At Butterfly Effects, we take an ABA approach to all of our teaching, including academics. If the motivation is just right and the expectations manageable, children will learn. They are designed for learning. Applying the principles of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) to academic tutoring and test preparation, our tutors employ the tools of constant encouragement and positive reinforcement to establish a working partnership with your child.

Our tutors will come to your home at your convenience

We support both classroom and homeschool learning

Whether we are providing your child long-term academic support, test preparation, or a little help with homework to get over a rough spot, our ABA-trained tutors will identify your child's strengths and then help the student make use of them to:

• Build his or her confidence through the accomplishment of simple and then more complex tasks
• Target and improve weaknesses in fundamental basics (core competencies)
• Teach him or her how to set goals and self-monitor progress
• Improve study skills and attitudes toward studying and assignment completion

We have bilingual tutors on staff

Academic Tutoring

While most tutors are competent in the subject material they teach, so too is the classroom teacher in the subject area where your student needs that help. . . .

The difference with Butterfly Effects tutors is that each one is trained in the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, which have been used for more than 30 years to motivate behavioral changes and teach new skills.

Whatever a child's aptitude, the only way that child will achieve his or her full potential is if he or she becomes a full partner in the learning process. To accomplish this, students must:

• Have a clear understanding of the rules and expectations and the benefits that come with adhering to them
• Believe they are being listened to and truly heard
• Experience success and the acknowledgement that comes with it
• Learn how to break goals down to specific manageable tasks
• Appreciate and eventually internalize the rewards for learning

While we won't do students' homework or write their themes, we can help your child:

• Develop fundamental skills with our writing, math, and reading programs
• Bring up his or her grades in any subject area at any level
• Study for an upcoming exam
• Mentor the completion of homework assignments including writing projects
