As a 6th grade teacher of 15 years, I have seen the challenges 10-13 year old learners face. This is an ideal age for learners to develop skills that will follow them throughout their academic career. I’ve had former students come back and tell me I prepared them more for college than any other secondary teacher. Helping students learn how to learn is my passion! These strategies have been proven to work, and I want to teach them to your learner to help them find success
