How It Works?

  • In this session, Jake will want to understand the student’s aspirations, academic goals, and interests and learn more about the student’s needs. This is mandatory for new clients before booking the first session.

  • Based on the consultation, Jake creates a customized learning plan tailored to the student’s academic level, learning style, and goals. The plan outlines the topics we will cover, the session schedule, and key milestones.

  • Our engaging one-on-one sessions (virtual or in-person) focus on mastering current school material and filling knowledge gaps. Jake will use interactive tools and real-world examples to make learning enjoyable and effective.

  • Throughout the tutoring journey, Jake will monitor progress using regular assessments and feedback. He will provide parents with monthly progress updates, highlighting improvements and areas that need further focus.

  • Jake will conduct a final review to assess overall progress at the end of the tutoring package or school term. He will provide recommendations for future learning, whether it’s continuing with advanced topics, maintaining current success, or preparing for upcoming courses.

  • Jake will always make himself available outside of his services to further connect with his students. He hopes to be a resource for those who he has a chance to work with.
