Our Approach

Unlike traditional academic tutoring or mentoring programs that are narrowly focused, at Soar we take a holistic approach toward building our students' executive functioning skills (study skills, organization, time management, and more) grounded in a social-emotional learning framework. After all, skills developed in a narrow, isolated manner rarely stick.
Our students have a dedicated coach that will work one-on-one allowing for the development of a trusting relationship. This guarantees our students another educator that deeply cares about their well-being while at the same time someone that will hold them accountable in a gentle yet nonsense manner.
Our coaching and tutoring sessions have a predictable and structured framework focused on social-emotional learning and executive functioning skill development that is applied to ACT, SAT, or other standardized tests and/or any content area. This structured framework work ensures that every minute of each session is intentionally utilized so that students will be sure to soar.

Our coaching and tutoring sessions are easily accessible in that they are held virtually. Therefore the hassle of traveling to a brick and mortar location is eliminated.
Our academic coaches and tutors are highly experienced, diverse, certified teachers that undergo extensive training and ongoing development in the area of academic coaching and tutoring. Moreover, all coaching curriculum has been vetted and developed by master-level educators.
Students that are part of the Soar Academic Coaching & Tutoring program will have lifelong access to a unique study skills app, SOAR’s Learning & Soft Skills App.
