Our expert tutors assist students in four major areas:

I. GENERAL HOMEWORK, ORGANIZATION & TEST-TAKING SKILLS

Our tutors motivate and inspire students to complete school assignments with confidence and provide concrete techniques to organize their schedules and help them to remember deadlines. Additionally, Ivy Link expert test-takers teach students exam-taking techniques to maximize their scores on classroom and standardized tests.

II. SUBJECT-SPECIFIC TUTORING

Our tutors provide one-on-one assistance in specific academic subjects. Below is a sample of subjects taught by our tutors:

III. ACADEMIC COACHING

Ivy Link’s elite academic coaching service is aimed at transforming a merely good student into an excellent student. A typical Academic Coaching student is one who does well in school and would like to strive for a higher level of achievement — whether it is aiming to take college level linear algebra while still in high school, or learning advanced high school biology while still in middle school.

We believe that just as great coaching is required for an athlete to become an Olympian, expert guidance and quality instruction by a dedicated academic coach are essential for academic success.

IV. SPECIAL LEARNING ISSUES

For students with learning difficulties, such as dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and disorder of written expression, our learning specialists provide multiple programs and materials to fit their learning profiles.

Key elements of instruction include direct teaching of a skill, modeling of a skill, repetition, review, varied instruction with different materials, redirection (if needed), frequent assessment and, most importantly, positive feedback.

• Word Decoding
