EVERETT, WA – November 16, 2007 – When the U.S. Department of
Education released “The Nation’s Report Card” last month, Mark Wilcox,
President of Universal Tutors LLC, wasn’t surprised that only three
states showed significant gains in reading and that students across
the nation demonstrated only modest improvements in math. “These
national test results reflect our experience that, despite the No
Child Left Behind Act, students are continuing to fall through the
cracks.” With the NCLB Act slated for Congressional reauthorization,
Wilcox doesn’t foresee the situation improving. “Although schools are
being forced to spend massive amounts of money in order to reach
federal benchmarks, it’s a numbers game where students invariably
lose,” he said.
Thankfully, Universal Tutors LLC, based in Everett, WA, is filling
the gap created by NCLB for students at all points along the
performance continuum with highly tailored, one-on-one tutoring
designed to help every child reach his or her potential. “For remedial
learners, individualized tutoring boosts academic achievement and in
the process raises self-esteem,” said Wilcox. “Our proficient students
solidify their knowledge base and begin to truly excel, while advanced
learners benefit from the depth and complexity that individualized
tutoring provides.”
Universal Tutors’ unique service is helpful to everyone from
preschoolers to adult students. While many services use a cookie
cutter approach to tutoring, in that they tutor groups of students and
utilize workbooks, Universal Tutors recognizes that every person’s
learning style is different. “We match our tutors to our students
based both on the subject matter and on personality, and our tutoring
conforms to the student’s individual curriculum,” said Wilcox.
“Whether we’re working with younger students who need to grasp basic
language arts concepts or AP students who want to supplement their
classroom instruction, we provide tutoring in the home or online.”
By serving students across the U.S. and Canada, Universal Tutors
essentially bridges the education gap. The U.S. Census Bureau found
that in 2002 (the last year for which statistics are available),
Americans spent almost billion on exam preparation and tutoring
services. Today, experts estimate that parents spend over billion
annually on tutoring services. “Parents recognize the importance of
education, as well as the ways in which their children are underserved
in the educational system,” said Wilcox. “While it’s a tragedy that so
many children are being left behind in the public school system, I’m
pleased that we can assist all of our students in broadening their
knowledge and developing study habits that will help them excel both
in school and in life.”
