Academic Enrichment
Jim Canning is a retired Professor from the University of Lowell where he was Dean of the honors college. After 30+ years of teaching, Mr Canning now offers one-on-one academic guidance, encouragement, and feedback to middle school, high school, college students, and adults who wish to excel.
Participants complete one or more academic enrichment sessions with Jim at times that are mutually convenient. Enrichment sessions are customized to suit the needs of the student, but normally include reading and retelling novels, plays, epic poems, essays, famous speeches, non-fiction texts, short stories, children’s literature, and historical documents. Some enrichment may involve watching films, old TV programs, or documentaries.
Current academic background does not matter and students work at their own pace. Along the way, study skills improve, reading comprehension increases and, hopefully, students acquire a life-long love for reading great literature and important non-fiction as they build their own view of the world: past, present, and future.
Each student will set up a date and time that is mutually convenient for Mr Canning and the student.
