We identify the root cause through a brief skills check and a review of classwork. Then we teach the concept in a way that fits the student’s learning style, followed by targeted, scaffolded practice. We also build X-Skills habits like organization, time management, and test-taking strategies so gains last. Local families tell us they see improved confidence, stronger note-taking, and better scheduling habits. In a high-achieving community where about 70 percent of K to 8 students are proficient in math, this individualized support helps students close gaps and keep pace with rigorous coursework.
