Learning & educational support

Learning support: when school is harder than it should be

When a capable child keeps struggling with reading, writing, organisation, or classroom language, we look for the learning pattern underneath.

Talk to us first. It’s freeOr ask about an assessment

Consultation and assessment fees are explained before booking.

Could this be a learning difference?

It may be relevant when a capable child repeatedly struggles to read, write, organise work, follow classroom language, or recover confidence.

What progress can look like

Reading and writing can grow in fits and starts. We put goals in writing and review what is changing about every four months.

Where it runs
Kalyan Nagar, through our behavioural and educational psychologist.
First step
Understand the learning pattern, then decide what support or referral fits.
Cost and place
Kalyan Nagar. Consultation ₹1,000; sessions from ₹900; evaluations from ₹2,000.

This is educational psychology support alongside school. Cornerstone does not currently run a separate special-education department.

Inside learning support

From a piece of school work to a plan that reaches the classroom.

This is educational psychology support through our Kalyan Nagar psychologist, not a dedicated special-education department. The work starts with your child’s real work, not a worksheet of guesses.

  1. Picture cards, a wooden elephant, a handheld mirror and blocks arranged as language materials
    The school work

    Start with what your child actually produces

    Bring a work sample, a report, or the story of homework. How your child reads, spells, writes, and follows instructions shows where the pattern breaks down.

  2. An open notebook, picture cards, pencil and wooden blocks arranged for planning strategies
    The strategies

    Change the teaching, not the child

    Tuition repeats the same teaching, slower. Here the approach itself changes to match how your child learns, and goals are written in plain language.

    The review

    Watch what changes, and say so honestly

    Reading and writing grow in fits and starts. We review what is changing about every four months, and we say plainly when a plan needs to change.

It is

Educational support built around how your child actually learns, delivered at Kalyan Nagar by our behavioural and educational psychologist, covering school readiness, learning strategies, attention, and behaviour.

It isn’t

A separate “special education department.” We’re being plain about that because trust matters more than a full-looking service list. Where a child needs dedicated special-education teaching, we’ll say so and help you find it.

And it isn’t a replacement for school. Your child stays in school; this works alongside it. The bar is the same, and only the path differs.

What we work on

  • Reading.Letters and sounds that won’t stick, words guessed instead of read. “He’s in Class 3 and still can’t read a paragraph.”
  • Writing and spellings.The gap between what your child knows and what reaches the paper.
  • Maths.Concepts that never quite landed, rebuilt from the ground up.

3 more topics to explore

More detail

Listening and following instructions.

The child who switches off in class, not from defiance but because words arrive too fast or too many at once.

More detail

Organising work.

Homework that gets lost, books that come home empty.

More detail

Confidence.

Every child on this list has been told, somehow, that they aren’t good enough.

Who it’s for

School-age children can start with or without a diagnosis when reading, writing, attention, or learning confidence is slipping.

More detail

Who it’s for

School-age children who are struggling with no explanation yet; who have a diagnosis such as dyslexia, ADHD or autism, and need learning support to match; or who lost ground in a hard year and never caught up.

You don’t need a diagnosis to start. If there is one, we use it. If there isn’t, we look at your child. The child in front of us is the real syllabus.

How it works alongside school

With your agreement, we can help you use findings in school conversations; formal liaison is arranged and billed separately.

More detail

How it works alongside school

Where a child needs a plan that reaches the classroom, we help you talk to the school: how to explain what’s going on, what to ask for, and how a professional report changes the conversation. We do this with your agreement, and formal school liaison and coordination is arranged and billed separately from sessions.

Reading and writing grow in fits and starts: some weeks nothing moves, then a whole page clicks. We keep an eye on what’s changing, put goals in writing, and review them openly about once every four months. A short report takes about a week; a detailed evaluation report about two weeks.

Questions parents ask

  • Is a special education teacher involved?

    Not as a separate, dedicated service. At Kalyan Nagar, the educational aspects are covered by our educational psychologist. Depending on what your child needs, we’ll work with you here or point you to the right specialist.

  • Will my child be taken out of regular school?

    No. This works with your child’s school, not instead of it.

  • Is my child “slow”?

    Your child memorises whole film dialogues and negotiates bedtimes like a lawyer. Children struggle at school for many reasons: how they’re taught, how attention works. Labels don’t teach reading.

  • We’ve tried tuition. What’s different?

    Tuition repeats the same teaching, slower. We change the teaching itself, and if an approach doesn’t reach your child, we don’t blame your child.

  • How much does it cost?

    Consultations are ₹1,000; sessions start at ₹900; evaluations start at ₹2,000. Our Fees page shows the structure, and we answer plainly on the phone.
