Kids deserve a chance to shine in their academic lives. Many students who struggle have been told too often that they are not doing enough, or are not paying attention, when they are in fact doing everything they can to stay afloat academically. We first work to help students realize the high expectations their teachers and parents have of them. We then assist them in building their skills, organizing their thoughts, and communicating their ideas so that they may meet and exceed those expectations.

Here at LakeView/Lake Forest Academic Services we see every child's learning style as unique, having strengths that have gotten them to progress to this point. We work to find the strengths within the child first, and then help them through our tutoring services to build upon those strengths so that they can be empowered to feel success in their schoolwork and personal lives. We use research based and classroom proven methodologies to assist children to develop their potential and achieve their goals.

To accomplish these goals we employ tutors and academic coaches of the highest quality. We have tutors for Math, Science, History, Reading, and Writing. All tutors are either certified teachers or Phd level graduate students. All tutors are well experienced with all learning styles and have gone through extensive background checks.

We work with students in grades K-12 of all ability levels. Tutors have experience working with students with dyslexia, add, adhd, and learning difficulties. Additionally, many of our tutors have worked with gifted and twice exceptional (2e) students to help them find enrichment and motivation in their academic programs.

Tutors work in-home in the Chicagoland, Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, and Libertyville areas to help students gain confidence and achieve better grades. Tutors work with the parents and students to help children learn organizational and study skills to gain academic success and become independent. Tutors can also act as advocates in the IEP process as liaisons with schools and teachers.
