PictureSummer is a great time for struggling students to get caught up, plan ahead, or try something new!
Summer is a great time to relax, but students with learning differences can use the break to make progress in a variety of learning areas. 

1. Ace Your Learning Gap: Academic Coaching and Tutoring

Is your student scholastically disoriented due to the pandemic, or prone to the summer slide? Summer break is an ideal time for struggling students to get the help they need to bolster lagging academic skills, get a jump on fall semester concepts, or make summer school a success. 

2. Ace Your Mindset: Experiential Research - for Middle and High School Students 

A coach or mentor can guide a learner to use hands-on methods to pursue a research idea or project that highlights the student’s interests, encourages experimentation, celebrates innovation, and provides structure needed for completion. This can be the “secret sauce” that allows a student to view themselves as someone who can succeed in an academic environment. Click here to learn how your struggling student can use their summer to develop independent projects as a way of engaging experiential learning. 

3. Supercharge Your College Application: Experiential Research & Portfolio - for Rising Seniors

Students with learning differences may struggle with standardized testing, or lack a competitive GPA. College applicants must position themselves to stand out from other candidates. An online portfolio that chronicles independent research is a unique compliment to a college application. Documenting an original project in a portfolio differentiates students from other college applicants.

4. Ace Your Essay: Writing Coaching for All Ages & College Essay Coaching

  • Does your middle or high school student always lose points on essays? Help them learn what teachers expect, make friends with the outline, and articulate ideas with confidence. 
  • Does your rising senior plan to wait until fall to write college essays? Summer is a stress free moment to begin the college search and write unforgettable personal statements.
  • College and graduate students who struggle with organization can learn to write essays and dissertations with clear and structured arguments. 

5. Ace Your College Transition: Independence and Life Skills Development 

Does your teenage or adult student rely on adults to wake them for class, locate their homework, or track their medication schedule? Do they need reminders to do laundry, eat balanced nutrition, or remember appointments? Help a rising senior or high school graduate learn greater independence, organization and planning before heading off to college.

Secret Sauce to Improve a Struggling Student's Confidence

Make learning relevant for a struggling student by helping them research and explore a topic of interest.
Does your struggling middle or high school student find school boring, fail to see academics as relevant, glaze over during lectures, tune out theoretical and abstract info, or complain that none of their assignments feel possible?

Students with learning differences may get frustrated when learning is packaged in formats that are a mismatch for that student. Scholastic achievement may go undetected and unrecognized, giving the student an incorrect, repeating message that they are not cut out for academic settings. 

Traditional approaches to academic coaching have mixed results when students don’t formulate a connection between tools they are given and how they can apply them in new learning scenarios. Fortunately, experiential learning via a topic of interest can revitalize a learner’s engagement.

​With support, students can leverage their passion for a favorite topic to fuel exploration of a research project of their choosing. Solving hands-on problems using a variety of analytical, creative, and communication skills helps students strengthen academic capabilities, which can later translate to improved focus and performance in school setting. Experiencing mastery bolsters a student’s image of themselves as a learner who is able to achieve something concrete, original, and systematically organized.

    Who Am I?
    Why Do I Care?

    I was diagnosed with ADHD as an adult. As a young person, I could have used someone like me to get help navigating academics and life transitions. While I didn't have the benefit of a coach who understood learning differences, this blog allows me to ideally put my hard won insights to good use helping others.
