It’s not your imagination. Your student really does not know how to study. And when they do, they will do better in school. It’s that simple.
Our customized tutoring services will teach your student skills, tools, and strategies for learning and studying, as well as how to use and apply these skills across all of their academic subjects. In addition, we will help your student build good study habits that will take them through school, college, and into their careers.
Offering an unsurpassed level of individualized instruction, the key components of our customized tutoring services is to teach your student how to:
- Prioritize, plan, prepare, organize
- Manage time, keep a planner
- Organize and prioritize assignments and materials
- Take notes in class and when reading
- Initiate and complete projects, papers, and assignments, on-task, and on-time
- Study for tests, midterms, and finals

Executive functioning strategies are also taught, including how to:
- Set goals
- Initiate tasks and complete assignments
- Focus and sustain attention
- Self-advocate, problem solve

- Self-evaluate
- Make decisions
Putting into practice and applying these critical skills as it specifically applies to a student’s work, will provide a roadmap to success. Your student will get their work done, learn how to study in the most effective and efficient manner, and create life-long habits, for school, career, and life.
