Explore What We Teach
Pre-School
Our Pre-School tutors lay the groundwork for lifelong learning:
- Early reading/literacy development: letters, sounds, rhyming, and listening to stories, print awareness
- Early math: counting, numbers to 10, and simple shapes, sorting, patterns, and comparing
- Pre-writing: building hand strength with play (playdough, tweezers, building) and early writing strokes and shapes
Elementary School Tutoring (K–5)
Our elementary tutors build strong foundations in:
- Reading and writing: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, with reading and writing integrated into the session.
- Written expression: formal sentence structure, grammar, and paragraph writing in both fiction and nonfiction pieces.
- Responding to text: explicit instruction in the RACE method (restate, answer, cite evidence, explain) for verbal and written responses.
- Math: conceptual understanding using hands‑on manipulatives, visual models, and games to strengthen number sense and problem‑solving confidence.
Middle School Tutoring (6–8)
Middle school sessions extend earlier skills with greater rigor and independence:
- Advanced reading and writing: all elementary skills applied to more complex, grade‑level, and above‑grade‑level texts.
- Analytical writing: multi‑paragraph responses, text‑based evidence, and clear structure across content areas.
- Executive functioning may include: organization systems, planning for long‑term assignments, breaking down projects, and developing productive study routines.
High School Tutoring (9–12)
High school tutoring supports both daily coursework and long‑term readiness for college and careers:
- Content‑area support: Math I–IV, English, History, Science, and World Languages (Spanish and French). AP course tutoring in all content areas.
- Advanced literacy skills: critical thinking, close reading of complex texts, and writing that includes crafting clear arguments and synthesizing information from multiple sources.
- Executive functioning and study skills: managing the full writing process from brainstorming to final revision, building organization and time‑management systems, and strengthening note‑taking and test‑prep strategies to prepare for the next stage of life.
