Students who struggle in English often have weak underlying reading comprehension and writing skills. Students with poor time management skills also face challenges in English because they do not set aside enough time for reading, and as a result rush through or fail to finish reading assignments. Effective writing requires time for planning and editing, two steps that are regularly overlooked by students in their rush to get assignments completed.
Our coaches will work with students to improve their comprehension skills by learning to read actively and with purpose. Many students struggle to organize their thoughts in a clear and concise manner. We assist these students by developing brainstorming and outlining strategies. Templates can be used to teach and practice the structuring of thoughts and ideas for typical essay topics
Time management skills are essential to ensure that enough time is being devoted to English reading assignments. Adolescents can be poor at estimating time and can fall into the trap of over or underestimating the time required to complete an assignment successfully. StudySpot coaches teach students how to estimate time effectively and support them as they plan their unstructured time each week.
Working directly with English content, the coach and student will work together to create essay outlines, prepare for tests, and discuss the books they read with the goal of deepening the student’s understanding.
