 Local In-Home Tutoring Service Launches New Program to Help Students Become High Performers

 Tutor Doctor of Greater Hartford and Tolland County Announces X-Skills Academic Game Plan

 Vernon, CT – Tutor Doctor, a personalized one-on-one, in-home tutoring service, is offering families and schools a new way to help all students become high performers. It’s an academic Game Plan called “X-Skills”.

Studies have shown that the single greatest factor which influences student success is not academic knowledge, but academic discipline. This includes learning skills such as planning and organization, follow through and action, as well as sustained effort. All of these skills fall into a category known as Executive Functions, or “X-Skills,” which can be thought of as the skills human beings develop to execute tasks independently.

“Using our “X-Skills” process, can help students improve the skills which contribute to strong academic discipline,” said Amy Blank owner of Tutor Doctor in the Greater Hartford and Tolland County area. “Starting as early as middle school, parents are offered the opportunity to integrate X-Skills development into their student’s tutoring sessions.”

 Every student is different, which is why a one-on-one method to tutoring is used in the Tutor Doctor learning model, but “X-Skills” adds extra steps which get students started on boosting their marks in school. Together with the one-on-one tutoring model, students will build both the confidence and study skills necessary to succeed in school.

 Tutor Doctor has continually impacted the lives of students by helping them improve test scores in school.
