Case Study 3

8th grade ESL course

Laura

Was a 8th grade student

Had just moved to a new country and was taking an ESL (English as a second language) course in the 8th grade. He was struggling a lot with the classes and had previously tried numerous private tutors but he didn’t see any improvement. He needed to greatly improve her English proficiency levels or he would not be able to pass the school year. Her parents were also getting worried since they knew he had to improve immediately. They then decided to call Vital Tutoring.

We started the tutoring process by

Taking An Assessment Test

This really helped in identifying the major concerns for Laura. Through the tests, we determined that although her pronunciation and vocabulary were good her grammar and spelling were lacking. After we knew what we had to majorly focus on we devised a customized plan so we could focus more on the grammar and spelling to improve them significantly.

Charts

The stats below show that by practicing grammar and spelling with our tutor regularly, Laura was able to improve those scores within her class assignments and on our assessment tests. this showed us and the parents that we were on the right track and our tutoring was benefiting the student.

Beginner (A1) = 1
Elementary (A2) = 2
Pre-Intermediate (B1) = 3
Intermediate (B2) = 4
Upper Intermediate (C1) = 5
Advanced (C2) = 6

With our tutoring program

Laura Managed To Progress

Since Laura was making a lot of progress and we were regularly updating the parents with her assessments, they decided to continue the tutoring for the rest of the school year. Laura managed to raise her English proficiency by 2 levels by the end of the year. She made exponential improvement with our one on one tutoring program which is why her case was a great success story for us.

Since her improvement

Laura Has Now Updated Her Goals

And she hopes to do even better in her upcoming school year. She wishes to do well in the ACT exam and has already started prep classes for them. Since reading and English are two major portions of the exam she is working one on one with the tutor to improve those aspects and score well on the exam.
