FAQs
How long do students usually stay in the program?
- The average person spends 6-10 months at Advantage Tutoring Center (ATC). Some finish in 6 weeks if their difficulties are minimal. Some make an investment of three years and increase exponentially in their grades and self-confidence.
- There ore 330 lessons in the Expressways to Reading™ system involving reading accuracy, comprehension, spelling, and penmanship with full neurological benefits. Each lesson takes 40 to 60 minutes. To complete the entire ETR system would take about 280 hours.
- To complete all the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division sections of the basic moth lessons requires approximately 40-60 hours.
- To complete entire higher math and Algebra/Geometry preparation requires approximately 80 hours.
- To complete the entire 155 QuikComp™ lessons requires approximately 100 hours.
- To complete the entire 131 AdVocab™ lessons requires approximately 80 hours.
- To complete all of the programs above and receive full neurological benefits requires approximately 580 hours at 1 hour days for 5 days per week; it would take approximately 3 years if the student spent only 1 hour per day.
- We expect students to finish at least 3-5 lessons each week.
Why do you recommend five lessons each week?
- Both responsible research and our experience over the years reveal that five days of consistent work is best for optimal long-term memory retention and academic progress. Maximum success of this program requires completing the equivalent of at least four to five lessons per week.
- Research demonstrates that in 24 hours the average person forgets 80-901. of the information he/she receives unless the brain has been consistently trained to store and automatically retrieve that information. Our Expressways To Learning™ systems provide that solution. Concentrated rehearsal over a period of five days makes it possible to hold 90-100% of received information in long-term memory. Retention is assured.
- Only five days of consecutive study is also recommended to allow the brain to receive at least 24 hours of rest each week for optimal functioning.
