Learning Lab offers small group and one-on-one tutoring in the following areas:
STUDY SKILLS 5TH- 12TH : Many students need assistance learning how to manage school successfully. This focus will help your child develop skills to manage long term projects and complex assignments, develop test taking strategies, improve note taking skills and generally get better organized. The key is finding the systems and strategies that will work for your child and their particular learning style.
READING K-12: For early readers, I teach word attack strategies necessary for developing fluency and understanding. For intermediate readers, I provide instruction in comprehension strategies which help the student read for information and understand all types of texts. For high school students, I provide tutoring in more advanced skills necessary to analyze and comprehend sophisticated and complex literary and informational texts, and to develop systems to track information as they read.
WRITING K-12: Ideas are often the easy part of writing, it's the organization of those ideas into a fluid and engaging piece that becomes the challenge. I will work with your child to develop ideas, organize their writing, improve their sentence structure and fine tune their word choice. For seniors, I can also help with college essays.
MATHEMATICS K-4: Mastery of concepts is an essential first step toward developing mathematical understanding. This foundational knowledge can then be applied fluently when solving more complex problems. I will assess your child's base conceptual understanding and build on that knowledge to help them attain mastery and to become flexible, effective and efficient problem solvers.
