The Roots Program
"There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots; the other, wings."
~Hodding Carter
Our Roots program is an after-school tutoring program that focuses on learning how to learn.
Complete homework assignments, study for tests, get organized, receive academic and executive functioning support, and improve grades.
Learn How to Learn
Our Roots program is an individualized tutoring program that focuses on learning how to learn. It is for any student in grades 5-12 who struggles to complete assignments, study for quizzes and tests, break down the steps of larger projects, stay focused at home, and feel successful in school. In the Roots program, we focus on skills that include executive functioning, habit-building, effective studying, time management, as well as reading, writing, and math.
Students enrolled in public or private school during the day are welcome in our learning centers in Norwood and Medfield any time from 4:00 to 6:00 pm Monday - Thursday and Friday, Saturday, or Sunday by appointment.
In the Roots program, we begin every session with a short conversation and mini-lesson on one particular academic skill. We then provide support for students as they complete homework, study for quizzes and tests, and complete essays and projects. With this structure, students feel both support and independence at the same time.
