Our Mission
We support our students in two-fold mastery of
academic content, concepts, life skills and strategies that will help them
succeed long-term. We believe in our
students and in their power to self-advocate and succeed in whatever goals they
set for themselves, now or in the future. Our role is providing the
individualized support, guidance and coaching they need along the way.
What Makes Us Unique?
- PLE Director and
Founder, Candace Sahm, MA Ed/HD, applies her ADHD Coaching for LIFE
approach to tutoring, test preparation and skills mastery for our
students. Ms. Sahm works closely with the tutors and students to ensure
that every session is a success and our students reach their full
potential.
- We are devoted to our
students. Our tutors are not only experienced;
they are committed to supporting their students and helping them to
succeed. We measure our success by
the progress our students make, and their improved self-confidence and
motivation.
- We pride ourselves on
being warm, loyal and caring, and of course on the progress and success of
our students.
- We are strong advocates
for improving the implementation of IEPs and 504 plans. We work closely with students and their
families as they navigate the IEP and 504 plan process.
- We know that many
students struggle with getting their assignments in on time. Therefore, we will scan and email
completed work to a student’s teachers.
We also encourage and coach our students to become more autonomous
and get their work in on their own.
- We know the importance
of brain food, so we provide all our students a healthy snack to eat
before or during their tutoring session(s).
- We know how important
exercise is for proper brain function.
Because of that we encourage exercise as part of our students’
lives and can even provide the opportunity for some light exercise before
their tutoring session(s) here.
(For more information about the benefit of exercise, please see Spark by Dr. John Ratey or his
website: http://www.johnratey.com)
- We
are GREEN! We reuse and recycle whenever possible. We also
provide billing services by email, to reduce paper waste.
