How can you help fill in the gaps in academic development that have widened over the past few years?
Summer is a great time to work on basic skills of reading, writing, math, problem-solving, and critical thinking. Summer tutoring clients will participate virtually in real-world project-based learning activities, complete summer reading, or practice for standardized tests. Tutoring is virtual via Zoom so no need to live locally! Below are the summer tutoring options for 2023.
*Note: Clearly, Summer 2023 has come and gone, but I leave these posts up for my Business Basics clients who are looking for ideas about starting their own business.
