Students face many challenges in today’s world. There are the academic and social pressures that parents may be familiar with, but these are further exacerbated by social media, rapidly changing societal norms, learning gaps caused by virtual schooling, high-stakes standardized testing, and so much more. Many students struggle in school; some even refuse to go to school entirely. Our multidisciplinary approach allows us to provide relief for the immediate symptoms and address the deeper root causes at the same time.

Specific, targeted help for individualized goals

  • Inventory current & future courses.

  • Identify strengths, weaknesses, potential learning gaps.

  • Make customized plans to catch up & get ahead.

  • 1:1 prep for tests, finals, AP exams, SATs, college essay writing, etc.

Supporting overall student success

  • Organization, planning, test taking strategies.

  • Executive functioning.

  • Managing stress & anxiety, mindfulness.

  • Communicating with peers, teachers, and parents.

  • Navigating the college application process.

  • + More.
