Navigating Holiday Breaks: How Liddane Tutoring Can Help

The holiday season often brings a mix of excitement and anxiety for students and parents alike. With the promise of a break from school, many plan to use this time to catch up on studies, complete college applications, and tackle overdue assignments. However, these well-intentioned plans can sometimes lead to more stress and frustration than anticipated.

The reality is that the holiday break, while seemingly perfect for catching up, can quickly become overwhelming.

First Quarter Check-in

As the first marking period of the school year comes to an end, the reality of grades can set in for many students and families.

Maintaining high grades can be difficult as the school year progresses. Some students may find themselves falling behind or struggling with challenging classes. That’s why hiring a tutor can be a smart decision. A tutor can help students master the content and skills they need to excel in their classes and can help reduce the stress and pressure that students and their families may feel.

Back to School Preparedness

Preparing for the new school year is essential. As experienced educators at Liddane Tutoring, we work with students of all ages and have over twenty years of experience seeing firsthand how certain strategies can make a significant impact on students' readiness.

When we work on making a plan for a student, we start with assessing prior knowledge- really understanding where each student stands academically. Out experienced tutors (many of them are teachers too) identify any gaps or areas that need reinforcement. We set goals and collaborate with students and their families to set realistic academic goals for the upcoming year. Out tutors work closely with students on study skills and organization, including effective time management techniques and note taking strategies.

We offer subject specific readiness, including reviewing foundational concepts for mathematics, as well as practicing problem-solving. Our language arts support can include strengthening reading comprehension, writing skills and making sure summer reading lists are complete and understood.

We discuss coping strategies for academic stress and share tools to support students’ overall well-being. At Liddane, we believe any student can be successful. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to schedule a call to discuss what your student might need to set them up for a great back to school.

Why Executive Function Matters

At Liddane, we want our tutors and our students to develop and share skills that will support the efforts of each. That is why most of our tutors are trained in executive function and why we work with many adults and students on how to make the most of their brains. 

Executive function skills are a set of cognitive processes that help individuals plan, monitor, and execute their goals. It is a crucial aspect of our daily lives that enables us to think, act, and solve problems. Foundational skills such as response inhibition, working memory, emotional control, flexibility, sustained attention, and task initiation are essential for developing executive functioning abilities. These skills allow us to focus on relevant sensory information, organize our environment or schedule, inhibit behavior that flouts social expectations and norms, plan for the future, mentally evaluate the possible outcomes of different problem-solving strategies, choose actions based on the likelihood of positive outcomes, estimate time and effort necessary to achieve an outcome, and initiate tasks necessary to carry out decisions.

Advanced executive functioning skills such as planning, prioritizing, organization, time management goal-directed persistence, and metacognition are necessary for living independently and competently. These skills enable us to learn new information, keep new or recent information in our minds, and use this information to solve problems of everyday life. They also help us improve our abilities to stay focused, plan ahead, regulate our emotions, think flexibly and creatively. In conclusion, executive functioning is a vital aspect of our cognitive abilities that helps us all thrive.

NEW YEAR, NEW EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING SKILLS.

Taking breaks is crucial for cognitive rejuvenation, stress relief, creativity, focus, physical health, memory consolidation, procrastination prevention, social interaction, and sustained long-term productivity. Research shows that learning is promoted by periods of rest in between practice times so that a skill can be consolidated while awake.

At Liddane, we support our students taking breaks when learning, especially in light of the last year, when many have had to navigate increased school -life balance issues with coming out of the more isolated pandemic years.  In fact, taking breaks is part of the work we do with students and adults of all ages gaining better executive functioing skills.

Executive functions are the skills that help us plan, organize, solve problems, and manage time. We all have challenges with executive functions sometimes, but for some students, these challenges can interfere with their academic, social, and personal goals. That's why we offer executive function coaching to help students improve their executive skills and achieve more.

Adults can also benefit from executive function coaching. Whether you are a college student, a professional, an adult with ADHD, or a lifelong learner, our executive function experts can help you set and stick to your goals. If you are working with one of our tutors on an advanced subject, you can also get help with planning and accountability. Our tutors and coaches can help you make the most of your study time and reach your full potential.

Executive function coaching is not just a study skills class. It is a personalized learning plan that you co-create with your tutor or coach based on your needs and goals. You will learn how to use your strengths, develop a growth mindset, and apply your skills to different situations. You will also build a practical and personal toolkit that will help you become a more independent and confident learner. The goal is not only to do well in school, but to develop lifelong habits and strategies for success. Reach out to learn more.
