Experience is the best teacher: Founded by a veteran high school teacher; facilitated by expert tutors

A. Little Help will be directed by a twenty-plus years veteran teacher of science, including physical science, life science, earth science, Honors Chemistry, Honors Physics, and AP Chemistry. Program tutors have logged extensive hours of tutoring and have demonstrated mastery of the subject areas they are certified to tutor. In other words, We Know Our Stuff!!!

Learning is Understanding, not memorizing

Tutoring/Teaching methods will focus on the development of conceptual understanding by utilizing thinking and problem-solving strategies that will enable learners to successfully solve problems, regardless of the problem orientation.

Approaches to Learning

A Little Help is directed by certified teachers who have experience working with students from a variety of backgrounds and achievement levels. We believe that all students are capable of achieving at a high level if they are taught in a way that addresses their experiences and learning style while challenging them to think through concepts for themselves.

Tutoring: A time-tested solution to an unprecedented pandemic
 

We found that tutoring is remarkably effective at helping students learn, with over 80% of the 96 included studies reporting statistically significant effects. Averaging results across the studies included in this analysis, we found a pooled effect size of 0.37 standard deviations. In other words, with the help of tutoring, a student at the 50th percentile would improve to the 66th percentile. In the field of K-12 education research where there is little agreement on what works, these findings are remarkable not only for their magnitude but also for their consistency. The evidence is clear that tutoring can reliably help students catch up.

Preparation is the key for the SAT
 

"You must study for the SAT. Don't believe the people who tell you that you will do well because you are naturally 'bright,'" Carolyn warns. "This is absolutely a test that you can and should prepare for, and very often, that preparation will make a big difference."

  “What has come to be known as ‘The Achievement Gap’ exists because of inequality in our educational system that fails to address the societal disadvantages of some learners. We want to do our part to close the opportunity gap and provide such learners with the resources and confidence necessary for them to achieve at the level which they are naturally capable.” Arnold Little II, founder of A. Little Help

A.Little Help is a branch of the Advancing Life Institute, a subsidiary of Nineveh Community Outreach (NCO). NCO is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the economically and socially disadvantaged in the New Orleans Metro Area.
