This is our Signature Study Skills and Meta-Learning program. We teach your child Candice’s 10 core meta-learning processes and life skills from A to Z. Get all her best tips.
Kids today are so savvy and have so much access to information they seem sophisticated beyond their years. Yet so many of these same kids don’t have the right tools to navigate school. If your child is distracted or doesn’t have the right underlying study skills and mindset, they end up spending time on the wrong things. The only answer is to create the right foundation through the environment, academic skills, and social-emotional skills.
In our Learn the Ladder Method program, our Academic managers and coaches teach your child Candice’s 10 key study habits, meta-learning tools & life skills to help your child better navigate their educational environment. With this toolkit, no matter your child’s starting point, age, or learning profile, we have found that all students can hit their highest potential.
This program is suggested for traditional learners who want to jump from a C to A or B to an A. For children with learning differences, we suggest her Learn how to Learn program first to fine-tune executive functioning skills and remediate any learning gaps.

REMEDIATION
This is our introductory course for children with learning differences and executive functioning struggles. We teach your child Candice’s meta-learning skills and executive functioning strategies at a gentler pace so that the coaches can fine-tune and remediate gaps in executive functioning skills, academic skills, and social-emotional skills such as planning, resilience, emotional self-regulation, attention, and mindfulness.
Our coaches target four core areas: environment, routine building, remediation of academic skills like reading and math, and social-emotional skills like resilience and positive thinking.
In our Learn How to Learn program, our Academic managers and coaches teach your child Candice’s social-emotional programming to instill better resilience, positive thinking, and organization tools to better navigate their challenges with the right outlook. With this toolkit, no matter your child’s starting point, age, or learning profile, we have found that all students can learn how to learn!
Our Most Frequently Asked Tutoring Questions
What is Tutoring vs. Coaching vs Homework Help?
We make distinctions in our office between homework help, tutoring and academic coaching.
Tutoring
This service is best used for students who are struggling with the ability to understand a specific content area.
What this looks like in practice: Your child has been a great student but is now struggling with math or Chemistry or Upper-level English assignments.
There is a discrete issue that requires remediation.
They need a content expert who is an expert at a specific subject matter.
Coaching
This service is best applied for our students that are traditional learners but are struggling to get to the A in a class or set of classes. They may be at an C or a B.
We also suggest coaching for transition times such as the transition into Middle School or High School.
We work on the 11 tenets//elements of Candice’s Ladder Method to help boost this child to the top of their class.
What this looks like in practice: An inability to consistently get an A in a class or set of classes.
Homework Help & Accountability
These students are great test takers but lack follow through in getting homework turned in.
Either there is a larger Executive Functioning issue or a more traditional inability to understanding the micro-steps and timing of a bigger project and how to manage those steps in an order. See also planning.
What this looks like in practice: An inability to task manage might look a weakness to turn in homework on time, to understand what the micro-steps of a project are, how to prioritize them, how to allocate time for them, and what steps go in what order.
