Our Tutoring Philosophy
Those that can... TEACH!
Tutoring is more than homework help. It's about helping you learn.
As experienced math tutors, we understand each student learns differently.
Our experience also tells us, there are some basic good principles of teaching & learning math. These principles form our philosophy.
Most importantly, it's about you learning ... about math, and about your potential.
We'll be your guide as you discover math. We'll do this together. Here's how.
We Believe in YOU
We believe in every student, and that includes YOU. We know that every student can be good at math. (If someone told you otherwise, don’t listen to them!)
We Learn How YOU Like to Learn
We also understand the ways you learn the best might change with the time & the topic. So, we adapt continuously.
Our tutors are in the habit of thinking continuously about how we can improve. That's because we care about you! We want to do our very best to help you learn.
Your tutor will ask for your feedback often. This will help us choose tutoring methods that are most helpful specifically for you!
We Help YOU Balance Your Learning.
Math involves language, concepts, and techniques.
Learning math involves balancing all of these.
Learning math is easier AND more fun when you have this balance.
But far too often, math is taught in systems counterproductive to reaching this balance. A tutor can help fix this.
Your tutor will recommend activities specifically for you, so that over time, by working with your tutor, you will naturally balance your understanding of language & concepts & techniques.
We Help YOU Find the Right Place to START.
Learning happens when you start in the right place and step from familiar territory to explore something new.
- We will learn about your goals.
- We will learn what interests you.
- We will learn what parts of math feel familiar to you. That's how we find the right place to start. Then, we will know how to map a good path for your math learning journey to reach your goals.
There will be many paths we could choose to get you there.
By understanding your interests, we can help guide you to the paths that you'll find the most relevant and fun.
