Academic Success for Students

Our academic success approach involves one-on-one tutoring for students who need extra help in core and elective subjects. We aspire to help students develop self-confidence, raise self-concept, and reduce anxiety or fear of failure in academic work.

We assist students in achieving a better understanding of specific subject material and in improving academic capabilities in designated areas.

The student, the tutor and the parent each have responsibilities as it pertains to being successful during a tutoring session
