The Problem
New Heights Educational Group (NHEG) was created on June 1, 2006 and has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception. In exploring home schooling, charter schools, and local public school settings for her children, Mrs. Pamela Clark, Founder/Director, not only found strengths and weaknesses in these systems but she also encountered other families wanting to improve children’s educational experiences. Mrs. Clark discovered that these families were able to help each other, especially in regard to understanding how to teach children with learning difficulties such ADHD, Bi-Polar disorder, Autism, Neurological Disorders, and Processing Disorders. In addition to more successful child-focused learning techniques, families were able to cope with their children’s struggles better because of increased social support. This experience gave credibility to Mrs. Clark’s vision of having a Resource and Literacy Center that would function as a place for families to come for educational help and support. At NHEG, we provide fill-in-the-gap, one-on-one tutoring for youth and adults. All teachers and students are required to meet three hours a week over a three-day period. We found that fill-in-the-gap type tutoring is necessary in order to reach students that have been left behind in traditional settings. Mrs. Pamela Clark has a passion for bettering education and leads a team of over 75 volunteers at NHEG. She constantly researches latest advancements, provides guidance to tutors, monitors evaluations, provides training and resources to teachers for different learning styles. Our hope is to build up our online learning platform and help more families and students achieve goals.
