Since 2004, the Notre Dame Learning Center has provided one-on-one tutoring for children in grades 1-9 in ELA/Reading and Math, in a safe, welcoming setting at the Charles Settlement House, 71 Parkway, Rochester, on the city’s northwest side. (NDLC is not a program of the Charles Settlement House, but is a tenant at their facility.) In 2018 we expanded to provide our services at Bishop Kearney High School, 125 Kings Highway.
The Notre Dame Learning Center provides tutoring in the City of Rochester while inspiring creativity, resilience, and confidence in every child. Our tutors inspire and engage these young minds, embracing the diverse backgrounds, hopes, and dreams of each student who walks through our doors. This work reminds us that education is not just about academics but about nurturing each child emotionally and socially. Our tutors create an environment where learning is not only a pursuit of knowledge but a means of personal growth, empowerment, and connection to the world around them.
Enhanced Learning Experience
Each student works on an academic area suggested by the parent, teacher, or as the result of diagnostic testing. Parents say the bond formed between student and tutor is as beneficial as the academic help.
Small group learning experiences are included to help students hone their social skills and learn co-operation techniques, all in a safe environment for inquiry and exploration.
Technology
Internet access is available and encouraged for discovery and exploration of relevant topics of interest to the child. ChromeBooks are also provided for students at the Center.
Summer Program
In the summer, the Center may offer an enrichment program, which helps students maintain the gains they made during the school year.
