Chaos-Free Homework Programs

Specialized tutoring sessions and phone consultations designed to meet the needs of children who have difficulties learning or focusing with traditional instructional methods.

Are you pulling your hair out trying to get your child to complete his/her homework each night?  Many children with focus issues or different learning styles struggle in school, even though they are of average to above-average intelligence.  Children meeting these criteria are in need of specific instructional methods tailored to their learning and physical needs, and supported by the latest brain and educational research.  Take the following simple quiz to see if you and your child would benefit from a Chaos-Free Homework program.

  • Does your child have difficulty focusing in school and on homework? 
  • Is homework time chaotic and stressful?
  • Is your child intelligent but still has difficulty completing assignments? 
  • Has homework time become an unpleasant emotional experience for both you and your child?
  • Does your child have a hard time sitting still long enough to complete an assignment, or even one problem?
  • Is your child able to focus on activities of high interest to him for an hour, but can’t focus on homework for 10 minutes?
  • Does your child engage in negative self-talk, such as "I'm stupid" or "I hate my brain"?
  • Does your child constantly chew, fidget and/or move around?
  • Does it take 2 hours for your child to do homework that other kids will do in only 30 minutes?
  • Does your child procrastinate doing his homework?
  • Has your child had difficulties in typical classroom environments as a result of a disorder such as ADHD, ADD, autism spectrum disorders, sensory integration disorder, OCD, ODD or anxiety disorders?

Now that you've taken the quiz, does this sound a lot like your child and your situation?  If so, I can help!  You don't have to go on like this anymore.  When homework time becomes a nightly battle, your child's learning experiences continue to be tainted by anger, frustration, boredom and feelings of failure.  Let's work to change those feelings of failure into feelings of success.  Don't wait another day to stop the homework chaos!

Many children with average or above-average intelligence fall behind in school because they struggle with concentration and task completion when traditional instructional and study methods are utilized.  Why have your child go to a traditional tutor to sit at a table and do work the way they do in a typical classroom, where your child has not been successful? Your child needs a new approach, supported by the latest educational and brain research.  Chaos-Free Homework Tutoring sessions are not typical tutoring sessions offered by a typical tutor.  Instead, they are specialized instructional sessions geared towards students with attentional difficulties or different learning styles.  My proven multisensory teaching techniques stimulate young brains to improve focus and learning. 

I offer two innovative programs which support families locally as well as families living in other states.  Both Chaos-Free Homework programs teach children to improve learning and complete their homework without the chaos and nightly battles your family has grown accustomed to.  A key component to both programs is the development and implementation of a customized Chaos-Free Homework Plan.  I teach parents to support their child's learning in a new way, using simple strategies and techniques to be applied in the home, and which can be transferred to the classroom as well.  

Review the following two incredible Chaos-Free Homework programs, then choose the unique program that best fits the needs of your family. 

Chaos-Free Homework Tutoring Sessions
This program includes personalized, private tutoring sessions for students.  I teach children innovative strategies and techniques that can be applied at home or in the classroom to increase attention and retention and decrease frustration and chaos.  Parents are strongly encouraged to attend at least two sessions, in which a customized Chaos-Free Homework Plan is developed and implemented  based on the specific learning and physical needs of the student.  The Chaos-Free Homework Plan will capitalize on the student's strengths to improve learning and productivity.

Chaos-Free Homework Phone Consultations
This is the perfect program for families who are unable to meet with me in person due to distance or time constraints.  I work with families across the country via phone and e-mail, so don't let a couple thousand miles stop you from getting help for your child!  This program includes personalized sessions over the phone, in which I learn about the student's needs, strengths and learning style based on a phone interview with the parents, and with the student as well, depending on the age of the child.  I create a customized Chaos-Free Homework Plan based on the specific learning and physical needs of the student, then teach and support the parents in the implementation of that plan.  The Chaos-Free Homework Plan will capitalize on the student's strengths to improve learning and productivity.
