Our Services

subject tutoring

We offer personalized lessons in the areas of reading, writing, science, math, English, foreign language, history, and essay writing. Subject material is presented in multiple ways to accommodate diverse learning styles. Complex material is broken down into smaller, simpler chunks; basic precepts and ideas are linked to larger and more advanced concepts.

At Academics Plus, tutoring sessions are customized to fit each student's needs with a particular emphasis on the development of skills and strategies applicable to all subject matter, including note-taking and test-taking skills, reading comprehension and organizational strategies.
