Ready or not, here it comes! The start of a new adventure begins this fall. Are they ready to take on the new academic and emotional challenges that lie ahead?
Our students weathered this turbulent time in education with incredible resilience. Teachers worked tirelessly to ensure material was presented in whatever format they had available and were focused on keeping learning as consistent as possible. Unfortunately, this did limit the opportunities to practice executive function skills. These include problem solving, impulse control, the ability to manage time, focus and organization. Work on these often occurs naturally as a result of being in the classroom and experiencing everyday situations where students need to prioritize, stay organized, remain focused, switch between tasks, and complete work on time.
This lack of opportunity to experience and apply executive functioning skills
is creating a gap that students can easily fall into as they start high school or college.
Are you noticing your son or daughter seems to lack confident in their ability to do well? Maybe they seem over-confident? Are they more unorganized then in previous years? Can they express what their goals are, and do they have a realistic understanding of what it will take to reach them?
At Academic Coaching Specialists, our individualized services are designed to help students not only overcome their challenges, but to learn to grow from them! Our academic coaching and tutoring in Glendale, CA is a great way to provide the support they need now to ensure their success with this next big step.
Tutoring is familiar concept to most. It has been done much the same way for years. Often, it involves another student who does well in a class, trying to explain material to a fellow student who is struggling. Other times, a teacher works one on one with a student or group of students to re-explain or re-teach material from the class. Though students can see some success using these methods, at Academic Coaching Specialists, we take a slightly different approach.
Backed by years of success in education, our design combines study techniques with content support, test taking techniques, and mentorship over a period of time. Our tutors are experienced, modern educators who are experts both in their field and effective teaching methods.

” The program has geared me up for success not only in the classroom but also in life. Having a dedicated plan day in and day out has helped me achieve so much. With the help and guidance from ACS, I was able to graduate college (which I never thought could happen) and have helped me land my dream job right out of college! Thank you ACS!! “
