North Star Academics boasts a unique team of educators with strong backgrounds in essential academic fields and comprehensive training in therapeutic approaches. Our instructors act as both subject tutors, learning coaches and strategy guides. They also collaborate with schools to provide tailored support for each student. Using detailed assessments, we match young people with instructors who can help bridge any learning gaps and also foster executive functioning skills, such as attentiveness and self-regulation at a comfortable pace.
Our team of educators has over 20 years of combined educational experience in teaching and administration, with advanced degrees from leading universities and highly coveted fellowship programs from around the globe. Most importantly, our team is comprised of Black and POC educators who have matriculated through the schools many of our students and families (plan to) attend. Our team is trained to ensure comprehensive academic and subject development, organizational support, and often serve as a liaison between students, families and institutions — an important step within our holistic approach.
