refined and researched methods provide stability
in a tutoring landscape of uncertain and random

Homework and study skills coaching
For homework and study skills coaching to work,
students must transfer what they learn in tutoring
to their school and home environments. To ensure
this transfer, we:
- use students’ school assignments
and materials to train them to organize their
materials, plan their time well and use study
strategies most effective for each assignment
- monitor students as they follow a regularly
scheduled homework and study time each day
- train parents to use strategies that promote
independent study habits in their children
- regularly contact each student’s teachers
to determine how the student is currently performing
in class and the degree to which he or she uses
the teacher’s prescribed homework and
study strategies
- participate, when necessary, in developing
and monitoring a student’s Individual Educational
Plan or 504 Accommodation Plan so he or she performs
well in spite of learning or attention difficulties
- provide course counseling and recommendations
on school placement
Subject tutoring
Sometimes, otherwise successful students need help
in just one subject, such as algebra, chemistry
or Spanish. Manus Academy offers single-subject tutoring during
which the instructor teaches the course content
and coaches the student to use study strategies
most effective for that course.
Ongoing Parent and School Consultation
Our teaching staff reviews each student’s
progress with parents before or after lessons and
during regularly scheduled, fifteen-minute, bi-weekly
phone conferences. With the parents’ permission,
they also regularly contact the student’s
teachers at school.
These frequent communications allow us to evaluate
the effectiveness of the tutorial program, the school
accommodations and the child's use of his or her
homework and study time. The instructional program
is regularly assessed and updated as needed.
Every spring, Manus Academy re-evaluates each student’s
educational skills, either formally or informally,
depending on which is most appropriate. Following
this assessment, the instructor meets with the parents
and, together, they discuss future educational plans
for the student. |
