Summer Tutoring
Some of our American Academy teachers like to offer private tutoring sessions during the summer months. We have listed those teachers here for your convenience and to give our wonderful, hard-working teachers a helping hand.
However, please note that American Academy is not involved in these private tutoring arrangements in any way. To make arrangements for summer private tutoring, you will need to contact the teachers directly using the contact info they have provided here.
Summer 2021
We will add tutors as we receive their information.

Subject(s): Emotional Regulation
GoZen! is a social-emotional online curriculum originally created to teach anxiety reduction techniques by Renee Jain. I purchased the curriculum during COVID school closure and find it to be simple and relevant. GoStrengths! is a more general curriculum that focuses on broad social and emotional skillsets. I can facilitate the lessons via ZOOM and target areas of concern based on a short intake with parents free of charge.
