Information for Parents
At the Pleasantville Learning Center we take a proven approach to            
assessing your child's needs and will provide a plan on how these needs will be
addressed.

Our student teacher ratio for group tutoring is between 1:2 and 1:5, which
allows for individual attention combined with peer group reference.  Our
individual 1:1 tutoring enables our teachers to provide full attention to your
child and to focus on their specific needs.

The focus of our services will be on adjusting our teaching style to your child's
needs whether your child needs help preparing for a test, help "catching up" in
a particular subject area, or an opportunity for enrichment not available in the
standard curriculum.

Our commitment is to help your child be a successful learner and even a
student who is performing well may benefit from help outside of the classroom
to sharpen study skills and test-taking strategies.
About The Pleasantville Learning Center

Our mission as a learning center is a commitment to helping your child become
a successful learner.  We believe in all children and their ability to achieve  
their highest potential.  We see every child as a distinct individual, with specific
needs which must be addressed if learning is to occur.  Our goal is to create a
learning environment that is safe, caring, enriched, and fun.  Our professional
staff is committed to these beliefs.
As the Director of the Pleasantville Learning Center my goal is to provide to
my community a tutoring center with an enriched environment where learning
can occur in an enjoyable atmosphere.  The goal of this center is to promote
exploration and the fun of learning.  It is a risk free environment where
professional tutors encourage your child to be an active learner through the
use of meaningful and relevant content.  There is no judgment made about
performance and children are encouraged to do their best without the worry of
criticism or competition from others.
