Lyceo homework class and tutoring

Lyceo offers a range of services for school-aged children. Since our website is in Dutch, we have created this page with a summary in English. Lyceo has locations all over the country, both at schools and on our own premises. School locations may also be open to pupils from other schools. Our own locations are open to pupils from all schools in the area.

Homework class:

1. Intake interview: During the intake interview, we will discuss your child’s struggles and how we can help. We will inform you of our method and will answer all of your questions. If the intake discusses tutoring, we will introduce your child to a tutoring mentor who can help with that particular subject.
2. Course of action: We will create a course of action based on the intake interview and the study skill and motivation test results. The course of action will include questions to ask, agreements and ways to contact.
3. Getting started with homework class: During homework class, your child will work independently on their homework with mentors to help when needed. We work with practice and test questions from our own Lyceo Leren Leren- methode© (Lyceo Learn to study method). In a clear planner, your child can keep up with their personal goals, week planning, study progress and reflection. Our mentors give tips, help prepare for tests, and review homework assignments.
4. Getting started with tutoring done: During every tutoring session, we will go over what we discussed during the previous session and what we will be going over during this session. We cover the new subject matter using the ‘voordoen – samen doen – zelf doen’ methode (‘Showing how to do it – doing it together – doing it by yourself’ method). If needed, we can give take-home assignments.
5. Progress: We understand that you want to know what your child is doing and how they are doing. That is why we have a student-following system, HOMi, where you can check the planner, personal goals, improvement reports, and other agreements. Then, if needed, we will change the course of action. At every branch, there is a branch manager present every day, who is the go-to person to talk to for you, your child, and the school.
6. Evaluating: We evaluate and reflect on each period. Evaluating can be done in a personal conversation with you and your child or over the phone. We discuss if more or less coaching is preferred. If there is a change, we will alter the course of action to ensure your child can continue studying and be motivated and independent.

Primary school tutoring (in Dutch: basisschool bijles)

Primary school children all learn at their own pace. Sometimes children do well in one area but need some extra help in others. Particularly for parents who don’t speak Dutch, it can be hard to help. Lyceo offers primary school tutoring in spelling, comprehension (Dutch: begrijpend lezen) and arithmetic (Dutch: rekenen). Like secondary tutoring, these sessions are one-on-one and adapted to the individual child’s strengths and weaknesses.

Remedial teaching

Remedial teaching offers a solution when learning does not come naturally. We deal with learning disabilities/ disadvantages and try to ensure that your child does not fall further behind. Through a guide, your child will, e.g. learn how to best read and interpret a text, and how to answer the questions belonging to the text. Or, if your child has more difficulty with calculus, we will start with repeating the tables to form a solid basis for this subject. During the remedial teaching process, we will work with your child on technical or comprehensive reading skills, spelling or calculus in a structured manner. Whatever your child needs! The ultimate purpose is to help your child understand and come to terms with their learning disability/ disadvantage, create self-confidence and have them be able to fully participate in class.
