Language Arts Tutoring
Tutoring for language arts with a focus on kindergarten-12. For this, students bring in their homework and we work on it together for a deeper understanding. Students learn new and different strategies for reading comprehension and writing. School assigned novels are read with your child to evaluate their comprehension.
Standardized Test Preparation
Practice and Preparation for the Verbal and Essay sections of the SSAT/ISEE, SAT, and ACT.
Your child will learn interview skills and identify their own positive characteristics so they are ready for their interviews to showcase their best self. They also explore potential schools and what the schools have to offer so students are excited to take classes, join clubs, and participate in the traditions of that school.

College Planning & Admission
Tutoring services are not just for language arts tutoring!
At the end of 11th grade, your child begins our unique curriculum for self discovery and reflection to create a solid sense of self for their personal statement. Students use this self exploration to navigate narrative writing for the college admissions essays.
Students also complete a College Scavenger Hunt to identify answers to questions like the difference between public and private schools, enrollment and the size of the university, to the Mission and Vision Statements of potential schools. This information helps with the fear and struggle of applying to college and understanding how different it is from the high school experience.
Students are led step by step through the process of searching for possible majors, university and college contenders, and beginning their applications to consultation of admissions essays and meeting deadlines.

Career Planning & Investigation
The College and Career Planning unit is geared for 9th grade and up.
This personalized curriculum looks at the total package of life after high school. Sometimes as a student, all we know is to study and get good grades. But, many students don’t see it as a means, but rather the end. My Career Investigation curriculum shows students that high school is just the beginning of the adventure. We backwards map to explore careers and industries of interest to gain an understanding of potential careers, “dream schools”, and, lastly, classes, clubs, and electives to take in high school to prepare us for that trajectory. Even if that career changes ten times throughout the years, students have completed this once through and know how to adjust and pivot.
Students also develop an understanding of how their choices in education will impact their future as we cover personal finance topics like compound interest, budgeting, and predicted income.
