1. Analysis + Evaluation
We have extensive evaluation tools and processes to help pinpoint a student’s challenges as well as the strengths on which we can build. Then we evaluate the learning gaps caused over time and outline personalized strategies to address them. We will request you to fill out an intake form with a copy of your transcript.
2. Goal Setting
Our unique process begins with a goal-setting session. When a student can articulate and embrace his/her goals, regardless of their size or importance, they become much easier to attain.
3. Personalized Planning
We create a personalized roadmap for you, including a college roadmap and timeline to reach your goals. We will guide you through every planned step, possible breakdowns & potholes, unexpected detours, and scenic routes along the way.
4. Monitoring + Feedback
We coach your students through the process as planned. We provide a written feedback after every session, and we become your “accountability partner” to maximize support and motivation for your student.
