Middle School is terrifying. But, when you add in the massive leap a student has to make from 5th grade to 6th, it can be beyond overwhelming. In fact, it is often the moment when parents see their high-performing middle schooler become an unmotivated and struggling student they almost do not recognize. I have seen this more times than I can count during my career in education. Building on a wide range of experiences and interactions with thousands of students, I have designed this course to land your student in the bliss of self-assurance with a renewed (or maybe newly born) passion for learning. Every subject and content area in school requires a student to read and write, so believe me when I say that getting over the literacy hurdle makes all the ones after it on the course so much easier to hop right over!
