Caveat Academic Services

Study skills and transitions

The habits that carry a student into college.

Grades follow habits: planning the week, starting early, asking for help. Caveat builds those habits around the student's real classes, and helps with the big handoffs: into high school, out of it, and through the first semester of college. Not subject tutoring.

Where most families start

Everything in study skills and transitions

• Weekly accountability check-ins$149 per monthA 20-minute weekly check-in on the student's regular high school classes: what is due, what got done, and the plan for the week. Planning and follow-through, not tutoring. Cancel any time.
• Study skills sessions$199 three sessionsThree one-on-one sessions on planning, time and follow-through, built around the student's real classes. Not subject tutoring.
• Semester reset$75One session to untangle a heavy high school workload: what is due, what can move, and a plan for the next three weeks.
• College readiness report$99Three practice weeks in different subjects and a written report for parents: strengths, gaps, and what to start on.
• Summer study skills bootcamp$299Four weeks, small group, online: planning, focus, note-taking and how to handle a college-style week, with a parent summary at the end.
• Summer plan$99A summer that counts: a job, a program, a course or a project, chosen for the student's goals and budget, with a week-by-week plan.
• High School Launch for 8th graders$150Before 9th grade: course selection that keeps options open, two study habits to start on day one, and a first look at a four-year plan.
• IEP or 504 to college$150High school plans don't carry over to college on their own. This takes the family through registering with the college's disability services office.
• Senior launch$150From admitted to ready: the college portal, housing and orientation deadlines, first-semester registration, and a study plan for the first term.
• First semester of college check-ins$199Four monthly calls through the first semester of college, so a student has someone checking in while the habits settle. The student leads; parents get a short note if the student agrees.
• Family check-in membership$29 per monthOne 20-minute call a month and reminders for every deadline that matters to the family. Cancel any time.
• Family check-in plan$49 per monthThe family check-in membership for every sibling at once: one call a month per student and every family deadline on one list. Cancel any time.

Questions families ask

Is this tutoring?

No. Caveat doesn't teach subjects. It covers planning, time and follow-through, and points students to their teachers and school help for content.

What do parents see?

A short note after sessions or each month, with what the student agreed to work on. Private things a student says stay private.

Can my college student still get help?

Yes. First-semester check-ins run four monthly calls from August to December, led by the student.
