No. Educational therapy and tutoring are very different.
The primary focus of tutoring is academic content - the WHAT. Tutors help with homework, test prep, and class materials. It can be useful for students who may need some reinforcement but do not have underlying learning difficulties.
The primary focus of educational therapy is on HOW to learn rather than WHAT to learn. Educational therapists address underlying learning challenges, cognitive functions, and perceptual skills. Therapists teach learning strategies, not just content, so that learners build attention, self-regulation, working memory, processing speed, organization, planning, reading, writing, spelling, math, and emotional factors (anxiety, self-confidence, perseverance, grit, etc.). Ed therapy bridges education, psychology, and therapy.
Educational therapy focuses on the root causes of learning difficulties, while tutoring does not.
A tutor says, "Let's get this assignment done."
An educational therapist asks, "Why is this hard - and how can we fix that?"
Educational therapy restructures the architecture of the brain, and when brain structure changes, brain function changes too.
