Academic Tutoring

Subject Tutoring
​
Our one-on-one subject tutoring allows us to create personalized lessons that engage students and challenge them to develop their skill sets and work towards mastery of the subject matter. We assess each student to determine which areas to focus on during the lessons. We build the curriculum around the needs of each student, targeting the most essential areas and skills. We lean heavily on positive reinforcement to motivate and inspire our students, reminding them that they are capable and have the potential to grow and improve. Alongside praise and encouragement, we challenge students to be accountable for their effort and work as we progress. Our goal is to help foster curious, self-motivated learners who are resilient when faced with academic hurdles.

Academic Coaching
​
We provide academic coaching to help students improve their study skills, learn how to study “smarter,” and cultivate a healthier mindset. Students often come to us unprepared to manage their time wisely and adequately prepare for exams. They report sitting down to work but having trouble focusing for extended periods. Parents regularly ask us if we can help their kids learn to study better and get organized. The answer is that we absolutely can help with these sorts of issues. 
​
We can sit down with students and help them set up a study schedule that includes breaks and rewards to help them stay motivated and on task. We will show them how to write all their assignments on a physical or digital calendar. We will discuss the importance of preparing for exams well ahead of time and the dangers of leaving all the studying to the last minute. For students who could benefit from further assistance with planning, initiating, and completing tasks, we offer our Executive Functioning Skills Training, which goes more in-depth on these topics. We have listed more information about this class in our section on neurodivergent learners.
