Based on the The Science of Reading, which shows that developing strong phonological awareness skills is key to successful reading, we teach sounds systematically and explicitly so that students can develop successful decoding and encoding skills by building on what they already know. Our phonics instruction is also multisensory, utilizing visual, musical, and kinesthetic movements. Evaluation Required.

Many students struggle with reading comprehension and other language skills due to weak concept imagery. We focus on developing strong visualization skills in order to improve overall comprehension and higher order thinking. This can also help improve deficiencies in vocabulary, memory, listening comprehension, and writing. Evaluation Required.

For ESL learners of all ages, we develop a plan based on each individual’s strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing, listening, and speaking in order to build confidence in comprehending and communicating in a second language.

We explicitly teach the writing process in order for students to brainstorm and organize their writing with introductions, topic sentences, and conclusions. In addition, we focus on correct sentence structures that help students to clearly express their ideas and opinions.

We teach students how to effectively annotate, take notes, manage their time, and organize their priorities through a multisensory approach that will help develop their studying and test taking skills.

French courses are tailored and designed to suit the student’s professional, social, or educational needs, whether the skill level is beginner, intermediate, or advanced. The focus is on vocabulary, grammar, speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills. We can also accommodate a small group or corporate class.

These adult classes focus on either writing (grammar, vocabulary, and sentence and paragraph structure) or speaking (pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, fluency). 10 classes in total, once a week for 90 minutes. Maximum of 8 students per class.
