Why did I develop this unique model? How will it benefit students?
-Through teaching in a competitive school district and coaching in an elite club atmosphere, I have observed students' challenges in keeping up with modern demands. Students often fail to complete their work or prepare for an upcoming exam not because they do not have the knowledge but because they are exhausted and overwhelmed with the demands. Next Level Learning is not to replace traditional 1:1 content-specific tutoring but to support the modern busy students experiencing temptations of distractions and lagging executive functioning skills in an affordable way. Eleven to eighteen-year-old students struggle to consistently show discipline in focusing on a nonpreferred activity, such as homework, test preparation, and long-term assignments.
-This model helps empower, teach, and support students in developing skills for independence and success in the classroom. Additionally, some students may simply appreciate a quiet, distraction-free working space up to three nights a week.
