Why Choose Us

You've thought long and hard about what your son or daughter needs.

  • Maybe his grades have dropped.
  • Or you're just plain worn down by the nightly homework battles.
  • He's pretty much checked out of school.
  • He's going through the motions, but you know he's lost interest.
  • Maybe he still wants to please you and do well, even though he doesn't care much anymore.
  • He's starting to complain that he can't do the work because it's stupid or he's referring to himself as "just plain dumb."

You're tired of doing battle; pulling your hair out, making suggestions he doesn't listen to, tired of taking away privileges. You've tried tutors, you've combed the internet, collected referrals on scraps of papers you can't remember where you put. None of your efforts has made a difference anyway. You're at your wit's end. Your spouse or partner has been saying that your son would probably do okay if he would just pull himself together and try harder. But you know he's tried and now he's close to giving up and throwing in the towel. Maybe you are too.

It takes courage to pick up the phone and call us when you're at the end of your rope. It takes guts to say, "I need help."

We at Strategies for Learning think of ourselves as a lifeline for parents and children.

We believe that every child can succeed. Our students quickly find out that we're crazy about them and we care about their success. What we offer is hope based on solid expertise. We put our knowledge to work helping you and your child lighten the load. Our team will tap into our wealth of experience, figure out how he learns best and create a plan just for him. At the heart of our work lies the unique mind of your child guiding the work we do. We'll take it step-by-step with lots of challenging brain food along the way. Over time, he'll begin to understand for himself how he learns and what he needs. He'll even start advocating for himself at school. You'll see a difference in his staying power and resilience, in his ability to grapple with problems and overcome hurdles. You'll see a difference in his grades as well. It won't happen overnight. There aren't any quick fixes. But when it does, it's the most gratifying thing in the whole world.
