About WTTS & Areas of Specialization


About Westside Tutoring & Testing ServicesWestside Tutoring & Testing Services offers a dynamic, personalized, one-on-one environment. For the past 34 years, our focus has been primarily directed toward tutoring, mentoring, and coaching students diagnosed with learning difficulties and it remains so today.

Westside Tutoring & Testing Services instills in its students a strong sense of personal and social awareness, respect for differences in and out of the classroom, the need for community involvement, and an intense desire to make a profound and lasting difference in the world: Their world.

Our families have discovered that Westside Tutoring & Testing Services is not only a solid investment in the future, it is also more affordable than the vast majority of “big box” tutoring chains both in the short and long run.

Here is a partial list of the learning difficulties WTTS has helped students and their families overcome:

1) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Includes Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD):

a) Predominantly hyperactive impulse

b) Predominantly inattentive

c) Combined hyperactive-impulsive and inattentive

2) Asperger’s Syndrome: Asperger’s syndrome was folded into the broader category of autism spectrum disorders in the 2013 DSM-5.

3) Dyslexia: A reading-based learning difficulty that is significantly more common than it was once thought to be.

4) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Childhood injuries to veterans coming home after receiving a traumatic injury or injuries to the brain.

5) Dysgraphia: Writing disability. A child often experiences frustration when he or she attempts to express him or herself in writing.

6) Dyscalculia

7) Nonverbal Learning Disorders: NLDs are often extremely difficult to diagnose. The diagnosis of a nonverbal learning disorder may be anecdotal, at least a first; it may be derived after a great deal of time is spent working one-on-one with an otherwise bright and articulate child who may be doing well academically.

8) Aphasia, Dysphasia, Global Aphasia: Child may appear to get tongue-tied often, have difficulty expressing thoughts verbally, etc.

9) Visual Processing Disorder: (more common that many realize)

Westside Tutoring and Testing Services also prepares students for standardized tests (e.g., OGT, PSAT, ACT, SAT, LSAT, GRE, ASVAB & Proficiency Tests).

Westside Tutoring & Testing Services will do everything feasible to help prospective students and their parents find a way to make our kind of support possible.

Some of the strategies we suggest include:

1) Adjusting WTTS tuition so it is payable monthly instead of in lump sum payments.

2) Encouraging students to apply for WTTS Financial Aid.

3) Internships where students learn and earn, making a difference in the lives of others while gaining experience that will have an impact on their lives and on the lives of others.

4) Referring friends and relatives.

If there is a will, there is a way. Westside Tutoring & Testing Services has never knowingly turned away a prospective student if his or her family is unable to pay the full tuition. If a student is willing to work and eager to learn, we will find a way to make it happen.

Note: WTTS works with the young and the not-so-young. Our students range in age from five years old to sixty-five years young. We work with students from every conceivable background: First part-time and later full-time (2008). We love what we do and the students we serve.

Westside Tutoring & Testing Services has specialized in tutoring and mentoring students diagnosed with learning difficulties full-time since 2008 and part-time since 1980. We routinely work with students who have been diagnosed with ADHD (ADD is now subsumed within the ADHD diagnosis by the DSM-5), dyslexia and related reading difficulties, Asperger’s syndrome, auditory and visual processing disorders, and others since 2008 (full-time).

If your child is struggling for the first time or if you have been through several tutors without success, call today for a free consultation and assessment. Your child doesn’t need to struggle any longer. Enrollment is limited, so please call 440-821-7018 (mobile) today.

A Happy New Year’s Day message from the heart to all of you who make up the Westside Tutoring & Testing Family—past, present, and future.

Westside Tutoring & Testing Services (WTTS) specializes in—but we are not limited to—academic tutoring & test preparation for students who struggle with learning difficulties and test anxiety, including ADD/ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome, dyslexia, auditory & visual processing disorders, and more.

Once again, we accept all students, especially those who are seeking to better their performance in the classroom and on the various high school, college/university, and graduate/professional school entrance exams, including the HSPT, ISEE, SSAT, PSAT, SAT, SAT Subject tests, ACT, AP, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, MCAT, and more.

We also help nursing school students prepare for the The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and other licensure and work-related proficiency examinations.

The vast majority of Westside Tutoring & Testing Services students earn excellent grades (As & Bs) and test scores that place them in 90th percentile, many in the 98-99th percentile.

Many WTTS students come to us after trying to master the various entrance exams on their own (with little or no success), and still others come to us after attempting to connect with anywhere from 2 to 7 other tutors—yes, 7 other tutors.

We love what we do and the students we work with. If you are looking for results, then Westside Tutoring & Testing Services can help. Enrollment is limited, so please call ASAP.

Check out our reviews on Google and http://westsidetutoring.com/testimonials

If you are interested, please call Professor Z at 440-821-7018 (mobile) and leave a detailed message, including your name, student’s name, year in school, school, subjects or exam(s) you or your child requires help with, phone number, and the best time to contact you.

Note: We do not pick up while we’re with students, but Professor Z will respond by the end of the day, at the latest.

Rethink. Reimagine. Reinvent. Re-educate.

Life isn’t a static condition. As we run into obstacles along the way, we must apply what I refer to as the 4 “Rs!”

Yes, this advice may seem trite and cliched, but take it from one who’s been there and done that, it is well worth the time and the “trouble” (read: effort).

I once told a mentor and friend that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to school, “because I will be 40 or so when I finish.”

Dave asked me a question that seemed trite and cliched at the time, but, in retrospect, it was exactly what I needed to hear. He asked, “How old will you be in [fill in the blank] years if you don’t?” Then, he paused and followed up with, “And what will you be doing?”

Looking back over the last 3+ decades, it was exactly what I needed to hear, and it was the best advice I have ever received.

Dave’s advice made a profound difference in my life and in the lives of my wife, my children, my grandchildren, and my students (aka “my kids”). I will be forever grateful.

It is never too late to “call a do-over!”

BTW, have you every said, “If I only knew then what I know now....” Well, you do “know” and you do “know it now.” The rest of your life begins today!

Wishing You a Happy, Healthy, and Successful New Year!
