategies that bring results:

1. Remediation :

Remedial Tutoring is ideal if your child is struggling with grade-level concepts and is falling behind.

  • we focus on the student becoming proficient in a certain area or subject.
  • we reteach to give the student content skills that he needs to master concepts, reach benchmarks and stay caught up with peers.

2. Coaching

Coaching is ideal for students who have issues with study skills, personal time management,  and organization and are overwhelmed.

  •  We teaching each student how to learn.
  • we empower the students with the skills that he needs to meet academic goals and succeed academically.

3. Support

Support is ideal if your child who is struggling in several subjects and are a risk of failing the class.

  • We blend remediation with coaching to address both the content and the student’s learning skills.
  • After identifying the  challenge, we empower the student with study skills to become successful in the particular subjects

4. Intervention

This is an intensive rescue plan for students who have significant deficiencies in many subject areas and are at risk of failing across the board.

  • We utilize intensive deeper learning strategies to minimize the deficiencies and help the student become successful
  • Intervention is meant to give the student the strategies to become proficient with a differentiated learning approach.

5. Enrichment

Tutoring is not just for struggling students. It is also for strong students. Our enrichment programs in our Challenge Academies are designed for students who want to challenge themselves to a higher level of learning.

  • We use accelerated method to teach targeted topics for strong, gifted, AP and Honor students.
  • We challenge and engage students in particular areas of learning such as AP subjects, Science, Science and specific topics, such as geometry, trigonometry, modeling, chemistry, biology, physics, anatomy, etc..e and challenge the student in a particular area of interest or strength.

Test Preparation

Many students fail a test, not because they do not know the material, but because the have test anxiety, lack of test strategies, lack preparation, or a combination thereof.

  • Ou Science test preparation academy focuses on teaching the mindset, strategies, skills, and techniques needed to score high on any Science tests.
  • The Science test preparation empowers the student to master the Science portion of any college admission test such as the SAT/ACT, the GRE or the GMAT.

COMMON Science TOPICS WE STUDENT STRUGGLE WITH  AND THAT WE COVER DURING OUR TUTORING SESSIONS

We offer personalized support to consolidate students’ learning and to develop study strategies. The role of IMSA tutor is to help his students improving academic proficiency and growth by increasing confidence and motivation.

Some of the popular topics students struggle with in a Science class:

  • Communication Technology
  • Waves and Sound
  • Electricity and Magnetism
  • Electricity and its Applications
  • Electricity and Electronics
  • Energy Transformation
  • Forces and Motion
  • Mechanical Systems
  • Motion and its Applications
  • Waves and Sound
  • Energy, Work, Power, and Momentum
  • Electricity and Magnetism
  • Light and Geometric Optics
  • Hydraulic and Pneumatic System

A STUDENT-CENTERED CURRICULUM

How we tutor Science: our physics tutoring curriculum is a blend of interactive, manipulative and experimental exercises. We do so with each student’s learning style in mind. We depart. Physics lessons are better grasped when taught with experiments and probing on the outcome. It’s a method of self-discovery by trial and error method to learn the underlying concepts in physics.

How we make science relevant: as the scientific study of the motion of matter in relation to space, time, energy and force physic is one of the most fundamental sciences. We help the student build a strong foundation in physics by empowering to see the relevance of the topics taught in class. With our interactive method, we make learning physics easy, fun and less intimidating.

OUR SUPPORT: HELP STUDENT UNDERSTAND HOW READING WORKS.

How can tutors and learning specialists best help the students who come to the  IMSA Academy for assistance with reading?

  1. Reading research provides valuable insights into the reading process. First, help students understand the role of reading in college. The importance of reading at the college level is unquestionable. According to experts at Southwest Texas State University, “[…] a college student must read 200 pages of text each week. Being able to comprehend and remember all the information in these weekly assignments is essential to success in college.”  In addition, let students know that the best way to improve reading is by reading.  In addition to understanding the importance of reading and the value of practicing, a good reading tutor should understand the following concepts.
  2. Reading relies on word knowledge. Keywords are fundamental to comprehension, and failure to understand words will often confuse or block comprehension of a passage. Whatever the reason, when students have weak vocabularies, reading is likely to be difficult.  When working with students, check for understanding of key terms and teach strategies for unlocking meaning.  As he or she confronts unfamiliar words, show the tutee how to use context clues, word part clues, and, when necessary, a student-friendly dictionary.
  3. Reading is a meaningful process. A reading tutor’s focus must be on the student’s ability to comprehend the material.  Comprehension is defined as the ability to create meaning from the text.  Helping students to realize that comprehension is the primary goal of reading is one of the most important tasks of a reading tutor.  In some cases, students come to college overestimating their reading ability.  Often they confuse reading with the ability to “pronounce the words.”  Emphasizing meaning and understanding will create the proper mindset for improving reading.  Here are some suggestions to offer a student who needs to strengthen reading comprehension.

