Pearl’s virtual classroom helped I Heart Learning Academy tutors focus on the creative demands of multisensory teaching
Background:
Michelle Roy and her team of instructors at I Heart Learning Academy in Dallas, TX, fill a special niche in the world of tutoring: they specialize in multisensory instruction for special needs students, including those with dyslexia and ADHD.
Challenge:
Conventional reading instruction does not work for kids with dyslexia. These students need (and deserve) qualified one-on-one multisensory instruction to engage and empower them to succeed. The arrival of COVID-19 has made it even more challenging for kids with dyslexia. Michelle and her team had to figure out how to deliver their life-altering services with the new barrier of virtual instruction.
The Pearl Solution:
To help I Heart Learning Academy serve its mission of providing premier literary instruction to all students, Pearl provided I Heart Learning Academy with a hybrid tutoring platform that made the transition from in-person to online as frictionless as could be.
Pearl’s tutoring software, which includes an easy-to-use online classroom, and business tools like scheduling and notifications, enables I Heart Learning Academy tutors to focus on the creative demands of teaching in a multisensory manner without disruption – which is essential to maintaining the student’s attention.
I Heart Learning Academy successfully increased their tutoring sessions one hundredfold thanks to Pearl.
