Targeted Solutions

Since initiating the Supplemental Education Services (SES)  program in 2004, YPI has provided more than 120,000 K-12 students with tutoring and project-based learning in English-language arts and mathematics.

Through individual program assessment, testing results and teacher evaluations, YPI identifies the areas of need for each student. Instruction is provided outside of the regular school day in afterschool and weekend scheduled programs.

The YPI SES Program features:

• Credentialed teachers and experienced academic tutors assistants
• Small group standards based instruction (5 to 1) in language arts and math
• 30 dedicated hours of tutoring per student
• Each student is pre-tested to identify individual academic deficiencies and post-program tested to measure academic gains
• A learning plan is developed for each student that directly targets academic deficiencies as identified in the individual pretest
• Instruction can be either linked to State of California standards or aligned with Common Core curriculum
• Intermediate and final student progress reports are developed for each student using formal and informal evaluation tools