 The key to all good reading is recognizing the following:

  1. what the author is writing about,
  2. the main idea being expressed, and
  3. the details or evidence used to support the main idea.

A topic is a subject being written about. It is usually one or two words or possibly a brief phrase.  The main idea is the primary point the author wants to make about the topic.  Because the main idea makes a statement, the main idea is (or can be stated as) a complete sentence. Encourage students to find or create a complete sentence when looking for the main idea. Complete sentences will help the student see the difference between a “topic” and a “main idea.” To prove or argue the main idea, a writer must supply support by using details, facts, reasons, events, or comparisons.

Sometimes authors don’t come out and say exactly what they mean.  Instead, they suggest, hint, or imply a particular meaning.  An inference is an educated guess, a guess based on some known fact or reliable clues.  Students often miss these inferences, so help them to discover logical inferences.  AVOID giving students inferences. Instead, question the student in a helpful fashion so that he or she reasons through the process to achieve meaning. Through questioning, help the student to see when he or she is making incorrect or unsubstantiated inferences that lead to unreasonable conclusions.  In order to read beyond the literal level of a textbook, readers will often have to make inferences about an author’s bias and tone.  

A bias is a type of prejudice or leaning toward a particular belief or viewpoint.

Tone is the attitude the author conveys toward his or her subject.

Students often misinterpret material by applying their own attitudes for that of the author. Help the student see the author’s bias and tone by picking up on inferences.

Reading is an active process. The goal is to help the student see that the successful student reads actively. Students coming to the lab typically begin reading without actively engaging their minds, a practice that is inefficient and ineffective. Demonstrate and teach your tutee that reading has multiple phases and that certain activities are involved before, during, and after reading.

Before Reading

The reader approaches the text with expectations and purpose. For example, encourage the student to survey the material, formulate questions before reading, and skim the material to determine the topic and overall organization. Give the student these tips for study-reading a textbook chapter or passage.

  • Prepare for the reading by surveying the reading assignment.
  • Turn any headings or titles into questions to be answered

During Reading

The reader searches out important ideas and recognizes their supporting details. He or she also uses transitional words within the text to make connections among ideas.  In addition, the reader connects the new information to what is already known. The reader is also asking himself questions and inferring the author’s bias and tone. Help your tutee to monitor his or her comprehension, to determine whether or not the text is making sense, and to use “fix-up strategies” if the meaning has been lost. Also encourage your tutee to be active — questioning, annotating, highlighting, and making margin notes.

Tell students that properly marking a textbook and making notations in the margin can help visually separate topics from main ideas and support.

 Try these marking techniques:

  1. Underline major points.
  2. Draw a vertical line in the margin to emphasize a point already underlined.
  3. Put a star or asterisk in the margin by an important statement.
  4. Place a question mark in the margin by a statement you don’t understand.
  5. Use numbers to indicate a sequence of ideas or parts of a concept.
  6. Circle words that you need to look up or that might be on a test.
  7. Write your reactions and comments in the margins.

Tell the student, “Instead of reading an entire chapter at once, try this strategy…” • After you have previewed the assigned pages, read closely for comprehension.

  • Read from one heading to the next and stop.
  • If there are no headings, read only a few paragraphs or so, a passage that seems to make a point or unit of thought.
  • After you’ve read a section, mark it, identifying main ideas, supporting details, inferences, and author biases.
  • When you are satisfied that you understand what you have read, or if you have written down any questions you need answered by the instructor, read until you get to the next heading and stop, marking your text and writing down any questions.
  • Continue going from heading to heading until you have completed the assignment. If you don’t have time to read the entire assignment in one session, you will find that your previous markings and questions will help you when you come back to finish.
  • When you have finished reading, look back over your markings and try writing a summary of the main points.

 After Reading

The reader recites and reviews the materials. Urge the student to pause and summarize the main idea and supporting details to check again for understanding and recall.

Reading is a communication process. In a sense, reading is a mental conversation between the writer and the reader. Consequently, what the reader brings to the reading matter is critical to his or her understanding of the author’s point. Many students are unfamiliar with the subject matter, terms, and concepts they encounter in college reading. As you work with the student, check for background knowledge. If the student is missing key information, provide that information before going further
