Learning Skills for K-12

The Manhattan University Learning Skills for K-12 students provides young learners from kindergarten to 12th-grade support in:

- Cooking (watch our video here)
- Daily School Support Activities and Projects (i.e., math, science, reading, ELA, writing)

Our individualized approach provides students the dedicated attention they need to overcome problems, balance their current class activities, and strengthen their understanding of the subject matter being learned/practiced. Our tutors, counselors, and faculty work closely with students to increase their academic skills, improve their critical/strategic thinking, learn new practical skills and/or analytical reasoning.

We offer short and focused courses and sessions on keeping students engaged in different specialties. From 30 minutes to 90-minute sessions, our sessions help them become more organized, disciplined and inspire them to be better learners depending on the students' needs.
