Details

30-60 Minute Free Lesson:
- A brief session to introduce ourselves and any problems you may have.
-I will also go over "Study Hygiene" and how you/your child can implement it.
-Purpose:
--> Go over specific needs or concerns
--> Review current study methods
--> Formulate an idea of what methods will work best
--> Gives me time to make a good plan for success

1st-3rd Session(s):
- The first few sessions will be a bit different than the rest. These will aim to review current issues and try to solve them.
-These will be less about learning current material (although that will be accomplished) and more about trying different learning methods and establishing a routine.

Normal Sessions:
-Perform "Study Hygiene" (ideally before meeting or within the first few minutes of joining)
-Check in on already taken or upcoming quizzes/tests, assignments, homework, issues, etc.
-Review past mistakes and help correct and understand the past errors
-Reteach topics of concern or coping methods to help study
-Potential Options for Excess Time:
--> Time to actively study and review
--> Participating in games/activities/etc.
--> Breaks that include stretching, treats, rewards, etc.

Basic Needs for Lessons:
- A comfortable space or area ideal for studying. (This can differ for everyone, and will be discussed in the free lesson. But ideally a dedicated space separate from where they sleep, eat, watch TV, or play games.)
-Access to a computer, laptop, tablet, or phone. (Ideally a computer or laptop for better interactivity, and has a microphone and camera.)
-Ability to use Google Meet, Gmail, and other Google applications like Drive and Docs.
- (Optional) Candy/treats, access to applications like Notion or mobile scanners, access to share/print the course material/schedule/grades

Quick Definitions:
--> Study Hygiene is an established routine to prepare yourself for a study session. It can be different for everyone, but it is to help you get comfortable in a set study space. This includes access to a device, access to class books/homework/quizzes/tests/portals/etc., snacks or drinks, a candle/aroma maker, and pens/paper/etc. Some may prefer to be in a comfy chair, some may prefer to be at a desk, some may prefer to be on the floor, and some may prefer to be in a dim room. We can personalize and adjust the session as needed. **This is a space and routine to provide focus. If anything is truly distracting or impeding the lesson, it will need to be removed or put away**

--> Body Doubling is a study/productivity method that is commonly effective for ADHD people. It involves having one or more people with you as you study or do work. It can significantly improve your motivation and productivity, especially when held accountable. If this sounds like something you do or enjoy, we can carve out time to specifically get work done and then review it all together.
