Ace Academics is an individualized, writing-focused learning center.  We welcome learners from 3rd grade through adulthood who aim to meet expectations in the classroom, the workplace, and the world.  Our blend of comprehensive assessment tools, leading-edge methodology, and gifted instructors is like no other. There are reasons for ineffective writing and we know what they are. We also know how to explain it so our students understand why their writing isn’t getting the job done. Together, we make progress toward mastering a skill that will serve them for a lifetime. Spot on assessment.  Superior student-instructor connection.  Structured course correction.  Success.

Individualized instruction at Ace Academics begins with tutors who can connect to the student, and reduce large bodies of knowledge into digestible parts that feed every student’s natural appetite for mental stimulation one bite at a time.  Learning looks like a popcorn ball – it starts with one sticky kernel.  A second kernel sticks to the first one and is joined by additional kernels until the pattern is complete.  Some of our tutors are naturals.  Others had a tough time learning, themselves.  Either way, they recognize and respect each student as a unique person whose ball of popcorn grows in its own way at its own pace.  We believe that every student with the desire to learn can learn.

Measurable results are attainable with the kind of personal and individualized attention we provide at Ace Academics.  Our tutors are subject-area masters, expertly matched with their students to maximize the effectiveness of their time together.  Strong study skills prepare students to meet teacher expectations, and our homework tutors are experienced organizers ready to share systems that really work.

Process we use to help Children and Adults become good writers:

1. Identify error patterns

2. Teach writers to recognize errors in their own writing

3. Help writers understand the reasons why their writing is error-prone

4. Teach writers to avoid the errors they have learned to recognize and understand

5. Help writers move from self-expression to recognizing and communicating with their audience

6. Leave writers with individualized tools for maintaining effective writing patterns

7. Provide individualized follow-up and reinforcement programs
