TELL ME MORE
After discussions between Anderson Academics and your family, a custom academic program will be developed for your student. Anderson Academics may meet with your student once a week, several times a week or even everyday. Sessions could be for an hour, several hours or a full day. All scheduling is tailored to meet the needs of your family.
Unlike most tutoring arrangements, Anderson Academics will not mearly sit at a table with your student and review textbooks for an hour a week. Instead, your child's session could be out in the community, working with technology or going for a hike. We could be interviewing local community members or studying exhibits at Grinnell's local art gallery.
While remedial sessions are likely to be the most stationary and consistent, even these sessions are project-based. (meaning learning is developed through comprehensive project planning, execution and presentation)

ENRICH
Explorative independent studies; real-world applicable projects; action research; or tangental discoveries within the core subjects... Enrichment serves students who have a zeal for creativity and divergent thinking. But it isn't just for gifted or bored students. These sessions are excellent for students who need guidance in how think about the world more creatively.
SUPPORT
Provide your student with the opportunity to keep skills sharp, prevent slippage when this year's class environment doesn't set your student up for success, or when the material get more challenging. From homework help, to academics success skills, to reinforcing lessons to ensure mastery, this is where content and "being good at school" skills are taught side-by-side.
RECOUP
A.a provides a comprehensive remediation program built around pre-assessments, focused goal setting, effective instruction and mastery. Negative feelings toward a subject turn to confidence, and holes in understanding become points of expertise.
