Terapia Educativa

Focus on 'How' vs 'What'

The primary distinction between educational therapy and tutoring lies in their core focus. Educational therapy concentrates on how a student learns, while tutoring focuses on what a student is learning.

​

Educational Therapy: Empowering the Learning Process

Educational therapy takes a broader, more holistic approach to learning:

• It addresses the underlying learning processes and cognitive skills that impact academic performance

• Educational therapists collaborate with the student, parents, teachers, and other professionals to create a comprehensive support system

• The goal is to help students become more self-aware, self-reliant, and efficient learners

• Educational therapy sessions focus on building fundamental learning skills that can be applied across various subjects and life situations

​

Tutoring: Subject-Specific Support

In contrast, tutoring typically provides more focused, subject-specific assistance:

• Tutors generally concentrate on teaching specific subject matter or helping with particular assignments

• The primary goal of tutoring is often to improve grades and performance in a specific academic area

• Tutoring sessions usually involve re-teaching or clarifying concepts taught in class

​

Long-Term vs Short-Term Approach

Another key difference lies in the duration and scope of the intervention:

• Educational therapy is often a longer-term process, aiming to develop lasting learning strategies and skills

• Tutoring is frequently a short-term solution to address immediate academic challenges or specific subject difficulties
