Empowering Self-Regulated Learning Through Effective Tutoring and Consulting

Short, medium, and long-term planning, along with prioritization skills, are essential for high achievement in challenging academic programs. Through our educational consulting services, students learn valuable time-management strategies that enhance their skills as self-regulated learners. This helps them work effectively and efficiently, achieving a better balance between high achievement and life outside of academics, including the benefits of online tutoring.

By applying the principles of the 6 Desirable Difficulties alongside our own '1/3's Approach' during independent learning, our students become self-regulated learners who deepen their understanding, effectively apply what they've learned in real-world contexts and on tests and exams, and retain their knowledge for the long-term. This maximizes their performance on high-stakes examinations. Through our educational consulting, we also empower students to effectively monitor their own progress, ensuring a targeted approach to their independent learning and online tutoring.

Students sometimes find the pace of the class moves too quickly, or they struggle to understand the material while taking notes. To enhance their learning experience, our educational consulting services guide students to preview lessons in advance. This preparation helps them keep up with the pace of instruction and participate effectively in lessons, much like the benefits seen in online tutoring. By becoming self-regulated learners, better participators can absorb more information and improve their overall understanding.

Students need to be able to read for varying purposes, depending on the subject and how new knowledge will be applied. Through educational consulting, our students develop critical thinking skills while they read, using highlighting and annotating techniques to track their thinking. This approach helps them become self-regulated learners, allowing them to apply their insights effectively in writing, studying, and various academic tasks. Additionally, online tutoring sessions reinforce these skills, ensuring that students are well-equipped for their educational journey.

Students often 'dive in' to writing tasks without fully understanding what high achievement on those tasks involves. Through our educational consulting services, we guide students in applying a '10-Step Writing Process' that helps them become self-regulated learners. This approach enables them to thoroughly grasp the demands of any writing task, regardless of the schooling level, and achieve high levels of success through a manageable and effective step-by-step method, supported by online tutoring.

It can be challenging for many students to understand how to maximize the support of teachers who wish to help them. Our students view their teachers as allies on their learning journey and leverage their relationships with their teachers to ensure they flourish in school. Through educational consulting, we encourage students to become self-regulated learners, and where possible, we liaise with classroom teachers to further enhance this support. Additionally, we offer online tutoring options to complement the assistance provided by teachers.

Many students feel daunted by Maths, believing that challenging Maths problems are simply beyond their reach. This mindset can be quite limiting for ambitious learners in an education system where everyone studies Maths until the age of 16, even if they have no intention of pursuing Maths at university. Through educational consulting and online tutoring, our approach transforms students' perspectives, enabling them to view and approach Maths like self-regulated learners. This shift leads to significantly increased confidence and improved performance.
