Our Learning Approach
How We Work with Your Child — Personalized. Research-Based. Built on Care.
1.
We Start with the Right People
We recruit passionate college students and aspiring educators, then teach them how to teach.
Our tutors are trained in instructional strategies, neurodiversity, trauma-informed care, and behavior support.
Why it matters:
Research shows that peer-based, near-age mentorship boosts engagement and connection — especially when paired with evidence-based teaching strategies (DuBois et al., 2011).
2.
We Learn Your Child
Before instruction begins, we take the time to understand your child’s needs, strengths, and learning style. We listen to families and collaborate with therapists or educators when helpful.
-
We may recommend a consult with a child’s therapist to align goals and support strategies.
-
We adapt for learning differences, executive function needs, and language development.
Why it matters
When children are understood and supported as whole people, learning improves. Brain research confirms that emotional safety and adult attunement activate learning pathways.
3.
We Build a Plan
From the beginning, we design a custom learning plan — not just for academics, but for self-confidence and independence.
-
Each plan includes instructional goals, scaffolded supports, and flexible check-ins.
-
Tutors follow the plan with fidelity — but adapt in real time to keep your child growing.
Why it matters
Students benefit most from instruction that is responsive, individualized, and consistent over time. This kind of personalization leads to stronger outcomes than standard tutoring models (Fuchs et al., 2018; Slavin, 2020).
4.
We Stay Connected
We track your child’s progress with honesty and heart. Tutors share weekly reflections, and families are part of the process.
-
Transparent communication and clear checkpoints
-
Collaborative adjustments when needs shift
Why it matters
Ongoing feedback loops between tutors, families, and support providers improve learning outcomes and reduce frustration (Durlak et al., 2011).
