EtB is a locally owned and operated, educationally-based learning center. We strive to place our students with specialists that truly match their area of need. Not only is the identified area of need important to us, but your child’s confidence and emotional trust are key components. Our specialists stay up to date with the latest evidence-based research and strategies to give our students an optimal learning experience.

We offer two levels of one-on-one service. Our Academic Support Services are designed for students that are needing support with current grade level skills and strategies. It is a hybrid between school support and intervention. Students typically bring in their school work, and our specialists create individualized plans to guide them with explicit instruction. They may develop supplemental related activities to further develop certain areas of need.
Our Intervention services provide solely intervention. Students receiving intervention typically display characteristics of a learning difference, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, or dyscalculia. Instruction begins where a student is currently performing, and then the Learning Specialist slowly introduces skills using a multisensory and direct instruction approach. Intervention includes specialized services that are designed to target specific weaknesses. Sessions might incorporate Orton-Gillingham, Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes, Speech/Language Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Intense Executive Functioning Therapy, or Multisensory Math.
We offer several services to our homeschoolers. They can come to EtB to receive one-on-one Academic Support or Intervention. They may select to participate in our Homeschool Hybrid, “North Park Learning Group,” as a full-time student or they can select classes a la carte. Homeschoolers that need annual testing or evaluations may meet with one of our certified teachers for a portfolio review or for standardized testing.
EtB services students PreK - Adult. We provide Academic Support and Intervention for all foundational skills in reading, writing, math, and executive functioning. We provide academic support services for upper level math (through pre-calculus) and science. We do not provide services for college entrance exams, such as SAT or ACT.
EtB is available globally. We use Zoom platform to “meet” our students around the world. Using various technological games and systems, we make learning interactive and personalized.
We love working with schools. Our school support services can include:
- providing intervention or academic support for students
- assisting school support teams with observations, families meetings, developing accommodation plans, and academic testing
- teacher support, training, and guidance with best practices
EtB is proud to provide schools with specialized resources that they may not have available. Students are able to stay in their mainstream setting, while the families use EtB providers to work with students and the school.
EtB is a proud provider of the Gardiner and Reading Scholarship. With your approval, we are able to bill directly to Gardiner. Please contact us for more information.

Each EtB child is provided with a Google Folder. Parents have access to our Policy and Procedures document, Credit Card Authorization Form, and notes from their sessions. Students receiving Intervention services will receive specific in-house assessments to continue to make sure progress is being made. More formal academic testing is typically recommended once a year.
