Mission |
Marguerita Merrrick tutors high school and middle school students in academic subjects and in preparing for standardized tests. Her approach is designed to increase academic performance by teaching effective studying methods and by working through and explaining difficult concepts. The goal is to simplify material and render exams and schoolwork less intimidating, to streamline the studying process in order to achieve greater results without endless hours of preparation and without piling on extra work.
Students are currently balancing a greater workload than before with the variety of subjects and tests that are required, and the aim of tutoring is to provide structure around studying. In preparing for standardized tests, students are introduced to a special set of skills which are often not acquired in the classroom in addition to the necessary strategies to maximize points in each section. Students also learn how to write compelling and effective college essays.
Experience has shown that students respond more readily to an individualized approach than to the preset programs offered by agencies. Sessions are tailored to the student’s specific needs and individual learning style, and as a result students become more confident test takers, more motivated to do the work and more aware of their strengths. This unique approach has produced dramatic overall improvements and substantial grade and score increases. Students have less anxiety around schoolwork and are encouraged to achieve their potential. |
