For most parents with students in high school, SAT/ACT test prep, mathematics, science, and STAAR prep are the areas that pose the biggest concern. High school students also tend to struggle with time management, study skills, organization, and procrastination as their class workloads increase and become more challenging than their middle school courses. High school students are also required to engage in more research-based papers and assignments revolving around writing, making it is essential for high school students to master these skills prior to entering college.
OUR PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS:
Our high school tutoring team follows our main philosophy and mission for all of our programs: to assist their students until they are satisfied that the education objective has been achieved.
WHERE WE START:
With an evaluation of the student’s strengths beginning at their current grade level.
WHEN & HOW EVALUATIONS OCCUR:
Evaluations occur at the student’s first session. Specific evaluations are designed by the Education Director and Tutor assigned to work with your student. It is our policy, however, to avoid unnecessary testing as well as the expense of testing. Before the student’s evaluation, please send our office any pertinent information that may assist in establishing a tutoring program (report cards, STAAR results, IEPs, etc.).
WE COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR STUDENT’S TEACHER(S):
With parental consent, the Education Director and your student’s tutor(s) are able to directly coordinate our customized learning plan for your student with that of their classroom teachers! All we need is a signed parental consent form.
WORKING WITH OUR TEAM, SCHEDULING, & STUDENT/PARENT COMMITMENT:
Tutor Assignments: The Education Director selects the most qualified tutors for your student based on scheduling availability, as well as factoring in specific requests and personalities.
Scheduling: High school students are encouraged to attend at least one or two hour-long sessions per week for the best learning outcomes.
