1. Executive Function Skills through Metacognition

This class is designed to help students learn about and engage with 10 Executive Function Skills that support students.

As the gold standard for Admission’s testing for Colleges and Universities, the SAT requires, not only, knowledge and familiarity with subject matter, but the use of practiced strategies to maximize time.

7. Individual study and tutoring

Students lose an average of one month of academic-calendar learning each summer some lose as many as 2-3 months worth, contributing to an even more pronounced achievement gap. While some kids do spend time reading over the summer, very few keep up with their math skills and writing skills. With a few structured sessions, you can help make sure your child has a great summer and is ready for the next school year.

• Tutoring can be in person, on line, or a hybrid of both. Cost of tutoring sessions vary.
• Tutoring can be effective in small groups as well.
