Proud Partner of Rainier Scholars

Andrea Liddane at Rainier Scholars Luncheon

I was recently delighted to recognize and celebrate the work of Rainier Scholars at their BOLD MOVES Luncheon. This powerful organization continues to do amazing work in the community. We have partnered with Rainier Scholars for many years. Their mission is to “cultivate the academic and leadership potential of underrepresented students of color through rigorous, transformative opportunities that increase college graduation rates and empower new generations of leaders."

I am proud of the work they are doing and glad to be able to use our strengths together to help “envision a more just and inclusive society with equitable representation of people of color at all levels of leadership and influence.” Learn more about our partnerships and how we work in collaboration with organizations to support learning through all ages and communities.

Final Exam Season : Tips for Student Athletes

The demands and realities of student athletes’ schedules and being the best student possible can be a challenging juggling act, especially during finals. Intentionality delivers results. Here are some of our tried-and-true tips for exam season success. The Liddane Tutoring team believes you can navigate these challenges more easily using suggestions below, with support from coaches, teammates and study support people to kick it out of the park! If you need individual support, let us know how we can help. Good luck!

  • Plot out a study calendar. Spend 15 minutes writing down the steps for what you need to do and when. Be as specific as possible.

  • Consciously map out team practices, extracurriculars, and whatever else you have going on, especially prior to tests. Add to your calendar for visual reminders.

  • Set meetings with teachers now. Keep a running list of questions so meetings can be as productive as possible.

  • Figure out your study support people. Reach out to a classmate or bring together a group of friends who will truly help you study. Create a team study group of other players who will encourage you to use your time wisely at tournaments or away games. Encourage them back.

  • Tutors can really help before tests. If you decide to work with one, set those appointments. Keep a running list of questions going and send it ahead of time if you can so your tutor can be best prepared for you.

  • Review the class syllabus to understand what will be asked on the tests. What are the big questions?

  • Make flash cards/study cards (Quizlet or paper–whatever works best for you).

  • Review and explain the content to someone else.

  • Take care of yourself during exam periods. As much as you are able, eat well, drink water, get enough sleep, deep breathe, and move your body.
