X-Skills Tutor
A Game Plan For Academic Success
At Tutor Doctor, we recognise that academic success depends on two factors: academic knowledge and academic discipline. As each student is unique, we tailor our methods to assist your child in acquiring the required expertise and skills to reach academic excellence and accomplish future success in life.
That is why we provide a personalised plan for success to every student during enrollment and guide them through the process. This enables students to acquire the necessary executive skills, also known as “X-Skills,” which are crucial for their academic achievement, especially during middle school and beyond.

Why Are X-Skills Important?
Building X-Skills is important for your child’s academic and personal growth. These skills are crucial for success in various areas of life, such as employment and hobbies.
We empathise with the difficulties that arise when attempting to learn a difficult subject without the proper resources. Therefore, we collaborate with students to develop the essential skills required for academic excellence while simultaneously supporting the classroom curriculum.
What Does Our Game Plan Include?
Task initiation and follow-through
We ensure that your child is able to identify their goals, create a plan of action and then follow through on the action steps.

All of these X-Skills are incorporated into our unique game plan, which is designed to help each student become an academic champion! From mathematics to exam preparation, your child can tackle any educational hurdle when they master these X-Skills with the help of our private in-home and online tutors.
What To Expect In An X-Skills Game Plan
Students in primary and high school and higher are guided by their tutor to use the X-Skills Game Plan. The tutor serves as an academic coach to explain concepts, provide motivation, and encourage students to surpass their own expectations.
The Game Plan is a helpful tool that assists students in organising both their academic and extracurricular tasks. By prioritising these tasks and developing a plan, students can achieve success without compromising their quality of life. Using the Game Plan leads to efficient tutoring sessions and contributes to the development of important X-Skills that are beneficial both in school and in life.
