Tutoring and Academic Support

Individualized academic support for students who are struggling, students who want to strengthen specific skills, and students who are ready to move from good to great. Sessions are tailored to each student’s goals, learning profile, assignments, and academic context. Online support is available.

Writing: Support for homework assignments, essays, research papers, college application essays, ACT/SAT essay preparation, undergraduate and graduate-level writing, and personal or creative projects. Writing instruction can focus on idea development, organization, argument, clarity, revision, grammar, style, confidence, and independence. One-on-one classes are also available for homeschool students, gifted students, and students with gaps in prior knowledge.

Reading: Support for students with dyslexia, students who struggle with reading for other reasons, and students who want to strengthen vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, analysis, and critical thinking. Reading work may include strategies for understanding complex texts, building stamina, identifying main ideas, making inferences, annotating effectively, and preparing for the demands of middle school, high school, college, and beyond.

Academic and Executive Functioning Coaching

Practical coaching for students who need stronger systems, strategies, and habits for school and life. This work helps students understand how they learn, manage responsibilities more effectively, and build skills they can use across classes, assignments, and transitions.

Learning Strategies: Support with test taking, study skills, reading comprehension, note-taking, memorization, active recall, assignment planning, and preparation for quizzes, exams, papers, and long-term projects. Students learn how to break academic tasks into manageable steps, choose strategies that fit the situation, and become more confident and independent learners.

Executive Functioning: Support with time management, planning, organization, prioritization, task initiation, focus, follow-through, and managing multi-step assignments. Coaching is ADD/ADHD friendly and can be especially helpful for students who feel overwhelmed, avoidant, inconsistent, or unsure how to get started. Support and advising are also available for college students navigating increased independence.

Educational Therapy

Educational therapy provides individualized support for students with complex learning profiles. It may combine academic instruction, executive functioning support, learning strategy development, parent consultation, and advocacy planning, depending on the student’s needs.

This work can help families understand assessments, identify learning strengths and challenges, design and sequence goals, plan for possible accommodations, and make informed decisions about school support. Educational therapy may be appropriate for students with dyslexia, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, uneven academic skills, anxiety around schoolwork, or other learning differences. Attendance at IEP or 504 meetings is available upon request.

Talks and Workshops

Customized talks and workshops are available for schools, parent groups, educators, organizations, and community settings. Topics can be tailored to the audience and may focus on writing, reading, learning differences, executive functioning, educational therapy, student support, advocacy, or strategies for helping students become more independent learners.

Previous and potential topics include study skills, supporting students with ADHD, understanding dyslexia, helping students develop stronger writing habits, executive functioning at home and school, preparing for college-level work, and practical strategies for parents and educators. Specific workshop topics can be developed in conversation with the organization.
