Students receive assistance with their teacher-assigned curriculum through mini-lessons and guided practice based on individual needs and assignments. Content support sessions are typically used for students who struggle with course material, but they are also extremely beneficial to students who clash with their classroom teacher. It is important that students have their current assignments, supplemental handouts, and questions about the work ready in order to maximize the value of the tutorial session.
Individually-tailored sessions are crafted based on the needs of the student in order to help them reach their full potential. Supplemental instruction sessions can be used to fill learning gaps during the school year, to help prepare students for upcoming courses, or to reteach courses in which students struggled.
Test-specific preparation programs address the specific content as well as test-taking strategies for a variety of tests: STAAR, SAT, ACT, and GRE to name a few. Instruction includes mini-lessons, notes, and guided practice.
Project support programs are individually-tailored and provide guidance in all aspects of the project: time-management, assignment chunking, scheduling, analyzing assignment requirements, etc. Sessions can be used for summer reading assignments, Project-Based Learning assignments, and other long-term projects.
These programs are available throughout the year and group sessions are encouraged.
Students will learn how to maintain a daily planner and use it to assist them with time and assignment management. We will review what has been assigned, evaluate assignment requirements and deadlines, and create a prioritized work schedule in Google Docs. It is suggested that students maintain a physical daily planner book as well.
Can be scheduled as often as needed.
