Students that use Powers Educational Services have many different learning needs. Some desire to improve their study or organizational skills. Others are looking for assistance in becoming better writers or in improving their ability to read. Many of our older students seek help in preparing for high school and college entrance exams such as the HSPT, PSAT, SAT, and ACT. In response to these demands, we have designed programs that while specific to these concerns, are also able to be individualized for each student’s special needs and particular learning style. We are also dedicated to creating new programs as new needs arise. Some recent programs include our Gifted Enrichment Program, designed to challenge those students who find themselves unfulfilled by their current education, and our Private Education Enhancement Program, designed for non-traditional students like home-schoolers who might be having trouble finding the specific program they are looking for.

All of our programs, whether they currently exist or if we design them with your needs in mind, utilize our professional Private Teachers providing dedicated, individualized one-to-one teaching. Following is a list of programs we have developed in response to our student’s needs. Please feel free to make suggestions based on your student’s needs, if you do not see a desired program listed.
