Personalized and tailored support to help with organization, writing and social studies
What do you need help with?
-
Executive Functioning
Learning the right habits can increase a student’s achievement. I can help your student navigate online classrooms, paper and online materials, schedules and extracurricular activities to ensure they can focus on their academic learning. For students in grades 6-12 or students preparing for standardized tests, I can help organize your materials and the way you think about your work to ensure that you excel. We will contact your teachers, learn to use online and in person support materials and organize your materials so you can show your knowledge.
This type of support may require in person sessions initially to build strong habits and skills and to work most efficiently.
-
Writing
Written expression is a crucial skill and is commonly used as an assessment tool. I can help your student learn strategies to make the process easier and more efficient. While online tools can help students with grammar, the structure of their writing and connection to the their course materials requires human intervention. Students will get personalized graphic organizers, sentence starters and help with readings to ensure they are able to complete their work at their highest level. Often, a review of course content is needed to ensure written expression is clear and analytical.
-
History
History courses require deep content knowledge and skills in order to excel. After 18 years of teaching every content area of history, I can help your student understand complicated texts, lessons and express their knowledge through various assignments. Whether they need help with reading, presentations, discussions, tests or writing, I can help guide your student in their history class. I have recorded lectures on many topics and can help preview content, revise assignments and navigate the requirements of the class.
