Atlanta Reviews

“Thank you for your session update! Our son has really enjoyed his time with you and said the things that he's learning are applicable to his current schoolwork, so that's a win-win-win! Appreciate all that you are doing.”

Alpharetta High School Parent

“Thank you so much for teaching me and helping me learn and review so much material. Back in May, I barely thought I would get an ACT score of 34, especially not a 36! Because of your patient tutelage, I've achieved so much and deepened my understanding of a variety of fields. You showed me a side of math that I never learned in school."

Chattahoochee High School Student

“Thanks for all your help in the final days before Elizabeth’s ACT. She came home with a smile, some relief, but she finished each section with time to spare. Thanks again for helping her get through the anxiety and provide her with time management skills.”

We are so proud of her and beyond impressed by how much you helped her in only a few sessions. I have recommended Applerouth to many of my friends (we used the tutoring service for her older brothers as well) but I will definitely be recommending you specifically! You have true talent.”

STUDENT CASE STUDY

A 7th-Grader Finds Her Focus Through Executive Function Skills

Background

Tammy was in 7th grade when her parents reached out to us. She was struggling with her executive functioning skills, and specifically, with a low C in her geometry class. As can be commonplace at her age, her social life was overshadowing her focus on academics. After assessing all the details, we matched Tammy with a Premium Applerouth Tutor with an aptitude for helping students shift their focus and manage their motivation. In Tammy’s case, the tutor recognized the importance of addressing executive function skills and study habits. She learned that she had the power to improve her low C in math on her own with simple habit tweaks.

Overall, Tammy’s executive functioning skills improved, and she learned the key skill of managing her priorities when necessary. Her tutoring journey continued into high school, where she was excelling in geometry class. This reflects the impressive gains that Tammy has made in her overall focus and in her executive functioning skills!

Approach

  • Tammy came to us struggling academically. We identified one of the main causes to be a lack of executive functioning skills. 
  • With her newfound knowledge of executive functioning, Tammy was able to become aware of her most effective personal motivators.
  • She was able to transition to structured, goal-oriented meetings throughout her time with us.

Outcome

Tammy, now a high school freshman excelling in geometry, demonstrates how improved organizational skills and motivation can help students excel by leaps and bounds. Tammy was able to move beyond her previous academic barriers with simple techniques. A little help can truly make big ripples in a student’s academic journey.
