Tailored to Individual Needs

Academic tutoring, even more so than standardized test preparation, is driven by the student. Before beginning a study skills academic tutoring program, our instructors will try to find out:

What are your student's current study habits? Which study habits are (or are not) serving your student? 
Which classes or topics does your student struggle with the most? Which classes or teachers do they enjoy the most, and why? 
What kinds of projects or assignments does your student excel at? Which do they enjoy the most? Which are the most challenging? 

Don’t worry if you (or your student) don’t know the answers to these questions. Our instructors are well-versed in designing a personalized study plan to target improvement areas and reinforce effective study techniques. That said, the more information you and your student can provide about their study skills, the better.
