Yes, when parents ask this question they’re usually referring to study skills including:
- Organization
- Time Management
- Planning
- Note-taking
- Communication
Because every child is unique, our tutors generally find success by helping the student develop and refine the systems that work best for them.
For example, we do not simply hand students a planner and say, “use this,” rather we review different options like Google Calendar, Apple Reminders, and help the student refine the right mix of tools that works for them.
For more learned skills like note-taking and communication, tutors generally leverage the student’s existing coursework to identify current weaknesses and propose corrective measures. Even during summer when there is limited coursework, our tutors can develop personalized assignments to improve note-taking skills.
