What are executive functioning skills? Executive functions help an individual apply basic skills to real-life situations in a well-organized way. Executive functions include one's ability to maintain one's attention in order to control and manage cognitive functions such as organizing, problem solving, stopping impulses, and thinking flexibly. 

What is academic coaching? Academic coaching is a comprehensive form of support that not only helps to fill in the fundamental gaps of knowledge in students' subject areas, but also assesses and addresses areas like organization, time management, study habits & skills, motivation, effort, and overall perspective in school.

On the phone we had her colleague, Erik Githmark, principal of my daughter's middle school, Mountview Middle School in Holden, MA. The topic was super interesting.

Recent Testimonials 

Dear Todd, I made honors! With hard work and dedication you can achieve anything. And that’s just what I did. I just want to thank you for all the help you gave me. In the beginning of the year I was lazy and not willing to work but you taught to just put the effort in and you’ll do alright. That has stuck with me throughout this year and I really put it into affect. I aced almost all of my finals except one and had a great end to the school year. You really helped me a lot out this year. Thank you.

CALL FOR RATES
Weekend Writing Workshops
Becoming a good writer is like becoming a good athlete or a good musician. One must practice in order to achieve success. A student also needs time to put their writing down, walk away for a bit, and come back with fresh eyes. We will offer a writing workshop for students in grades seven through ten. With direct instruction from an experienced writer/teacher, students will have an opportunity to sharpen their writing skills without any  classroom pressure. The idea will be to help students embrace the concept that writing can be a nonlinear process, but a process nonetheless. You start with planning and then go from there. These workshops will meet on two separate days
Our Mission Statement
    Our goal is to help each student become the best version of themselves. We strive to motivate every student to want to improve daily. Next Level Up aims to encourage all students to become life-long learners. We inspire students to focus on fundamentals, positive study habits, organization, and always putting in 100% effort.
Weekend Math Workshops
Fundamentals, double checking, showing all of your work. These are all the basics of becoming a successful student in math  regardless of age or level.  Unfortunately, there are many students who don't use these simple, most effective ways of catching errors in your work. All students make errors in their math from time to time, but those who check their work usually catch the mistakes.  We will begin with two different workshops. The first will be for students in the upper elementary grades, into the first year of middle school. This will be intended to reinforce pre-algebraic thinking, areas of the usual frustration like fractions, decimals, and percents, as well as focusing on using math vocabulary when practicing math. Additionally, we will have a hands-on workshop designed to help support 7th and 8th grade students in Algebra 1. These workshops will meet on two separate days. 
Teen "Survival Skills" Workshops
The real world can be an intimidating place when a student first enters it. They have to exert their independence, and with that comes the responsibilities of looking for a job, buying a car, renting a house, budgeting, establishing credit and debt, understanding taxes, and using credit cards responsibly. Our "Survival Skills" workshops will use the wisdom and experience from local business people to help teach and enlighten teenagers about what to expect when facing these realities in the near future.
