Tutoring Reinforces Classroom Education

Even the best schools and teachers can't provide individualized attention to all students. Learning styles also differ and may not be accommodated by teachers. 

Tutoring reinforces classroom education.In-home #tutoring provides time for one-to-one interaction that reinforces skills and allows for better comprehension of subjects. Our tutors review lessons taught in school, motivate students and assist with homework. Students can also pre-learn a concept. Learning a complex subject becomes easier when 
they walk into a classroom already aware of a topic, providing a competitive edge.


Our tutors know how to recognize a student's strengths and weaknesses and can provide materials that supplement the textbook. They offer detailed, constructive feedback, and also teach study skills such as scheduling, note taking, strategies for reading complex materials, and more. 

Key Academics was recently voted "Best of Montco Tutoring Service" in a poll of readers of several local newspapers. Our tutoring programs help students maximize academic performance in the classroom, and make learning interesting and fun.

FAFSA Changes Submission Dates For 2017-18

In September, President Obama announced significant changes to the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process that will impact millions of students. Starting next year, students will be able to do the following:

  • Submit a #FAFSA Earlier:  Students will be able to file a 2017-18 FAFSA as early as Oct. 1, 2016, rather than beginning on Jan. 1, 2017. The earlier submission date will be a permanent change, enabling students to complete and submit a FAFSA as early as Oct. 1 every year. (There is NO CHANGE to the 2016-17 schedule, when the FAFSA will become available Jan. 1 as in previous years.)
  • Use Earlier Income Information: Beginning with the 2017-18 FAFSA, students will report income information from an earlier tax year. For example, on the 2017-18 FAFSA, students (and parents, as appropriate) will report their 2015 income information, rather than their 2016 income information. 

If you’d like more details about the upcoming changes, you may read the following informational pieces from the U.S. Department of Education and the White House:
