The Gruenbaum Academy

When it comes to education, do you want your child to go far beyond what he/she is learning at school?
Through the Gruenbaum Academy, David Benjamin Gruenbaum teaches students a powerful, unique curriculum that enhances not only scholastics skills and abilities, but also introduces a completely different way to learn.

The curriculum offered at the Gruenbaum Academy covers seven essential disciplines which provide a magnificent overarching system for both improved study skills and learning disciplines.

1. Pre ACT/SAT Overview

Through the Pre ACT/SAT overview, Academy students will become familiar with and begin to learn the styles, format, and content of both the ACT and SAT college entrance exams without the pressure of an actual test to prepare for.

2. Improved Test-Taking and Study Skills

Many students struggle with test-taking. And, because every student is unique, one-size-fits-all approaches to test-taking usually fail, Gruenbaum Academy teaches students first how to identify their individual test-taking weaknesses and then how to start overcoming these issues.

In addition, David Benjamin Gruenbaum teaches students the best way to prepare for tests, how to achieve and maintain focus, and how to make important decisions during tests. Moreover, through Gruenbaum Academy, students learn how to approach and complete their homework in the quickest and most efficient manner.

3. High-Level English Vocabulary

Almost forgotten by Common Core State Standards, English vocabulary gathering skills in school are often at best an afterthought. The Gruenbaum Academy helps students to develop a lost, crucial skill: Acquiring and mastering a robust and comprehensive English vocabulary that will be useful in speech, scholarly papers, at work and throughout life.

Designed to help high school and middle school students achieve their highest potential.

From test prep to study skills, we work with individuals and groups in a home, online or school setting. If you are a parent or school administrator, find out what we can do for your students.

4. Speed Reading and Comprehension

The Gruenbaum Academy program equips students with skills that can help them to read more quickly and efficiently. Under the guidance of David Benjamin Gruenbaum, students learn a masterful skimming technique which allows them to find answers to questions much more quickly. This skill pays dividends in both high school and college when students have to read an immense amount of material in college. David Benjamin Gruenbaum also employs his unique methods to show students how to extract important main ideas from “filler” reading material.

Wouldn’t it be nice if your child could both read faster and more efficiently? The Gruenbaum Academy can solve both of these issues.

5. Math

Rather than working through math problems the “proper” way, students will learn completely new methods to solve math problems. David Benjamin Gruenbaum’s revolutionary math methods teach students how to take advantage of multiple choice formats, how to hone logic and reasoning skills (instead of memorizing math formulas), and how to overcome math “killers’ like careless errors, “overdoing” problems, etc. Often Gruenbaum Academy helps “weak” math students transform into much stronger math students.

6. Common Core Chart and Graph Reading

Common Core State Standards for math introduce chart and graph reading to students beginning in the 4th grade. Unfortunately many schools just whip through this vital skill, which is crucial not only in elementary school, but in middle and high school as well. In addition, chart and graph reading is now a large part of the SAT. In the Gruenbaum Academy, students learn the best and quickest way to read charts and graphs.

7. CrossLinguistics

CrossLinguistics is David Benjamin Gruenbaum’s completely new method of learning vocabulary in multiple languages simultaneously. CrossLinguistics teaches the interrelationship of Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German and English.

Rather than Latin, the Gruenbaum Academy uses English as the core language. Everything is categorized so that students can learn groups of words in several languages rather than just memorizing words one by one. The unique Crosslinguistics method also ensures greater learning speed and language retention.
