Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why do you only have one location?
We are extremely relational and highly customized in everything we do. This could only happen in a small, balanced teacher to student ratio, and may help explain our decision to keep LLC small.
How do we get started?
Contact Lindner Learning Center at 317-842-8628, ext #1 for initial information.
Is the scheduling flexible?
Absolutely! Each student receives individual attention and a customized plan for academic success. Every student in our facility is taking different courses, has a different schedule, and a different agenda in terms of goals and completion time.
Do you have licensed teachers on staff?
Yes. With the exception of an occasional staff member who specializes in a specific subject area, our staff is composed of fully-licensed teachers who are trained in working with students who have learning differences. Each tutor in our school program has served an internship in our evening tutoring program and is fully aware of the needs of students with learning differences.
Do you assign homework?
No. One of the benefits of this program is that we have a no homework policy.

Academy Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can high school classes taken over the summer transfer into my son or daughter’s high school?
Yes. Before we enroll a student in the course we will verify that your son or daughter’s high school will accept the transfer credit.
How long does it take to complete a course?
All courses require different time frames, and all students work at a different pace. However, as a general rule, if a course is being completed during a regular semester time frame, each course takes approximately four to six hours per class per week of tutoring time. If a course is being taken through our summer academy, a nine-week session, courses may be more intensive.
Is the course work completed in a one-on-one fashion?
Yes. We will match your student with the best possible teacher for the subject area in which your student is working.
If my student enrolls in the school, does he/she have to do all his/her schooling with you?
We do offer a full-time school program for middle school and high school. However, we will try to work with any school system to try to incorporate LLC into your student’s traditional school day or to allow him or her to take additional school credits with us. This allows students the ability to maintain work and socialization at their traditional schools, while taking some of their more demanding courses with us.
Can you incorporate other programs such as Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes® and/or Orton Gillingham into my student’s school day?
Our staff is completely trained in working with students who have learning differences and require unique learning interventions. We can absolutely address not only the academic piece, but also any additional learning needs or skill development during your student’s school day.

Tutoring/Summer Academy Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does your center compare to other tutoring options?
We know we just MAY be biased, but several options set us apart (and above!) other tutorial services. We hand-select, thoroughly train and mentor our amazing teachers. We utilize preferred methodologies to address specific learning weaknesses, YET TOO, our program allows for utilization of several techniques so as we learn how your child best learns, we can flex programs and presentation for optimal growth and success!
Is one weekly session an option?
We do require a minimum twice weekly session. Mondays are scheduled with Wednesdays and Tuesdays are scheduled with Thursdays. Friday hours are available from 8:00-3:00. Students can attend 2-5 days a week depending on learning profile and preference. Sessions are 55 minutes each and can be scheduled consecutively if a more intensive presentation is needed. It is a strong recommendation, as academic stressors are eliminated, to utilize our 10-week Summer Academy for a more intensive presentation (increasing hours/week).
Do I need private remediation for my student if he/she is receiving services at school?
Many of our students receive support services throughout his/her school day, but require more intensive remediation outside of what the school is able to offer. We are committed to a partnership with your child's school to provide a holistic spectrum of educational support and remediation.
Do you offer evaluations?
We do not. Many of our families are referred to us after a full battery of psycho-educational testing. We utilize that data to develop the best plan for success! We LOVE having the outside accountability of our referring specialists whom see us advancing a student's learning! Should you not have testing, we often can determine initial goals via parental/teacher feedback and observations. . . and certainly can recommend specific psychologists should further data be helpful.
How do we measure progress/success?
Our teachers keep meticulous session notes and many of our techniques are sequential and "trackable" in nature. Too, we love that parents know their student is progressing because they are reading (or writing or spelling or calculating) with better success and efficiency! We LOVE changing the quality of life for students!
How long are students typically in your program?
Of COURSE many factors determine duration of tutoring. On average, students are with us for approximately one and a half years (2-4 hours/week for remediation). That said, we have some students with us a bit shorter in duration and many families that continue on for academic support!
How do cancellations work?
All year round, to be eligible for make-ups, families need to let our center know 24-hours in advance. Additionally, during our Summer Academy, eligible make-ups are limited to one week's worth of sessions with notification by June 30.
