What Parents Say About the College Study Skills Crash Course
“I can’t express how grateful we are to the exemplary academic and executive functioning support from Successful Study Skills 4 Students since my son started his freshman year in college.
We are extremely lucky to work with our assigned S4 teacher, who is highly competent and keenly attuned to support/strengthen the particular areas of weakness of my son’s study skills. Even more impressively, the tutor is sensitive to my son’s emotional state and fully understands how positive reinforcement and encouragement goes a long way to make him more able to use his coping skills, stay calm and focused.
After a stressful first month in college, my son was able to handle much heavier workload while taking care of his social-emotional well-being! I know we couldn’t have done it without S4’s well-designed curriculum centered around a neurodivergent learner like my son!
I wholeheartedly recommend S4 to any parent who has been searching for a solution which delivers results and success!”

“My daughter worked with a tutor throughout her spring semester of her sophomore year in college. She found a huge reduction in her academic stress levels from previous semesters. The one-on-one tips and planning for her midterms and finals helped her manage her time to be prepared without being overwhelmed.”
-Natalie Moore

“I hired Successful Study Skills 4 Students to prep my daughter for college. She participated in their college prep course over the summer and found it so helpful that we hired her coach for her first semester in college. She has greatly benefitted from the organizational and time management help and received straight A’s for the semester. I know she felt the assistance was extremely helpful. Thank you S4!”
