Our goal is to understand the unique academic situation of each client who comes to us and to develop an individualized plan that best fits that student.

  

This plan involves:

Scheduling

Devise a schedule in which tutoring sessions are conducted at a time that will best allow the student to focus during the session and maintain momentum from one session to the next.

Environment

Conduct the tutoring sessions in an environment that is conducive to learning. This is usually possible in the client’s home; however, we offer the option of meeting at our office, at a library, or at the student’s school.

Educational Resources

Select the most appropriate resource materials, giving consideration to the student’s current ability level, the expected duration of the tutoring program, and the student’s learning style.

The Perfect Tutor

Determining the ideal tutor for a student goes well beyond the academic qualifications of the tutor.  In school, it is not uncommon for a student to have a class with a teacher who is extremely well-qualified yet somehow things never “click” and the student becomes frustrated with the class.  No matter how talented the teacher, it would be unrealistic to expect that he or she would be equally effective in helping every student in the class.   

The luxury of one-to-one tutoring is that the instruction isn’t based on what will work for “most of the class.”  With a class size of one, we are able to ensure that every student is taught at the appropriate level and pace by a tutor who is not only qualified on paper, but who is also selected as the best fit for the student’s personality and learning style.

 Is the student shy or outgoing?  A worrier or laid back?  Distracted or focused?  An athlete?  A musician?  An honor student?  Hooked on computers?  Hoping for the Ivy League?  Hoping to pass Geometry?  Struggling for the first time?  Intimidated just by the word “Math”?
