Description
Our fundamental belief at Freudigman & Billings is that children learn best in the context of supportive relationships.

We are committed to helping students better understand how they learn and how they can take ownership of that learning.

Our team provides educational solutions for adolescents and children through individual assessment, personally tailored learning programs, and one-on-one coaching.


Freudigman & Billings uses a unique approach to standardized test preparation that focuses on critical thinking, applied reasoning, and problem solving strategies.

We help students understand fundamental principles about how the world of information is organized and how they can interact with that information.

This process does not involve the rote memorization of vocabulary or inundation of practice questions that many associate with "test prep." Instead, we focus on teaching students effective strategies for gathering, sequencing, categorizing, and classifying information from text and visual sources.

These processes contribute to a student's ability to reason, solve problems, make inferences, and draw conclusions.
