Reading & Study Skills

Study skills that make learning easier

Many students don’t struggle with ability. They struggle with how to read, organize, and study. We teach those skills one-on-one, using your student’s own coursework.

Reading & Study Skills

Always one-on-one

Every program is customized to the student. Call to talk through what your student needs and how we’d approach it.

What the program covers

Four skill areas, adapted to your student’s strengths.

Active reading

Moving beyond passive reading to understanding, questioning, and answering critical-thinking questions about the text.

Organization and time management

Setting deadlines on a calendar or device, budgeting time, estimating how long tasks take, and following through.

Homework management

Scheduling homework around after-school activities and starting with the hardest subject while energy is high.

Building confidence

Learning how to study, much like learning a sport, so difficult material feels more manageable.
