8 STEPS TO ACADEMIC INDEPENDENCE

The 8 Steps to Academic Independence gives your child the opportunity to fully understand the curriculum skill, and transition into working with the skill on their own and apply it to real life situations while becoming independent learners and thinkers.

J.K. TO GRD. 8

We provide a full on-line day-school and on-line tutoring in all subject areas from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, preparing your child for their High School Years.  

PRE-ASSESSMENT

We Pre-Assess your child on each provincial curriculum skill in the grade and subject area where you feel your child requires support. We then build your child’s program based on the results of the assessment. (JK-Grd.8)

ONTARIO CERTIFIED TEACHERS

We provide each student with Ontario Certified Teachers to work with your child to administer all programming. (JK-Grd.8)

ON-LINE TUTORING

We provide on-line tutoring by an Ontario Certified Teacher in the comfort of your child’s home, using very easy to use web conferencing.  You can record each session for future reference.  We provide each student with Ontario Certified Teachers: One that develops your child’s programming and the other that works with your child to administer the programming. (JK-Grd.8)

NO REGISTRATION FEES

We never charge a registration fee.

MONTH TO MONTH BILLING

We provide convenient monthly payment plans based on the number of hours your child learns with us with no long-term commitment required or any up-front fees for our tutoring plans.  On-Line schooling requires an annual commitment however with offered monthly billing. 

COMPETITIVE RATES

We never request thousands of dollars up-front so that you may secure a lower hourly rate for our tutoring as our hourly rates are already competitive and low for the value you will be receiving. On-line schooling is a much less expensive alternative to brick-and-mortar private schooling but your child receives the same if not better programming and attention.

DETAILED REPORTS

We provide on-going detailed reports on your child’s progress that provide a comparison to when your child began with us, to how they have improved thus far (tutoring).  We provide a Three Term teaching year with detailed Term End Progress Reports.

ON-LINE DAY SCHOOL

We are excited to offer ON-LINE DAY SCHOOL beginning September 2020.  This opportunity is a great alternative to Private Day-School because it provides the same level of (if not better) education for you child.  We can customize learning to your child’s individual needs.  Full class sessions are the daily norm, but your child has the opportunity to extend their learning one-on-one or in a small group of no more than three, during weekly support hours at no additional cost. All Ontario Curriculum subjects are taught through the same daily schedule of a brick-and-mortar school but completed in the comfort of the child’s home. 

The school offers many ways to get the kids to interact with each other, and providing social interaction opportunities and excursions.  

How We Do it

By Following the Star Students On-Line Tutoring Program Instructional Path

Star Students On-Line Learning  has developed a unique Instructional Path for its tutoring programs, that checks-in with you and your child along the way to ensure you and your child are happy with the program. Your child is held accountable for their learning and successfully showcases their accomplishments of their defined learning opportunities.

Star Students On-Line Learning conducts a Pre-Assessment that directly assesses against the provincial curriculum. (JK-Grd.8). This Pre-Assessment determines your child’s grade level and reveals your child’s learning opportunities, and allows Star Students On-Line Learning to develop your child’s programming with us.

Star Students On-Line Learning never repeats the Pre-Assessment. Our Check-Point Assessments assess exactly what your child has covered in their program to date, and we ensure your child is more than ready for each Check-Point Assessment by conducting review sessions as part of the Star Students On-Line Learning program.

Star Students On-Line Learning provides detailed reports on your child’s progress, as well as for each Check-Point Assessment, so that we are continuously discovering your child’s learning opportunities and providing instruction that absolutely adheres to their specific and changing needs.

Approaching the completion of the program, we review with your child all program skills covered. Your child then showcases their knowledge through a last Check-Point Assessment. From this assessment we develop one final detailed report representing your child’s accomplishments and suggested next steps.

Please Contact Us. We will be more than happy to provide a complimentary consultation and discuss the Star Students On-Line Learning Program Instructional Path and how it will take your child through a process of learning that develops them into successful, independent learners.

Reading is an imperative skill that is the foundation of success in school and in life. How can your child solve a math problem if they cannot read and understand it? How can your child choose their favourite brand or flavour of cereal if they cannot read the box? Reading is an involved process with 5 components:

  • Phonics
  • Phonemic Awareness

Each builds from the previous and each component is imperative to fulfill the entire experience of reading.

Each step of the writing process must be conducted in order to create a written piece that easily communicates to the audience the writer’s intended message.

Star Students On-Line Learning has math programs specifically catered to the revised curriculum. 
 
Math we may not realize is everywhere. Jenny has 8 candies but her mother told her to give 1/2 of them to her friends so how many candies does she need to give away? Louis has $3.50 and really wants that puzzle book but it costs $4.25 so how much more money does he need to purchase the puzzle book? Math happens in real life when kids may not realize. The basics are crucial foundations for basic math needs in the world and to be used as a foundation for more complex maths and sciences in high school. If your child is expressing the desire to become an astronomer, meteorologist, animator, game designer, sports announcer, pilot or even a roller coaster designer – they all require math skills and more complex math skills, that come from the basic foundations of math as taught in the elementary and intermediate school years. The provincial math curriculum to grade 8 undertakes 5 strands, each with its own set of skills:

  1. Number Sense and Numeration
  2. Measurement
  3. Geometry and Spatial Sense
  4. Patterning and Algebra
  5. Data Management and Probability

About Our Founder   

Alexandra Stabins is the president and founder of Star Students On-Line Learning. 

Alexandra believes that your child deserves the opportunity to learn, and to receive the support he or she needs to succeed at learning. Alexandra knows that a uniform way of teaching does not benefit every child as every child is a unique learner, therefore every child requires a unique teaching process. Though Star Students On-Line Learning does work with an “8 Step” learning process, Star Students On-Line Learning adjusts the process based on the needs of your child so that he or she becomes a successful learner.

Alexandra has worked with and researched major tutoring companies, and has observed practices that don’t meet her high standard of delivering education. Alexandra has gathered parent feedback and testimonials and decided that  an in-home learning atmosphere provides each child with focused instruction, through an effective learning process that develops a child’s learning at their own pace in the comfort of their own home.

Alexandra has made certain that Star Students On-Line Learning is not a traditional tutoring service. Star Students On-Line Learning does not supplement learning – Star Students On-Line Learning works with your child so that they develop the foundations to support their continued learning, and develop the knowledge and skills to become independent learners and thinkers.

Alexandra’s credentials include a M.Sc.Ed. with a Concentration in Mathematics and a B.A. in English, and well over 15 years in professional roles that have allowed her to develop a strong business acumen and an educational business model for Star Students On-Line Learning that aims to provide every child with the opportunity for educational success. Learning must not be a privilege, but a right each child has, and Star Students On-Line Learning wants to give each child that access and we will work with you to ensure that takes place.

Please Contact Us. We will be more than happy to provide a complimentary consultation and discuss with you Star Students’ best practices for ensuring your child’s success in the classroom and beyond.
