Programs Offered
A brief overview of programs we offer. If none of these fits your needs, feel free to reach out to see if we can design and build a customized program that does!
The focus of each program is customized to the unique needs of the individual. We help identify what is going on or isn’t quite clicking, and create a personalized program that’s best for the student based on the program placement consultation. Our unique services design programs that incorporate varying elements of course management (& tutoring), test prep, executive functioning skills, higher education guidance, academic consulting, and more.
SAT/ACT Prep Courses & Study Plans
Standardized testing can feel difficult, overwhelming, and even insurmountable at times. There are key ways to leverage studying and hard work to make preparing for these tests less painful. I create customized programs to accelerate learning by using targeted practice with intermittent assessment data to further target study plans for students. Additionally, I help students break down their goals, often based on possible desired schools, to achieve the scores they need. Study plans are designed for each student based on his or her goals, target schools/programs, and current standing. Self studying is great, but a program is often very helpful in creating structure for students to achieve goals more efficiently, while necessitating that time be blocked in their schedule dedicated to studying. Study Plans can be designed for most standardized tests including, but not limited to: SAT/PSAT, ACT, MCAT, GRE, LSAT, GMAT, NCLEX, and PAX.
Course Management / Subject Tutoring
Services are available to help with course management, organization, and planning. A common adjunct service is subject tutoring (available for most subjects). When course management/subject tutoring is requested, all requests are looked at on an individual basis. After initial evaluation, a customized program will then be created for the student based on their needs and current standing in the course.
Please note: For all paper or essay writing related assignments, students should come with a rough draft. For students who struggle to form rough drafts, workshops are available where students go through the outline process followed by brainstorming for and writing a sample paragraph. Writing full essays or papers in a session is often draining and not the most productive way to spend tutoring time. It’s often best to get initial thoughts on paper, and use feedback to reorganize and edit those thoughts. These are different programs, and if interested in English or writing tutoring, please note on your application form what your student’s specific obstacles or challenges are.
Performance Elevation Program
This program follows an outlined curriculum, with several modules customized to each student’s individual concerns, stressors, and goals. The aim of the program is to teach students how to better manage their life commitments and the accompanying stress. As our world speeds up, students take on more and feel less fulfilled and more overwhelmed, especially as they approach adulthood. The aim of this program is to help students orient their compass in a good direction and learn how to maintain the course. The vision is to help create more balanced young adults who can maintain their weekly commitments with improved results and more fulfillment, while helping them learn stress management.
Lifelong Learner Program
The lifelong learner program is designed to help students maintain an attitude of learning and growth throughout their lives. Traditional K-12 and higher education often teaches students that learning is a task to be completed, while acquiring the right answers, rather than a process. This program is designed to help students ask the right questions, discover a passion for learning, and help students figure out their purpose. Studies show that a growth mindset is a key component of fulfilled, successful adults. Furthermore, people who learn to continually grow have more career success and are better problem solvers. Teaching your student at a young age that learning/education is highly valuable will help your student reach their greatest potential and achieve their dreams.
College Admission Consulting & Application Guidance
The journey of applying to college can feel daunting, confusing, and challenging. Knowing this, I provide tools and feedback throughout the process of choosing and applying to schools. I aim to act as a guide and mentor using my depth of knowledge, experience, and expertise to make the process feel less stressful and flow more smoothly. Additionally, I assist students with presenting themselves to the best of their ability on their application.
Parent/Family Coaching
This customized program works with parents and students to help students be more successful. We offer coaching with parents (and any other pertinent members of the family) and students to help create an successful environment. Family coaching involves working with students to identify and help build a framework to achieve those goals, while including parents in the process and helping them create an environment that supports their student while supporting growth and minimizing arguments and strife.
Summer Programs
Here are some of our summer program offerings. We can also build a customized program to meet your students' individual goals/needs.
Enrichment Programs
Enrichment and accelerated programs are available to help challenge students to reach higher mastery of material and learn advanced material by getting early exposure/practice.
Bridge Programs
Bridge programs are designed to help students retain their knowledge from the previous school year. They are designed to make the transition back to school less painful, and help reinforce long-term understanding of subject material. Regular weekly lessons help students keep their knowledge and come back to school in the fall feeling more confident and prepared.
Reading Programs
Reading programs are designed to give students structure during the summer to reinforce the habit of reading. Lifelong reading is one of the best learning habits a student can have. Having structure and curriculum can help reinforce this habit before the adult years.
