Academic Coaches and Tutors are our Specialty! We Help Teens with School in McKinney, Tx
Every week, students face uncertainty. Projects, papers, tests-these all determine a grade in a course that can ultimately help or hinder their progress in school. The mounting pressure to do well can cause some students to withdraw or shut down. We are here to walk along with them, helping them navigate the multiple demands on their time, create a workable plan, and organize their materials for success.

No more surprise assignments or missed due dates.

TUTORING
If your high school student is stressed with their demanding course load or needs help getting back on top of a challenging subject, give us a call.
It has been proven many times over that staying on top is significantly easier than digging out once behind. Tutoring and coaching services can help students dig out faster if behind, but more importantly, they can help teach them the skills and techniques necessary to keep them on top once they get there.
Strategies that focus on incremental goal achievement and proactive planning are unique to our program and are what differentiates us from the competition. With an ACS coach, your teen can learn how to actively get organized and what it takes to stay that way. We joke that we have a “bad business model” in that our goal is to teach students how NOT to need us! We move our students from a healthy interdependence, understanding how to utilize resources and advocate for their needs, to a independence that can turn into leadership. Let us show you how we can get your teen there.

” 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!! “
