Brainsmarts!
You are smart! Maybe smarter than you think...Using the theories and principles of Dr. Howard Gardner (Multiple Intelligences) and Dr. Mel Levine (All Kinds of Minds), you will "get to know" your brain and discover your learning style, strengths, and how you are smart. I have loved collaborating with students for many years, working in partnership to help them achieve academic goals, believe in their potential, and learn self advocacy, organizational, study, and time management skills. Become the successful, engaged learner you want to be!
