Academic Excellence

At Elevate College Prep and Consulting, we provide academic support to help students succeed. Study is a long-term and even lifelong commitment, so we aim to not only help students get good grades in high school, but prepare them for a lifetime of curiosity by developing their skills as self-motivated learners.

Course Planning

Counselors at Elevate help students select their high school courses based on personal strengths, school and college requirements, and academic abilities. We consider students’ actual performance and interests rather than simply maximize their AP courseload, creating an optimization that is as personalized as each student is unique.

Study Habits

There are a multitude of skills related to academic success – responsibility, organization, time management, self-motivation – and we aim to help students develop these skills for use across the rest of their lives. We teach them how to make a study plan that ensures they have enough time to cover all the schoolwork, studying, and extracurriculars in their life. By digging deep into the personal obstacles students face and evaluating what aspects of their study habits need reinforcement, we ultimately address the root issues to bolster the end results.

Tutoring

Academic aid comes in many forms, including personal tutoring in individual subjects. Our tutors possess excellent educational backgrounds and teaching experience. Students have the option to try out tutoring sessions to find a tutor whose teaching style best suits them. Tutoring can be ongoing, for students who want continuous support, or one-time sessions to target a particular assignment or topic.

Study Hall

Our study hall is meant to provide students with a study space where they can obtain assistance as needed. Tutors are able to aid students with individual questions or entire assignments, study habit development or pure academic knowledge. Whether students need active support or just a place to focus, study hall is here to help.

College Application

The summer before a student’s senior year, we start working with them on their college applications. We look for the strongest aspects of a student’s personality and profile to enhance through the essays requested by each school, then work extensively with the student to craft genuine essays that present a unique college candidate. Our process is driven by the fact that there is no “perfect” college applicant – we take students as they are, whether we have helped them craft their high school experience or not, and help them do the best they can do.
