High School Students

 

Are you changing schools? Moving from middle school to high school? Getting ready to go to college? Are you managing the challenge of a ‘return to learn’ after an illness or extended absence?

A change in circumstance demands a change in approach as academic success at increasingly advanced levels requires more than remembering information. And it’s not at all unusual for the skills that worked in middle school or high school to be no longer sufficient for the demands at the next level of learning. Deep understanding requires new skills to support the consolidation of information required to make meaning from all the details.

In our work together, you will learn subject specific practical strategies to

  • organize time, workspace, and materials,

  • improve memory and information retention,

  • de-mystify and defeat procrastination,

  • consolidate and synthesize details into meaningful ideas and concepts,

  • develop analytic reading and writing skills,

  • cultivate a metacognitive frame of reference for thinking and decision-making,

  • learn positive self-talk to support a growth mindset.
