Welcome to ACTIVE LANGUAGE AND LEARNING
Our goal is to help students reach their maximum potential and to make school feel easier and less stressful for both students and parents.
Our Mission
We help students of all ages reach their maximum academic potentials through:
-
1) Building up the foundation of learning (e.g., strengthening organization, planning, and time management)
-
2) Addressing specific skills (e.g., reading and writing) and subjects (e.g., language arts or social studies)
-
3) Fine tuning (e.g., standardized test taking skills)
Each student and parent defines success differently, so we work with families to determine goals for the sessions. We encourage students to bring backpacks and applicable school work to sessions. Using school work helps generalize skills and reduces homework time at home.
We meet with students in our office or at school. Sessions are typically one hour and are regularly scheduled during the academic school year.
