Since 1999, StudySpot has been providing Academic Coaching educational support to middle school, high school, and post-secondary students. In 2017, StudySpot began to license the StudySpot brand and content to individuals who wished to provide this service in his or her own community.Academic Coaching is different from tutoring as it is focused on skill development as opposed to re-teaching content. Skills such as organization and time management, reading comprehension, written communication and study strategies are our typical areas of focus. We believe that motivating teenagers to change their academic behaviours requires the close relationship of a mentor or coach who is outside of the traditional parent/teacher role. It is the combination of our focus and our emphasis on a quality coaching relationship that differentiates our approach from the traditional tutoring support often sought by parents.Our referral sources include educational psychologists, psychotherapists, and area high schools.Specialties: We specialize in working with students who have weak executive functioning relating to an identified learning difference or struggles with attention.Please visit our website at www.studyspot.ca
