The primary difference between our mentors and a tutor is that a mentor helps students learn core skills that will affect academic performance holistically, while a tutor generally focuses on just a single subject.
While academic mentoring includes elements of traditional tutoring, the goals and process of academic mentoring go deeper to teach students to become more effective learners, not simply to survive the crisis of the day.
Using current school challenges as a springboard, we teach students Executive Function skills that help them develop the habits that allow them to succeed in school and beyond.
