With the right support, challenges turn into assets
About Us
We are a leading center in the community dedicated to diagnosing and supporting students with specific learning difficulties. Our diagnostic assessments are recognized by esteemed international educational boards, including IB and IGCSE, ensuring that students receive credible evaluations that align with global standards. Our mission is to facilitate the learning experiences of students with specific learning difficulties, providing them with the necessary support and resources to help them thrive academically and personally.
Focus
We focus on students with average or above average intelligence whose brains process information differently. Accordingly, they may struggle with specific areas of learning like: reading, spelling, math, writing and organizational skills; yet they often excel in areas requiring creativity and innovation.
We provide our students with educational and therapeutic services that build on their strengths to bridge the gaps in academic performance, and enhance their independent study skills.
Our ultimate goal is a student feeling good about themself and their achievements, capable of independently studying for school and university, recognizes their strengths and advocates for themself.
Our Services
We use state-of-the-art remedial programs and curriculums designed specifically for students with specific learning differences. Our services are conducted by a group of passionate, well-trained, and qualified teachers and therapists. We tailor our intervention to meet the individual and unique needs of each student following thorough psycho-educational testing.
Diagnostic Assessments
Psycho-educational testing is important to explain the challenges faced by the student and better plan for successful learning experiences. This involves gathering an extensive developmental and educational history, administering formal standardized tools of cognitive abilities and academic achievement, as well as informal testing.
Identifies the student's underlying abilities, including working memory, processing speed, information processing, phonological awareness, visual and/or language processing.
Academic achievement levels are evaluated to confirm or rule out the presence of specific learning difficulties.
The student's areas of strengths and weaknesses, as well as their learning and problem-solving techniques, are identified.
Results are conveyed in a comprehensive report with tailored recommendations.
One-on-one Tutoring
Tutoring at I Learn is based on the thorough assessment results of the student and aims to build skills in a remedial and effective way. We address reading, spelling, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, critical thinking, math, reasoning and expressive writing.
We use multi-sensory structured approaches that link auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic senses in an individualized manner.
Our remedial programs and curricula are state-of-the-art, research-based, and designed to meet the unique needs and learning styles of each student.
We tailor our methods to ensure personalized learning experiences that align with students’ specific challenges and strengths.
Examples of the programs we use include Alpha to Omega, Units of Sound, Lindamood-Bell Programs (Seeing Stars, Visualizing and Verbalizing, On Cloud Nine), and حروفي الأولى.
Small Group Tutoring
Students may receive tutoring within a group of three or four students, whereby they alternate between receiving one-on-one tutoring and doing independent computer-based learning using research-based software that enhance literacy, numeracy and typing skills.
Study Skills
Students with specific learning difficulties often struggle with executive functioning skills (i.e., organization, active listening, etc.), affecting their study skills. Since we aim to empower our students to become independent learners, we provide study skills training through indirect, individualized one-on-one tutoring, or workshops delivered to groups of 2-5 students. The training aims to teach strategies related to setting goals, managing time, getting organized, listening effectively, taking notes, etc.
School Support
We welcome opportunities to work with our students’ school teachers upon request, with the goal of collaborating in addressing their educational needs. We believe that exchanging knowledge is extremely beneficial to facilitate the progress of students. As such we provide teachers’ workshops that address enhancing their skills in working with students with specific learning difficulties.
