OUR TUTORING PHILOSOPHY
Each student is a blessing!
And each student works at a different level -- but no matter the level of achievement and mental ability -- each student can be successful -- that's our mission --
THE SUCCESS OF EACH OF OUR STUDENT CLIENTS
Academic success is multi-dimensional!
While the academic is clearly important, we have learned that a client’s psychological confidence level may be profoundly affected by an academic deficiency. Recognizing this, our highly experienced tutoring staff takes steps to build confidence while working on the particular skill.
Furthermore we recognize that success can be at all levels of academic achievement such as:
- The insecure reader who gains confidence and improves performance
- The gifted and talented student who surpasses his/her peers
- The strong reader who struggles with math lessons and prevails
- The student who is afraid of FCAT failure
- The ADHD child who learns to be organized
- The successfully home schooled child whose parent’s are feel deficient in a particular area and therefore feel a need for support
And the many other individual situations that our clients encounter!
Utilizing the A+ Skills approach, our Tutors become the student’s coach, the “expert”, and often, the parent’s learning consultant. The very experienced Tutors establish a bond with the student to instill trust and confidence. We believe that every child has a “right” to learn and that each student can achieve academic success with the proper confidence building techniques.
Our Tutors, with well over three hundred years of collective teaching experience, will develop and implement an “A+ Skills Learning Plan ™” to achieve the student’s as well as the parent’s goals. In addition, each Tutor is carefully supervised to be sure that each child is progressing relative to that Plan.
Experience has taught us that academic success comes from following a user friendly but carefully planned process that incorporates input from the parent, the student, the teacher, and/or counselor so that everyone is “on the same page”. Call us old fashioned, but we believe that a student needs structure, particularly when we are dealing with an academic weakness!
