Educational Services

Academic Solutions

Our academic services include both academic skills and non-academic support skills, and are customized for your child. We specialize in working with individuals who learn differently - those who have special needs, Autism, learning disabilities or who really need a specific and customized solution.

Sessions are conducted onsite at our facility in Spring Branch, or in your home. Sessions consist of a variety of learning activities designed to achieve our agreed upon goals. The cost of individual student curriculum is the responsibility of the parent, in addition to the session cost. All curriculum costs are shared and agreed upon prior to beginning tutoring.

Academic Remediation

When it comes to teaching, our educators understand that there may be a need for academic remediation. At a basic level, remediation means "To Teach Again" with content that children may not have passed or understood the first time. As our educators recognize the main signs of lack of understanding of the material, we will refocus to below grade level materials before grade-level learning. 

Remediation is also often guided by formative assessment, whether formal or informal, to gather enough insight to recognize the significant breakdown in what they child is learning.

Academic Intervention

If your child is struggling with their learning, our school is equipped to provide an academic intervention. Although the name sounds extreme, rest assured that this is only required when extra help is needed. Our instructional interventions will be set up in a way to help track your child's progress. 

Some Interventions Include: 

• Flexible: If your child is struggling, our team can have more instruction time each week OR provide more one-on-one support.
• Specific & Formalized: This intervention style may last a few weeks or months, and progress will be reviewed in intervals. 
• Intentional: This intervention is aimed at a particular challenge

Cognitive Skills Training

A variety of cognitive skills are required for learning efficiently and with ease. Working memory, selective attention and processing speed are several cognitive skills that underpin much of our academic success. These components are part of a larger network of skills, called executive functions, and they play a significant role in our ability to work quickly, accurately and under pressure. Without these critical skills, school can be tough. The good news is that these skills can be trained and developed, so that they are more fluid, automatic and supportive of the individual.
