Need for Learning Centers Increases

As more children continue remote schooling this year - - learning centers are becoming a vital support system for families.

44news reporter marisa patwa is in evansville with more on how one educational facility has been dealing with the increased demand for services.

With so many students now in virtual classrooms, parents feeling helpless more to learning centers.

"we can come here and and they can focus her on the things that she's missing with the teacher not always being there or right there in the classroom.

We can still bring her here if she has questions and she can still get that one on one attention."

And students balancing new hybrid schedules are grateful for the extra homework help "we have to do a lot of stuff virtual now because of covid.

Huntington just helps you learn to deal with thew new technology you have to do."

"i only go to school for two days a week.

Like actual school.

So it's been very difficult learning not in the classroom because i feel like it's easier visually when you're in there and you can ask a teacher questions.

Cus when you're online.

The teacher usually focuses on the people who are in the class.

Which is understandable.

So coming here has been really a big help because they can look over my notes and really explain it in- depth."

One of the other biggest challenges?

High schoolers still dealing with the aftermath of act sat tests getting canceled in the spring.

"the biggest thing throughout all of this with our tutoring is we've had to stay really flexible with what we offer.

So those students that no longer can take the test.

We then help them with their college resume, we help them with their college essay and anything else along the admission process."

Even the littlest learners are needing guidance.

"as a grandmother, i didn't have children at home for a while so even just having, just knowing she is getting the support she needs and i get a little bit of a break -- it's wonderful."

Learning center services in the tri-state range from twenty five dollars to eighty an hour.
