Customized Instruction For Every Student

At Open Think Learning, it’s vitally important to us that each student we serve gets the personalized support they need to thrive academically and cognitively. Whether your child is struggling with reading, executive functioning, or other learning challenges, we design each session to maximize their potential and strengthen essential cognitive skills. 

Before starting any tutoring sessions, our first step always includes a thorough initial assessment to pinpoint exactly which areas of learning will benefit from the most attention. This step ensures that our lessons are customized to each student’s unique needs, setting a solid foundation for future success. Whether we’re focusing on reading skills or executive functioning, the assessment helps guide our approach and ensures every minute of the session is purposeful.

Another key to our tutoring philosophy is the importance of consistency. That’s why we schedule two 50-minute tutoring sessions per week, allowing students to stay engaged and continue building on their progress week to week. This structure provides a balance of frequent, focused sessions without overwhelming students, making it easier to integrate learning into their regular routine.

Every session is carefully designed to maximize student engagement and cognitive development. The flow of each lesson is intentional, beginning with a brief warm-up, typically a logic-based game, to activate the brain and get students in the zone for learning. Games like these are more than just fun—they encourage critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, all of which are vital cognitive skills.

If your child is receiving reading support, we use a Science of Reading based, multi-sensory approach that incorporates repetition and high-leverage activities. This strategy helps build strong phonemic awareness, fluency, and comprehension skills, especially for elementary-age students. 

Sessions always end on a positive note with another brief game, reinforcing what students have learned while keeping them motivated and engaged.

While Open Think Learning works with students of all ages, we specialize in helping elementary-age children strengthen their reading skills. Our unique approach to tutoring is designed to foster strong foundational skills that set students up for academic success.

For middle and high school students, we provide targeted support focused on executive functioning. This is essential for older students who may struggle with staying organized, managing their time, and maintaining focus in a busy academic environment. With our help, students build the skills they need to succeed both in and out of the classroom.

Above anything else, we believe in each and every students’ ability to succeed and feel confident in their capabilities. We know that with a personalized, methodical approach, consistent session schedule, and emphasis on strengthening cognitive skills, every student can reach their full potential.
