In accordance with our holistic approach to tutoring, we approach subject tutoring from many angles. In addition to teaching subject material, we assist students with organization, time management, and study skills. We also help students develop personal initiative and extracurricular involvement.

Tutoring in All Subject Areas

• Any Subject in Elementary or Middle School
• High School English and Social Studies, including A.P.

Strengthening Organizational & Time Management Skills

A common impediment for students is the inability to successfully organize assignments, establish priorities, and budget time. We help students improve their capacity to manage their responsibilities.The ability to control the process, rather than being controlled by it, is often a key to success. We utilize numerous strategies to help students learn techniques for goal-setting, time management, memorization, and improved note and test taking.

Working with Learning Disabilities

Many students are forced to overcome the obstacles presented by learning disabilities, such as ADD or dyslexia. We help students find renewed enthusiasm for learning by assisting them in developing successful strategies for coping with ADD and other learning disabilities. We foster greater self-discipline through goal-setting and by teaching the skills necessary to properly budget time. We teach a variety of test-preparation and test-taking strategies. We show students how improve their writing skills by developing an appreciation of the writing process. The end results are better study habits, improved grades, and increased confidence.

Developing Personal Initiative & Extracurricular Involvement

Many students feel inhibited in their capacity to advocate for themselves and to communicate effectively with others. Inevitably, this leads to missed opportunities and poor academic performance.

We help individuals overcome their fears, improve their social communication skills, and obtain greater scholastic achievement. We show them how to seek out resources and network within the school community. We encourage development of personal interest and participation within student organizations and afterschool activities. We assist students with the development of better problem-solving and decision-making capabilities. Additionally, we coach them to enhance the critical skills of accountability, initiative, and leadership.

Improving Reading Skills

The inability to read proficiently can have a detrimental impact on academic performance. Feelings of frustration and failure can seriously impede a student’s enthusiasm and motivation to learn. We are deeply committed to creating safe and comfortable relationships with students that facilitate the improvement of their reading skills. Utilizing a broad range of strategies, we help students to develop the confidence and proficiency they need in their reading in order to succeed.

GED Preparation

Statistics reveal that individuals who complete high school or attain a GED will enjoy greater income potential and have more opportunities for career advancement throughout their lifetimes. We work with students of all ages to help them successfully pass the GED exam in order to achieve their future dreams.
