Free “Success Starts Here” Workshop T he Tutoring Center is pleased to present “Success Starts Here,” a FREE workshop for students who are entering grades 4 through 8, on Sunday, August 17 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. This event is offered as a community service to help area students start the new school year well prepared and confident. Are you worried about your child’s changing classes for the first time? Have you looked into a backpack and wanted to cry? Does your middle school student lose assignments – before or after they were completed? Are your child’s notes disorganized and missing the main ideas? “Success Starts Here” is recommended for any student who is changing classes for the first time, or has trouble getting and staying organized, planning his or her study time, and taking effective notes. The event starts with pizza for all, and includes a raffle drawing for helpful study and organizational aids. To make reservations, please e-mail The Tutoring Center at pepperpikeoh@tutoringcenter.com, with student’s name and grade, and parent’s name and phone number, or call 216.292.4357. Space is limited, so early reservations are recommended. The Tutoring Center is located at 30659 Pinetree Road, in Landerwood North Shopping Plaza at Lander and Chagrin. Using its research-based rotational approach to learning and one-to-one instruction, The Tutoring Center helps students from kindergarten through high school to rapidly increase skills in reading, writing, math and study skills, while also improving focus, concentration and confidence. Students with ADD/ADHD or other learning challenges thrive in this environment. More information is available at www.pepperpike.tutoringcenter.com, or by calling 216.292.HELP.

Selected students are required to attend all scheduled sessions, including seven Sunday meetings, a presentation to the Federation’s Board of Trustees, Super Sunday, two dialathons, and conduct outside research and agency site visits.
