Transform Learning with a Focus on Executive Functioning
Virtual or In-Person
In our Tailored Academic Tutoring program, we merge our proven expertise in subject-specific tutoring with the transformative power of executive function coaching. Tailored Academic Tutoring is a pioneering approach that combines in-depth academic support with the development of critical executive function skills. Our journey began with a simple realization: many students can grasp academic concepts but struggle to apply them effectively due to challenges with executive functioning.
Executive Function skills enable us to initiate, plan, prioritize, organize, attend, and monitor our behaviors. They also include the ability to think flexibly, hold information in mind, control our impulses and emotions, and maintain our focus and goals. Recognizing this gap, we have created a Tailored Academic Tutoring experience that not only supports your child in their current academic curriculum but also equips them with tools for lifelong learning and success.
Our Unique Approach
Customized Coaching for Every Student: Understanding that each child has a unique cognitive and academic profile, we assess each student, identifying strengths and areas of challenge which provides us with a strong foundation for effective coaching. Our commitment is to ensure that the skills learned are practical and applicable, setting your child on a path to success.
Integrated Coaching: We do not just tutor; we coach. Our sessions are designed to weave executive function skills into the students’ academic curriculum. This integration helps students excel in critical areas such as reading comprehension, written expression, problem-solving, note-taking, and study skills. We teach students how to organize their thoughts, plan their approach, manage their time, regulate their attention and emotions, and execute tasks to completion. We support core courses like English, science, history, and math, ensuring comprehensive academic support.
Skill Building in Context: Our skill-building approach zeroes in on key areas such as organization, time management, and self-regulation. We don’t just teach; we empower students with self-advocacy skills that foster independence, leading to significant academic and personal growth. Whether it is an upcoming project, daily homework, or a long-term assignment, our coaching gets the job done.
Continuous Follow-Up and Support: We believe in the power of partnership and consistent progress. Regular check-ins with parents and students are a cornerstone of our approach, allowing us to adapt our strategies as students evolve and their needs change. We are with you every step of the way, celebrating every achievement and strategizing through every hurdle.
With us, your child is not just another student; they are the next success story waiting to unfold.
