How does PACE differ from academic tutoring?
PACE tackles the cause rather than the effect. If the reason for learning difficulties is poor instruction, then academic tutoring is the correct solution. But, if there is a deficient underlying learning skill, then academic tutoring is only a stop-gap or band-aid solution and will need to be repeated year after year. PACE, on the other hand, “cures” the cause. It is simply the difference between giving them fish to eat (tutoring), and teaching them to fish so they can feed themselves (PACE —by giving them the learning skills to become self-learning).
