San Francisco Bay Area,
2017-18 Students in Tri-Valley: Special Offering
Thirty-six percent of American high school graduates are ready for college work. As our schools continue to fail our students, we add to our efforts to prepare students for success in high school and college. For students in the Tri-Valley Area, we teach one-on-one classes in learning and self teaching. Students will have work to do between sessions.
The format of these sessions is based on the latest studies on learning, and retention of knowledge.
Increasingly, our students need to become self-learners, but at the high school level they generally do not know how to adequately study, let alone teach themselves.
The most often heard motto is from learning experts is: "Study smarter, not harder." This means the student learns to study efficiently for the maximum learning and recall, without adding unrealistic expectations of study hours. They learn to accomplish more in the time they spend on each subject, and to understand more about the demands of their courses, and the importance of preparing for college.
Sessions are geared toward general studying efficiency, and specific methods for each academic discipline. The most important components of the College Application, are, in order, grades, test scores and application essays. We offer tutoring in Pleasanton in English writing, math, AP History, AP English, and ACT/SAT Exam preparation. We also offer an ongoing service of Educational Management for those who require professional oversight of their academic career, and help in obtaining their goals.
