On-Demand Academic Success Skills Tutoring

Best Learning Systems is offering on-demand tutoring for grades 6-12 and those in college. We know that students can struggle in any subject, but what we found is common among struggling students goes deeper than just subject matter.

Students Commonly Struggle With…

• organizing notes
• using notes in effective and efficient ways
• not knowing what to study or how study
• not spacing their time and studying well before a quiz or test
• losing focus while working or studying
• reading in an effective and efficient way
• maintaining focus while working and studying
• finding alternative ways to study and work when something isn’t working-and figuring out the missing element
• prioritizing work
• making a balanced schedule to reduce stress
• using unique strategies to improve learning, understanding, and memory

How Do We Help?

Our college instructor of 16 years who has taught academic success skills knows exactly what students need to improve in each of these areas:

• note-taking systems that save time and improve learning and memory
• managing time and spacing out work to reduce stress
• offering unique strategies to improve concentration and motivation to work and complete tasks
• offering unique strategies to study in different, more effective ways
• helping you find a good, clear way to prioritize and balance work
• providing tried and true ways to enhance reading comprehension and to reduce the misconceptions of reading that cause stress (we discuss effective and efficient ways to read).
• helping prepare for quizzes and tests and offering unique test-taking strategies
• …and so much more.

Therefore, here is what we do:

• we offer support in the academic skills listed above (and many more areas of skills)
• we offer support for tests
• we offer support with writing (we love teaching writing and offering editing support!)
• we offer homework support-if you or your child just needs an accountability partner-then we are your people!

How Does On-Demand Tutoring Work?

We know you hate memberships. We know you cannot predict how long your student will need our support, so a long-term commitment is not right for you. We help you when you need it-including day-of needs.

How Does the Process to Get Help Work?

• you reach out to us using a contact form or via email with a specific area of need for you or your child (remember, we help college students too).
• we respond in a timely manner, and we discuss what you or your child needs support in-more specifically.
• We meet virtually one time for one hour via Google Meet or Zoom.
• In that one hour, we will spend the first 10 minutes or so learning about you or your child on a deeper level.
• After that, we will create a plan on how to use the remaining hour.
• In that time, you or your child will receive strategies and tools for immediate use and for individual, personalized support.
• It will NOT be a lecture or a PowerPoint session. It will be interactive, engaging, and highly informative and practical, or it will simply be an accountability session if you simply need someone to make sure you or your child get your homework done and to help you stay focused during that work time.
• If you need more sessions afterwards, then you simply repeat the process and reach out to us again.

Here is what we DON’T do:

• We do not offer specific content/subject-area support (math, English, sciences, history, etc.)
• We do not require you to commit for any period of time

There are no obligations. No memberships. No long-term commitments.

You or your child gets the immediate help he or she needs with no strings attached.

Pricing

Each session will be priced at $40 an hour.

This isn’t just a talk session.

It will be real work and real support by a real college instructor who has taught academic success skills her entire career.

You or your child will leave the session with immediate support, new tools and strategies to use for any class and for learning in general, and with resources to refer to when struggling.

Try us today! Unlike other tutoring platforms, you are not obligated to anything. We also make the time for you or your child when you need it.

That is why we are on-demand-you can count on us for last minute support.
