Frequently Asked Questions


1. What are the benefits of individualized review?

Much of what we learn best is learned from individual instruction, whether it be from parents, grandparents, mentors, friends, co-workers, or teachers. Tutoring taps into this effective method of teaching and learning.

By customizing instruction to the individual strengths, learning styles, and needs of the student, the tutor can help the student learn more efficiently than is possible in a large group environment. In a classic study comparing one-on-one instruction to traditional classroom instruction, psychologist Benjamin Bloom found that the average individually instructed student performed better than 98% of the students who learned in a traditional classroom environment. Tutoring consistently increases student performance. According to a survey by Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory in the US, individualized review:

increases mastery of academic skills,
improves self-esteem and self-confidence,
improves students' attitudes toward school,
reduces dropout rates, truancies, and tardies,
breaks down social barriers and creates new friendships, and
provides emotional support and positive role models (Fager 1996).
According to Fager (1996), tutoring provides individualized instruction, customized to students' own learning styles, and an environment in which "students progress at their own pace" and receive "praise, feedback, and encouragement over what they might receive from one teacher." Individualized review "maximizes time on task," and students see skills "demonstrated instead of just verbalized."



2. What are the advantages of Learning Owl In-Home Review Tutors over review centers?

Learning Owl Review tutors drive to your home. There is no need to travel to a centralized learning center. Our tutors come to you when it is convenient for you. Research has shown that in-home tutoring can be more effective than tutoring that takes place in other locations (Gordon 2009). Learning Owl Review provides one-on-one review, so that the student receives the individualized attention he or she needs. The tutor can customize instruction to the student’s individual strengths, learning styles, and needs. This results in efficient and effective learning. Finally, Learning Owl Review Center does not have the high overhead costs of centralized learning centers; hence we can offer our quality services at more affordable rates.



3. What are the advantages of Learning Owl Review over individual private tutors?

At Learning Owl Review, all of our tutors undergo an extensive interview and background check process, so you can use our in-home services with confidence. Using the Learning Owl Review gives you convenient access to a large selection of expert tutors in all review subjects. We match the student with the perfect tutor based on preferred meeting times, subject and grade level, and learning style and personality. We manage all billing and payments, so you can pay with confidence.



4. Will the tutor come to my home?

Yes. Our tutors travel to your home according to the schedule we establish together. We require that a parent or adult over 21 years of age be present during all tutoring sessions. If the student is over 18 years of age, tutoring can take place at a school library or other public location, but we strongly recommend tutoring in your home.



5. How often will the tutor need to come?

The frequency of review will depend on the needs of the student. In general, more is better, but the average session is 1-2 hours long and most students benefit from 3-5 sessions per week.



6. Does Learning Owl have experience helping students with special needs?

Yes. We have tutors with expertise in special education and experience working with students who have been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, and other learning challenges.



7. What is the initial review coaching session?

In the initial coaching session, we will personally meet with you and your student in order to assess the student’s needs and develop a success plan for him/her. During this one-hour session, we will:

help you determine if individualized review is the right option for the student, or if there may be a better path to the student’s success in the admission process,
interview the student to help him/her match with the best tutor,
assess your student's strengths and learning style,
help the student set priorities and develop some S.M.A.R.T. learning goals,
help the student clarify and organize career and/or college goals and a plan for success, and
develop a review plan.


8. Is there a minimum number of hours I must sign up for?

No long term contracts are required, but we suggest a minimum of fifteen (15) to twenty sessions to really see progress. We do require a minimum of 1 hour per session.



9. Are there any assessment tests required?

No. Learning Owl does not require expensive assessment tests, which can cost a hefty sum with some learning centers and tutoring services.



10. I have more than one student who will take entrance exam. Can they be tutored at the same time?

All of our tutoring is one-on-one. During the in-home consultation, we can discuss the most cost-effective ways to provide tutoring for more than one student at your home.



11. What does it cost?

We strive to keep our rates as low as possible. Our rates start at Php 500/hour (with discounts on certain programs) and could vary depending on the review program and grade level. Please contact us for more information.



12. How do I get started?

You can get started today by calling us at 0906-439-5534 or 664-1447. We will set up a complimentary in-home consultation with you and your student. Please have relevant school records and schoolwork available for this meeting.
