Whether we are working on a single subject or covering the entire curriculum, we give students the structure, tools, and techniques they need to master the material—and motivate their minds.
Holistic philosophy:
We push students to work smarter and harder, helping them simultaneously absorb information, create organizational systems, and streamline the study process. Our tools and techniques ensure that nightly work feeds directly into future assignments: students take notes with an eye towards essay writing, use homework to create ongoing study guides, and prepare comments and questions for class discussions. Above all, our approach is holistic; by inspecting all elements that affect students’ academic success, we create effective, self-motivated scholars.
Multi-point approach:
Prioritizing nightly work while incorporating note-taking methods that aid in comprehension and critical thinking.
Tackling organizational issues upfront, improving the way the student keeps materials in their desk, computer, and backpack.
Scanning the student’s true comprehension of the material throughout sessions to find areas where they’ve missed essential concepts in the past.
Focusing on the concepts that the student has been lacking until they feel comfortable using them on their own.
Creating structure ahead of time so the student is prepared for what’s to come.
Training students on how to search for and annotate themes and motifs in their humanities work in preparation for big assignments.
Emphasizing how the concepts they are learning currently in math and science will apply to upcoming coursework and new units in the near future and down the road.
Maintaining momentum through constant presence for the student, even when not in a tutoring session.
Promotion of a student’s personal effort to take advantage of their school’s resources (lab periods, teacher meetings, library and web sources) by aiding them in issues related to organization, motivation and/or interpersonal relationships with teachers.
