Personalized instruction designed to help students master rigorous coursework, prepare for college-level expectations, and build confidence across every subject.
English
Topics Covered
Literary analysis across genres, rhetorical analysis, argumentative and analytical essay writing, research papers with proper citation, vocabulary, and standardized-test-style reading and writing skills.
Our Approach
We treat essay writing as a skill built in layers: thesis development, evidence selection, analysis, structure and flow, then polish and mechanics. Rather than simply proofreading finished essays, we teach the thinking process behind effective writing so students can transfer those skills to future assignments.
How We Tailor Instruction
For students focused on a specific English course, instruction aligns with assigned novels and essay prompts. Students building general writing skills work with a variety of engaging texts selected to strengthen analytical reading and writing.
How We Measure Progress
Essays are scored using rubrics modeled after classroom and AP standards, with progress tracked in thesis development, evidence integration, analytical depth, organization, and mechanics.
Biology (Regular & AP)
Topics Covered
Cell biology, biochemistry, genetics, heredity, evolution, ecology, anatomy and physiology, plus the complete AP Biology curriculum including experimental design and free-response practice.
Our Approach
Biology concepts are connected through layered concept maps so students understand relationships between topics rather than memorizing isolated facts. This prepares them for higher-level synthesis questions on exams.
How We Tailor Instruction
For AP Biology students, instruction emphasizes data analysis and free-response practice while reinforcing the conceptual understanding needed for College Board exams.
How We Measure Progress
Students complete unit assessments modeled after classroom exams, AP-style free-response questions, and regular concept-recall activities.
Chemistry (Regular, Organic & AP)
Topics Covered
Atomic structure, periodicity, bonding, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids and bases, kinetics, plus Organic Chemistry topics including nomenclature, reaction mechanisms, stereochemistry, and synthesis.
Our Approach
We focus on mechanism-based understanding instead of memorization. Students learn why reactions occur and how to reason through unfamiliar problems rather than relying on memorized examples.
How We Tailor Instruction
Instruction adjusts to each student's comfort with chemistry calculations. Organic Chemistry students receive additional support recognizing reaction patterns and mechanisms.
How We Measure Progress
Progress is measured using exam-style problem sets, mechanism drawing practice, cumulative review, and detailed correction of recurring mistakes.
Physics
Topics Covered
Kinematics, Newton's Laws, energy, momentum, circular motion, gravitation, waves, electricity and magnetism, and introductory modern physics depending on course level.
Our Approach
Students first develop a conceptual understanding of why formulas work before applying them to increasingly challenging problems. Heavy emphasis is placed on diagrams and problem setup.
How We Tailor Instruction
AP Physics students complete additional free-response and multi-step problem solving while regular physics students focus more heavily on algebra-based conceptual foundations.
How We Measure Progress
Progress is tracked through analysis of conceptual errors, setup mistakes, calculation errors, and timed practice before major exams.
Computer Science
Topics Covered
Programming fundamentals, data structures, algorithms, Java for AP Computer Science A, Python for introductory courses, and AP Computer Science Principles concepts including the Create Performance Task.
Our Approach
Students learn to think like programmers by breaking problems into smaller steps, writing pseudocode, implementing solutions, and debugging effectively instead of memorizing syntax.
How We Tailor Instruction
Instruction follows the student's current programming language and coursework while adapting pacing to previous coding experience.
How We Measure Progress
Students practice live coding, debugging, AP-style free-response questions, and multiple-choice practice to strengthen programming confidence.
Mathematics
Topics Covered
Geometry, Algebra I & II, Trigonometry, Calculus (AB & BC), Statistics, Linear Algebra, and additional advanced mathematics courses.
Our Approach
Across every mathematics course, we focus on conceptual understanding before repetitive practice. Students first learn why a method works, then practice the skill independently before solving mixed-review problems that reflect real classroom exams.
How We Tailor Instruction
Lessons use the student's own textbook, homework, and teacher expectations whenever possible while balancing conceptual explanations with targeted practice based on individual needs.
How We Measure Progress
Regular quizzes, cumulative review assignments, and error-pattern tracking allow students and parents to clearly monitor long-term academic growth.
