For students age 12+, I offer several types of virtual academic support*:

• Homework help for any or all of these subjects

  • • English Language Arts and Literature
      I use my background of college literature coursework alongside my experience in English Language and Literature classrooms to help students grow their skills with comprehension, analysis, discussion, and written response.
      
      

    • Social Studies/History
      When students are given readings or research projects, I can guide them in using proper perspectives, sources, and the language of social studies to engage with the materials.
      
      

    • Math up to High School Geometry
      In the modern-day math classroom, a lot is being demanded of students. Finding the correct answer is not enough, and my sessions will help them get used to processes, talk like mathmeticians, and understand the underlying concepts that they will be expected to know while working with the new math curriculum.
      
      

• Tutoring in academic reading, writing, and notetaking skills
  Sometimes, it isn't the subject that's causing the challenge. Some students just need to know the best way to sift through materials, organize their thoughts, and commit things to memory. I will help them use techniques that are successful and fit their learning style. These skills can transfer into any class with a lecture or reading component.
  
  

• Guidance with study habits, time management skills, and test-taking strategies
  I have met so many smart students who simply didn't know how to, well... be students. Especially in grades 8-12, students are expected to take ownership of their learning and their time management. They will take tests and quizzes no matter how much anxiety they feel. We can work on all these things by introducing strategies, training mindsets, and teaching students to hold themselves accountable.

*For students who are deaf or hard of hearing, virtual academic support can be provided directly in American Sign Language. See all specialized services for deaf and hard of hearing students.

You as a parent may also want support, and that's why I offer additional consultation services available for a variety of topics:
