YTT’s academic/executive-function coaching service differs slightly from the one-on-one tutoring in that it focuses on the process of learning, as well as the skills and strategies needed to be successful, independent learners across the board – in all classes and areas of life. Where one-on-one tutoring hones in on the unique academic content presented in each class (setting up Calculus equations or identifying the main idea of a text for example), academic coaching looks at learning from a birds-eye view to create an individualized plan of action for achievement.

Personalized Learning Style Assessments

YTT believes there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Our academic coaches provide students with a personality test, learning style assessment, and make formal & informal observations about a student’s approach to learning before creating a customized plan to set students up for success organizationally. Our academic coaches show students how to:

• Manage their time effectively
• Structure their assignments into achievable timelines
• Study more efficiently
• Prepare for tests
• Communicate effectively with parents and teachers
