Writing
We have many educators who specialize in effectively teaching the writing process. Our teachers pay close attention to the individual needs of each student, whether it is developing plans to help with general writing deficiencies or completing specific writing assignments. We make deficient writers proficient and strong writers even stronger. From short essays to five-page research papers, our educators will help your child succeed in every aspect of writing.

Mathematics
Math concepts become more challenging in middle school. If a child fails to understand math now, the high school years will likely see him or her unprepared to handle advanced concepts in the future. Our educators are skilled in finding where the conceptual problems exist, and in preparing the student to fully understand that concept. We pay close attention to each learner and find a teaching style that best prepares the student for success in mathematics.

Reading
Our reading specialists have extensive experience in teaching the skills necessary to comprehend middle school literature. We also employ certified special education instructors to provide reading assistance for students with learning differences.

Organizational & Study Skills
Two of the most challenging skills for middle school students to develop are proper organization and effective study habits. Our educators are proficient in showing students how to become established in both areas. Whether it is teaching how to take better notes, maximize study time, or become more efficient at completing their daily homework assignments, our educators will instill practical organizational skills and study habits in your child.

ISEE / SSAT Prep
We provide individualized evaluation and preparation for both of these independent school standardized tests. Independent schools use the ISEE and SSAT as tools to judge the academic readiness of their prospective students. Our educators teach exam content and specific strategies to ensure your child is ready for every facet of these long and challenging exams.

Independent Schools Application Process
Our specialists help students with every aspect of the arduous New York and Connecticut independent school application process, particularly with guidance on the application essay questions.

Other Areas
We have experienced educators in all middle school academic areas, including Foreign Languages, Social Studies, Science, and more.
