Ever heard of the “summer slide?” Betsy de Vega, Learning Specialist and founder of the Kn.I.L.E. Center says, “The loss of academic skills and knowledge during the summer break is very real. It varies by child, but a loss of at least a month of knowledge is not uncommon.”

But how do you “kick start” academics before school starts? With EduCoachNow, the cornerstone tutoring program offered by the Kn.I.L.E Center.  Betsy says, “What sets EduCoachNow apart from traditional tutoring programs is that we really focus on strengthening cognitive skills…the critical skills for learning. Much of the training is multi-sensory and game-oriented. Students love it…and what’s better than learning when you don’t know you are learning? We create confident students who attack and process information––no matter the subject––more effectively!”

Bring your child in August and the EduCoachNow team will identify cognitive areas that need work and get that brain jump started…but the process doesn’t stop there. Betsy says, “Continue after-school sessions in September and we’ll ‘use the backpack’…we’ll continue to build cognitive skills while incorporating what your child is working on at school!”

With prices competitive to traditional tutors, EduCoachNow is one-on-one, pay-as-you-go cognitive training….with an added benefit. Betsy says, “Everyone involved in your child’s educational process needs to be on the same page. When your child is enrolled in EduCoachNow, I will personally attend parent-teacher conferences or ARD meetings with you if desired…at no extra charge. Advocating for your child’s education is part of the EduCoachNow program.”

In addition to EduCoachNow, the Kn.I.L.E. Center hosted a series of successful summer camps and is home to Kn.I.L.E. Prep Academy. At Kn.I.L.E. Prep, students of all learning abilities––those who are accelerated and those who need extra support––enjoy a state-of-the-art curriculum in a cozy, boutique-style school. Kn.I.L.E Prep is accepting enrollment for grades 3 through 12 (the first day of school is August 22).
