Housson Homework Helpers

Housson Homework Helpers employs a mentoring and tutoring model that emphasizes the individual needs of each student. Our coaches and students often form positive and close, working relationships based on mutual respect, accountability, and a desire for success. Through the unique, student-coach relationship, students are taught executive function skills and learning strategies. Students and coaches are also able to explore other barriers that may be interfering with their academic success.

The immediate goal of Homework Helpers is to improve the individual’s motivation, self-esteem, study skills, assignment completion, while lessening parent-student conflicts related to academics. Our long-term goal is that students master core executive function skills to achieve academic and personal independence.

Our team of homework helpers provides flexible, customized, one-on-one coaching in the home, which allows students to work comfortably in their own environments. Based on the student’s needs, our coaches will provide executive function training and/or academic assistance.
