Hours: By appointment only.

Courses cover persuasive essay, literary response, short story, and personal narrative writing. Classes start with the teacher editing homework as students watch and learn from their own and others’ writing. After a lesson, students start on a new assignment, receiving feedback as they work. Homework runs between one and two hours per week, depending on age.

Reading

Classes begin with a lesson on reading skills. Then the teacher guides group reading with discussions, models vocabulary and comprehension skills, and helps students gain a thorough understanding of the text. Students then have a home reading assignment with vocabulary tracking. We keep the written work small because we believe reading should be enjoyable. Gaining a love for reading is the most important step in becoming a good reader.

Math

In one-on-one classes, the teacher works through the student’s school textbook or our own curriculum, teaching full understanding of concepts, not just steps. Classes move at the student’s pace, and lessons extend to underlying concepts when students struggle. Comprehension for word problems is included, and lessons are aligned with Common Core.

Test Preparation

We teach test taking skills to help with success on the SAT, ACT, CHSPE, SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, and CAHSEE. We also focus on underlying skills in reading, writing, and math, so our instruction leads to long term growth outside of the tests, too.

College Counseling

We help students write thoughtful, profound, and honest essays that make a huge difference when applying to top universities. We also review applications, assisting with school and major selection.
