Many of these programs use tutors (often college kids with minimal training) that administer canned programs. While the program itself is research-based and may be very good, much of your child's success really depends on the tutor.

LMB, for example, pays their college tutors less than $20/hour, but charges almost 5x that much. So you are not paying for the quality of the tutor, but for the LMB brand.

IMO, you are better off finding an individual tutor (not someone affiliated with a service) because the agency will take a huge cut from what they are charging...and you often end up with tutors with little and/or poor training.

Wouldn't bother with the Learning Rx. LMB is good and you don't have to go through the center for tutoring. You can find an independent tutor trained in the Linda Mood Bell method.

So true!
