What is multisensory tutoring?Multisensory learning means learning using more than one of our senses, or learning using as many modalities as possible. The four pathways to learning we employ in our multisensory tutoring are visual (sight), auditory (hearing), tactile (feeling/touch) and kinaesthetic (physical movement, like tossing a ball back and forth while spelling a word). Not everyone learns well just visually or aurally, which is one of the reasons the traditional classroom can fail children with learning differences. Our multisensory tutoring significantly improves learning through delivering the same message using more than one sense. What is Orton Gillingham

We are closed on weekends and holidays.
Please contact us to discuss our current availability and rates.
Yes, we are closed on all statutory holidays. We are also closed for two weeks at the end of December and one week for Spring Break. For exact closure dates, during the school year, we mirror the Vancouver School Board's calendar; when Vancouver public schools are open, so is Symbols. However, we are also open for 1-to-1 lessons throughout the summer.
As a general rule we like our students to consistently work with the same tutor, but should situations arise when a tutor is sick or on vacation the student may be provided with a substitute tutor. We also have cases, due to scheduling-related difficulties with placing a student with a single regular tutor, where the parent may request that the student be split between two tutors as an alternative to being placed on a waitlist until a single tutor becomes available; while we don’t usually encourage this kind of arrangement, we’re happy to accommodate it. Due to our careful record keeping and our policy requiring lesson plans to be prepared at least a day in advance, any of our tutors can deliver any student’s lesson with ease, so substituting single lessons, or split tutor arrangements are usually very successful at Symbols.
We are always happy to answer any questions from parents about a student’s progress either over the phone, through email or in person. Meetings can be scheduled with our Director of Education at no additional cost. Furthermore, we encourage separated parents to share their user ID and password to our secure website, so both parents can sign in and read the daily lesson summaries and the reports at their own individual convenience.
