Why did you open ProLearning services and what are your goals?
After working for over 10 years in title 1 schools with students who consistently struggled with learning, we knew a more prescriptive approach to learning was needed. Therefore we wrote a proposal to establish a partnership between Texas Wesleyan University and a public school district to design and maintain a reading clinic. From there, we recognized that this prescriptive approach to learning would benefit both students and families beyond the school day. Therefore, we opened ProLearning to provide families with additional academic opportunities for their children to experience success and growth based on their individual needs.
ProLearning is a learning center that offers both private and semi-private tailored instruction, in the areas of reading, math (K-6), writing, STAAR test prep, and dyslexia services.
Children who:
○ experience prolonged lack of success under normal circumstances
○ have a difficult time recalling information
○ are delayed academically in comparison to their peers, under normal circumstances
○ neglect to self-monitor as they read or call words accurately but can’t comprehend
We believe that ALL students should have access to a literate life and our goal is to provide the tools for their success.
ProLearning is offering Summer Specials to help your child catch up, keep up or stay ahead. Here's a flyer for more information.
ProLearning is located at 7205 S. Cooper St., Ste.111, Arlington TX 76001.
