Summer 2021 Summer Scholar Programs
We signed Grace up for the Summer Scholar Program because she barely passed geometry as a freshman. We all knew she was able to get good grades in math, she just needed a good teacher to light that spark! She wasn't too sure at first about tutoring over the summer, but she really loved working with Elizabeth. Now it's October and algebra 2 is already going much better than this time last year. 
Learn from home this summer!

Summer Session 1: June 7 - July 2
(12 one-hour sessions total - scheduled approx. 3x/week) Summer Session 2: July 13 - August 21 (12 one-hour sessions total - scheduled approx. 2x/week) Choose from one-on-one tutoring to get ready for next school year, get ready for the ACT/SAT, or write essays for college applications! Our Summer Scholar Programs help students entering 5th-12th grades and college. Our Summer Scholar Programs include one-on-one tutoring that is customized to meet the unique needs of each student. If you're worried about gaps that remote learning has left in your student's understanding of math and science - and especially if your student struggled in math and science before remote learning began - look no further than the dedicated, experienced, and talented team at Empowered Learning (formerly Illini Tutoring)! Students can also prep one-on-one for the ACT or SAT through the Summer Scholar Program. Convenient Scheduling When you register, you'll give us your student's availability, and you'll also give us your student's conflicts. We'll schedule your student at times that work in your student's summer schedule! The Right Level of Challenge for YOUR Student Our summer tutoring program is designed so that students of all academic levels can be challenged. Students come to Empowered Learning (formerly Illini Tutoring) for a wide variety of reasons: some students want to get better grades next year, and other students just want to maintain what they've learned this past year. Some students want to get higher ACT/SAT scores, and other students are worried about submitting their very best writing with their college applications. All of our programs inspire students to learn for the sake of learning, while also giving them invaluable math fundamentals, science skills, and writing finesse that will help them do better in future classes. Geared Toward Your Student's School & Goals Empowered Learning (formerly Illini Tutoring) has extensive knowledge of the curriculum of our local public and private schools because we've worked with thousands of local students over the past 10 years. We know what students at each school are expected to know as incoming students and we are very familiar with the challenges that many students face in the classroom. We also know the gaps that many area students have when it comes to applying to and going to college. That's why we've created a customizable program that can help any student develop lifelong habits that will help them do better in school next year and every year! |
Summer Scholar Program 2021:
Empowered Learning
For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, all tutoring and classes will be held on Zoom. After our instructors have been fully vaccinated, we will begin to welcome back fully-vaccinated students. Because of the small size of our offices and the nature of tutoring (we are very close to each other for about an hour!), we cannot maintain safe social distance during tutoring. Any student can meet their instructor by Zoom for any session!
We take student safety very seriously - our Zoom sessions are locked with a password, Zoom links are sent only to students and their parents, and waiting rooms ensure only registered students are allowed to enter the session. We are happy to discuss our safety protocols with students and their grown-ups!
