Tutor Doctor’s X-Skills Program
Our 12-week foundational program supports students in developing a strong skills base that they will continue to build upon as they mature.
We follow a proven coaching methodology that allows the student to clarify and set realistic goals. Each week we work with your student to plan, commit, execute, and review the goals they set.
Regular session reports and the X-Skills Scorecard will help everyone evaluate progress and recognize the new self-awareness being developed through the coaching process.
Still Have Questions?
How is X-Skills coaching different from academic tutoring?
Academic tutoring focuses on a specific subject skill such as mathematics, chemistry, english, etc., while X-Skills coaching focuses on fundamental skills such as time management, planning, self-awareness, and others. These skills will help students not only deal with immediate academic crises, but build resilience, reduce stress, and attain long term success.
What does the program look like on a weekly basis?
The timeless principles that we follow are planning, commitment, and follow up. Each week we will meet with the student to plan and reflect on the previous week’s progress (this session can last up to 30 mins). A second check-in session will happen later in the week to assess follow-through and adapt to any changes (around 15 mins).
Why start early on?
When your child begins to practice habits early on, they are retained and strengthened throughout the process. When the brain is learning in adolescence, these skills are much more likely to remain a solidified habit that will last a lifetime! This means your child will be equipped to excel in all areas, not just academic pursuits.

Testimonials
"I’m really pleased that Ela seems to have a really good grip on her planner – it barely takes us any time to go over her due and completed tasks during Planning sessions and she has usually already set her priorities before the session."
Coach
"Benjamin definitely feels that the program is super valuable and is hoping that there will be a version that he can enroll in when he starts university next year. He just got early acceptance into the BScN program of his choice and he says x-skills really helped him keep away from the stress of being disorganized and in the end, getting the extra marks. It's a really great program thank you! ”
Parent
"Harvey's really enjoying it. It's just what he needed. Even tidying his room is part of his schedule."

“I've incorporated a lot of skills that he's taught me into just everyday life … we would figure out what I can do together based on what would work best for me”
"Harvey's really enjoying it. It's just what he needed. Even tidying his room is part of his schedule.”
“With my coach, he kept gradually bringing up my goals and it was really helpful to remind myself that I still need to achieve those. And I will achieve those.”
