Dear Parent of a Learning Different child,
Since July 1999, we have been part of a trial exercise for an educational aid called TURBO-TUTOR®. Our son's piano teacher came across the opportunity on the Internet. Let me tell you how it has benefited us.
TURBO-TUTOR is easy to use. The instructions, both written and on video, are very specific and detailed. You don't have to be a teacher or have special training to use this. It's handy to have most everything you need in one small box. Other items are easily found around the house. Another learning enhancement tool we once used required renting out a small computer which we soon had to give back. It is convenient that the materials are simple and at hand.
Another part of the simplicity is that using TURBO-TUTOR to help our son doesn't require hours of driving to see a specialist, or lots of money to pay the specialist!
While TURBO-TUTOR has a sequenced plan for moving through the games, these games can be rearranged to personalize them to your child's needs. The back-up team of TURBO-TUTOR staff are approachable and responsive, just a phone call or an e-mail away.
TURBO-TUTOR is fun for both parent and child. It has a "you're a winner" approach that builds up the child's confidence.
Our results in four months of using TURBO-TUTOR, is that Stephen is having his first success with spelling. I believe his overall focus is better. He is making faster progress in math. He has not used any ritalin for ADD since we began. His handwriting has improved.
TURBO-TUTOR dovetailed with some educational testing we had done on Stephen. The testing in June showed that a big weak area for him is visual memory. We know from dyslexia tendencies that sequencing is also a problem. TURBO-TUTOR has allowed us to exercise and strengthen both these areas with the various colored cubes games.
I find that Stephen has a better overall school day (we home school), when we start the morning with TURBO-TUTOR. We sit down at the dining room table and away we go. I think he feels more confident in himself with TURBO-TUTOR.>
I just asked Stephen if he had any comments about TURBO-TUTOR. He didn't (that's normal!). But I will say on his behalf that if we don't do TURBO-TUTOR, he reminds me, saying "Hey, we never did TURBO-TUTOR!" TURBO-TUTOR is one part of Stephen's school day that he enjoys.
Many thanks - L & S, NC
