In addition to providing traditional instruction, we create personalized instruction, support, and remediation across all of their academic courses. Students will learn organizational strategies for managing their workload, study strategies for different types of testing situations, critical writing skills for papers, note taking strategies and interpersonal skills for managing relationships with teachers.

Transitions between grades can be difficult and students are often caught off-guard by the level and amount of work they are expected to do. Executive functioning is a major predictor of their future academic success. In these weekly sessions, we cover the skills necessary for achieving optimal grades and ensuring academic success. Students will receive one-on-one coaching to develop executive functioning skills based on that student’s learning style, goals, and needs.

Writing is a primary way for humans to communicate with one another, and it is among the most important lifelong skills. We teach students that writing is a process. Once you master the process, you can apply it repeatedly, whenever and to whatever you write. Our Writing Skills tutoring teaches individualized approaches to idea generation, organization and outline, rough drafting, discussion and revision, and editing.

We work with students who have language-based learning differences which can affect reading. Our programs develop literacy and language skills by working on phonemic awareness, vocabulary through sight words, and handwriting. Our reading specialists are trained in the Wilson Reading System, Lindamood-Bell Programs, and the Orton-Gillingham Approach.

At F&B we work with students who are struggling with motivation in middle, high school, and college. We have extensive experience with this type of therapeutic academic coaching having worked with individual students and groups on: managing stress and anxiety, guiding academic, athletic and personal goals, improving social skills and fostering peer relations. This service helps not only with executive functioning but also with psychological motivational barriers in a safe, comfortable environment.

While a regular subject tutor focuses on teaching specific academic subject matter, educational therapists apply specialized training in learning differences to address more systemic issues affecting an individual student’s academic performance. We utilize clinical practitioners' research to create and employ empirically based interventions to ensure the most effective treatment plan for each student. We work as a team, collaborating to solve problems, craft customized interventions, and reach the most effective outcomes for all students. We also stay in regular communication with clinicians and counselors to keep all parties informed regarding a student's development.
