3930 Educational Tutoring & Consulting
Understanding the best ways to support your child can often feel overwhelming. It can be difficult to know where to start or which questions to ask when you realize that your child is not receiving adequate educational support. An Educational Advocate possesses a thorough understanding of the school system and can help families who are facing difficulties in obtaining the answers and services their child requires and deserves. By working closely with families and collaborating with the school, an Educational Advocate ensures that the unique needs of each student are met.
