About Us:
Our Philosophy
Philomath Kids Inc. believes in the transformative power of personalized education and one-on-one tutoring.
Our Work
Our unique approach combines humanities instruction with evidence-based strategies to improve executive functioning. Philomath's paradigm, while focused on academic growth, also aims to enhance children's critical thinking, autonomy, and self confidence beyond the classroom.
Our Specialties:
-
Writing
Writing is more than just putting words to a page; it is a considerable exercise in cognition that encompasses motivation, planning, organizing, and self reflection. By integrating evidence-based pedagogies into direct instruction, students will develop not only their writing skills but also their ability to regulate their own learning. I empower students to appreciate writing as a process in addition to having a sense of pride and ownership with their finished work.
-
Exectuive Functioning & Skills Coaching
Students with executive-functioning challenges often face unique needs in their educational journeys and daily lives. Philomath Kids customizes and implements scientifically-backed approaches to help ADHD students with time management, task initiation, planning, organization, confidence, and focus. In addition to a physician and/or therapist care plan, executive functioning coaching not only helps enhance academic outcomes but also equips individuals with skills necessary for lifelong success.
