Help YOUR CHILD SUCCEED
IN SCHOOL & LIFE
Each student has unique needs - we understand that. We meet with every new family and student for an hour or more for an extended interview to get to know you and your child. We learn about your child’s goals, personality, likes/dislikes, and more.
Academic achievement is only one factor in a student’s overall success. Unlike traditional, subject-specific tutoring services, our coaches guide and mentor students to develop robust executive functioning skills that allow your child to succeed inside and outside of the classroom. These fundamentals include strong organizational skills, effective time management, well-developed study habits, and proactive communication.
Successful development of these essential skills ensures that our students always stay ahead of their game!
ONE-ON-ONE IN YOUR HOME OR VIRTUALLY
Your child will work with his or her coach at least twice a week. In-person sessions are a minimum of 1-hour; virtual sessions are a minimum of 15-minutes. The precise length of each session will vary depending on the needs and/or the demands of the time of year (e.g., midterms, tests, projects).
We require regular and consistent meetings, at least at the onset of services. In order for students to replace old routines with new routines, consistency is essential. We prefer to meet with students on non-consecutive days and are available 7 days a week. We will work with your schedule in order to support your child. As a result of consistently meeting and building new skills, routines, and confidence progressively, academic work and grades (if grades are a concern) should also improve.
CUSTOMIZED FOR YOUR CHILD
Our coaches work with students in creative ways to help build new neural pathways, routines, and automaticity while supporting their subject matter needs. We also help students learn new ways of understanding, retaining, and retrieving subject matter. For example, if meeting in person, our coach and your child may take a walk and discuss history; turning it into a story and giving visual cues helps a child retrieve individual points in the story later while taking an exam.
