The Growth Track

the 3-month, subject-specific course

Focused Progress in the Subject That Matters Most

Sometimes the fastest path forward isn’t a full overhaul — it’s closing one specific, well-defined gap. The Growth Track is a 3-month, subject-specific course built around exactly that: real, targeted instruction in the one area holding your teen back, using what we already know about how they learn.

What This Looks Like

  • Subject-specific focus — built around the class or skill area actually causing the struggle, not generalized tutoring that doesn’t hit the mark.
  • A 3-month timeline with a clear endpoint — a defined start and finish, so progress is measurable, not open-ended.
  • Instruction built on the evaluation — every session is shaped by what we already know about how your teen processes and learns, not a generic curriculum.
  • Test readiness, when relevant — including preparation that can matter well beyond a single grade, like the PSAT junior year, which opens the door to National Merit and other merit-based scholarship consideration many families don’t realize is on the table.

Who This Is For

Students with one or two specific subject gaps who need focused, structured help to close them — not a full year-long commitment.
