Planning & Organizing

I focus on providing students with the tools and strategies they need to manage their time effectively, prioritize their tasks, and achieve their academic goals. I’ll help your child create a weekly homework schedule, which outlines all the tasks that need to be completed and sets specific deadlines for each task.

In addition to these practical strategies, I’ll work with students to develop study skills and techniques for memorization, test-taking, and time-management. I provide guidance on how to break down complex assignments into manageable tasks, and how to stay motivated and focused when working on long-term projects.
