Orthopédagogie or Tutoring: which one to choose for my child?

Tutoring:

This is a form of personalized help to accompany the child in his school work. The tutor’s role is more focused on the content to be learned rather than on the ways the student learns. The goal is to help your child keep up with the pace in class by allowing them to review and consolidate what is more difficult for them.

Orthopédagogie:

This is a professional who prevents, screens and assesses the challenges of at-risk students and those who have a learning disability. This service is for students who are significantly behind their grade level in reading, writing and math.
