The curriculum is designed to improve grades, CRCT scores, and aligns with GPS. An integrated approach is used in reading, to address word analysis, vocabulary, comprehension and study skills.

All of our curriculum content is research-based and focuses on helping struggling students succeed. Students are pre-tested to identify which skill sets they are deficient in so tutoring services are 100% customized and individualized for the needs of the client. We also use local and state assessments when available, as well as parent and teacher recommendations to develop the learning plan/goals. Periodic mini-assessments are used to monitor the student s growth. During the final session a post-test is given to measure the overall gains of the child and the new academic skills they have achieved. Through traditional one-on-one and small group tutoring, students are able to reach and exceed their educational goals much more quickly and effectively. Strong teaching backgrounds and a comprehensive understanding of children s needs enables these qualified tutors to develop learning skills, polish self-esteem, boost confidence and enhance motivation.

Reading has been teaching reading to students throughout the Southeast for 11 years and has been an SES Provider in Georgia for four years. Our reading lessons are designed using the five scientifically-based strategies recommended by the National Reading Panel to increase reading skills. Every student is pre-tested to determine their unique needs and an Individualized Learning Plan is developed with teacher and parent input. Then, leveled books are chosen that reflect each student's current reading abilities. As students' mastery increases, additional tests pinpoint remaining skill gaps. Learning Plans are then updated to fill those gaps. Finally, post-tests are administered to gauge student improvement. Each child receives approximately 20 hours of tutoring, usually 1 hour sessions, twice weekly. All of our pupils will move to the next reading level or higher. Every child keeps every book they read. Lessons are held in LEA's, churches, libraries or other public area. We provide all materials including scripted lesson plans, books, word cards, and any other materials needed for the course of instruction.

While there are many educational tools available, NGA has chosen the Jamestown Reading Navigator (JRN) program. Although this program is a reading program we incorporate reading in other areas, with an emphasis on reading math. Many math students have an underlying reading problem that inhibits their ability to learn math concepts. The JRN curriculum has shown remarkable success in engaging reluctant and/or struggling readers. JRN uses high-interest materials, current events, and bold graphics, along with cutting edge technology to appeal to students. NGA believes the student's ability to comprehend and read on grade level are important components of his/her academic success. Studies show good readers make better history, language arts, science, and especially math students. The JRN curriculum applies this philosophy in the "reading across curriculum" technique which is prevalent throughout the material. NGA also believes that every child is unique. Students who attend NGA are individually assessed and a customized academic plan is implemented for each student. A self-paced curriculum that incorporates one-on-one tutoring with supplemental group activities is used. NGA has a proven track record of significantly improving student academic performance. Many students who completed the program have gone on to receive various scholarships including the HOPE Scholarship. In addition to our dedication to each student, we credit our students' achievements to the commitment to the program and parent support. We welcome the opportunity to work with you in helping your student pursue academic success. Specific tutoring times will be worked out between parents and tutor, however, your child's success will require that we meet at least 2 to 3 times per week with sessions lasting 1 to 2 hours.
