During The School Year

Academic Tutoring + Executive Skills Coaching

For students seeking support through the school year in both academic and executive skill areas. Each student's program is tailored to strike the correct balance between academic and executive skill support. Academic support blends homework completion, test and quiz preparation, long-term project management, study strategies, and all executive skill areas including planning, organization, time-management, and prioritization skills. 

Executive Skills Coaching​

For students who need intensive executive skill support and minimal academic tutoring. We coach students to strengthen executive skill areas such as planning, organization, time-management, and prioritizing of work. We teach these skills in the meaningful context of the student's actual homework, helping them to develop and execute a plan of action. Students will achieve better grades and reduced homework anxiety. These skills are paramount to success across multiple environments including college, the work place, and daily life. 

Academic Enrichment

For students who would like to go beyond what is being taught in class or simply improve specific content knowledge. We provide academic tutoring that enriches classroom instruction and prepares students for what's ahead. Each program is unique and depends on the student's current mastery level, progression goals, and production rate. We also help students of all ages fill foundational gaps in reading, writing, and math by developing personalized programs with tailored sequencing and materials. 

Custom Reading Programs and Phonemic Awareness

For emerging readers. We help to improve fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and spelling by drawing from a number of reading instruction resources. We have staff members trained in Orton-Gillingham's multisensory approach to phonemic awareness. We have years of experience working with students with dyslexia and other reading disorders. Each student's program is built to strengthen the areas that are keeping them behind.
