About our tutoring program...

Our tutoring philosophy is that active learning gives children control over their knowledge. When a tutor helps a student to experience success the child has the confidence to try something new.

Encouragement and active lessons make the tutoring sessions enjoyable for both the tutor and the student. When the students have a positive feeling about learning, they are more likely to practice the skills needed for reading, writing and math success.

In small groups or individually, students learn a variety of ways to practice skills that build confidence. Tutors create active learning lessons that include “playing” with math manipulatives, games to learn phonics, and reading with Whisper Phones to enhance comprehension.
