The Brainstrong Process for Middle and High School/Upper School Students

Academic Coaching from our tutors is more than a tutoring service. It is a holistic process where we work with individual students and help them meet their learning needs in their classes while teaching them the logic that will prepare to be experts in the fields of their choosing. Academic Coaching includes support for students with language based learning disabilities, like dyslexia, and executive functioning issues such as ADHD and anxiety.

 

Our process improves students' executive functioning and helps them achieve academic success in middle school and upper/high school and prepare them for success in college.

 

We additionally offer writing support and instruction to prepare high school students for the rigors of college level academic research writing, a type of writing  not taught in high schools or uppers schools but college professors expect it of their students.​​
