Individualized Learning.
Exceptional Results.
We provide individualized instruction that ensures people are able to acquire the skills they need to successfully navigate school and beyond. We specialize in executive functioning coaching, reading and writing tutoring for middle school and high school students, specialized support for students as they apply to college, and educational consulting services.
Why Adept?
Navigating special education can be mind boggling. Adept’s tutoring and advising services aim to lighten the load of this burden. With extensive knowledge of special education law, specialized private schools, and a spectrum of learning disabilities, we offer both tutoring and educational consulting services.
We also help families navigate finding the best school for their child with a learning disability, whether it be to support their secondary or college education. We listen to both kids and their families to help them find and evaluate the best academic environments according to student needs and financial considerations.
At Adept, we acknowledge the importance of both understanding our learners cognitively and as unique human beings. Our approach ensures that students understand the objectives for their individualized instruction so that they can better understand the way they learn and advocate for their unique learning needs.
