About
“Students Taking Action Reach Success” embodies our belief that when we empower students to take an active role in their learning process and their education, they will achieve successful outcomes.
We believe in the team approach to supporting students, and will collaborate with home and school to develop a tutoring/coaching plan that supports students in achieving their goals across environments. We value student privacy and prioritize keeping all client information confidential.
We offer a variety of services, including:
Individualized instructional programs
Executive function skill building
Study skills classes
Parent and teacher training
Collaborative team approach to tutoring, involving student, parents and teachers
When your child is “in session”please feel free to relax in our waiting room or do some errands in Freeport. If you leave STARS during your child’s session, please return ten minutes prior to the ending time so the coach has an opportunity to check in with you and review the session. If you are late returning, your child’s coach may not have a chance to check in with you, as they may be working with another student. If you wait in the waiting room, please be mindful of other families and take cell phone calls outside. Also, please be considerate of our students working, and of our neighbors at Roach Sanchez Law and use “library voices” while in the building.
Upcoming events
Please check the bulletin board in the waiting room for notices about upcoming educational events at STARS or in the community. If you hear of a seminar or speaker that may be of interest to STARS families, please let us know and we can post it on the board.
We are always interested in your questions and thoughts. Please contact us anytime to set up a meeting or phone conference if you have something to share. We are so pleased to have you as part of our STARS community and look forward to partnering with you on behalf of your child!
