Welcome to Marika Costa Learning.

Parents, in the past, education has been left up to the schools. Now with a more demanding curriculum, there is the growing expectation that you play an increasingly active role in your child’s education. Understanding how to help your child has become more important than ever. So, where to begin?

Kids are not all the same---you know that. They are unique in how they take in, process, and use information and this impacts every aspect of their life--- especially education. One child needs to “do” in order to learn. Another needs to read it in order to get it. One processes information in a step by step, sequential manner, while another sees the big picture without taking in the details. Some are comfortable with people while others are comfortable with numbers. Your child’s learning profile affects all areas of education: goal setting, study skills, test taking skills, organization of thoughts and ideas as well as personal space, strategies for increasing memory retention, time utilization, and motivation.
