Does your student have difficulty with:
- chronic disorganization
- challenges in reading comprehension and/or math
- difficulty with note-taking (including hearing and/or identifying main idea and important details)
- ongoing problems with writing (including organizing thoughts, developing sentences/paragraphs, creating a cohesive paper inclusive of important facts and details).
- difficulty retaining information while doing something with it (remembering instructions during an exam, for example)
- habitually losing or misplacing belongings, forgetting to bring necessary books, etc. to home from school, or forgetting to turn in homework

The Learning Essentials philosophy is that most students are capable of understanding the content of the courses they are taught. The difference between academic success and struggling learners, can be attributed not to a failure of the intellect, but to a weakness in, or the complete absence of learning strategies. Study strategies such as organization, time management, note taking, test preparation, and project development are rarely taught by teachers, especially at the middle and high school level. Many teachers are content driven and expect students to understand how to learn and how to tackle their workload. Academic coaches build confidence, motivation and self reliance through teaching and implementing effective learning strategies that meet each student’s needs.
