All students can succeed academically if given the proper tools and instruction. DTLA Academics will identify not only how a student learns, but help students master various learning strategies, organizational tools, and skills to generate academic success. Using both formal and informal assessments, together we will establish short- and long-term goals for your student. We will generate a path to develop the confidence and success your child deserves.
Expecting all children the same age to learn from the same materials is like expecting all children the same age to wear the same size clothing.

INDIVIDUALIZED INSTRUCTION
Whether a student needs to catch up or is trying to get ahead, we work with your learner to reteach concepts and complete assignments. Together we will discover how your child learns. Your student will be given tools and taught strategies. The goal is to build an academic foundation on which your student can work independently, apply strategies, and form a better understanding of themself as a student.
EDUCATIONAL CONSULTATION
Whether your child is struggling in school or you are trying to identify potential services for your child, together we will generate a learning plan which aligns with your individual student’s profile. As a learning coach, the educational therapist will give your student academic support and strategies to help them develop as learners.
TEST PREPARATION
Whether it is ISEE, HSPT, or the annual State CASP testing, we will work on the various components of the exam. A practice exam will pinpoint areas of focus and be used to generate an individual learning plan. Test taking strategies will also be integrated into the instruction.
STUDY SKILLS
Does your learner do well in everything but tests? Together we will unpack strategies on how to prepare for and apply while taking tests.
