Teachers by trade, highly trained

  • Tutors are the primary drivers behind the A+ Tutoring’s results-oriented approach to student learning. Most come from teaching backgrounds, and all are equipped to skillfully troubleshoot a student’s areas of difficulty.
  • These leaders in learning undergo 8-to-12 hours of training in proven methods, far more than the industry standard. Programs and materials are customized to work in concert with each student’s current coursework.

Fundamentals, coursework, delayed gratification

  • Class work and school required homework becomes part of the A+ program. Tutors employ a curriculum and teaching style that focuses on fundamentals to strengthen a child’s overall ability. Workbooks used in this process are for the student to keep.
  • A student’s specific learning styles are discovered and then nurtured to improve daily performance and overall test scores. Tutors sit next to students, create an affirming atmosphere where a child’s mistakes are corrected with the kind of language that leads to a higher level of achievement.
  • The process emphasizes patience, as some students perform added exercises to fully grasp what’s being taught. Delayed gratification is emphasized over more traditional rewards and kudos. Students get a sense that their capabilities are increasing.

Excellence, preparation, partnerships

  • A+ tutors are committed to excellence and overall quality, two primary factors that bring about results. A tutoring plan is created and then followed. Adjustments are made if study or organizational skills need to be addressed.
  • Strong preparation complements a student’s developing skills in reading, math and science.
  • Attendance is essential to success.
  • Partnerships with parents are welcomed. Formal and informal updates to the student’s progress are provided and parents learn how to continue the supportive tutoring at home. Parents are welcome to observe the tutoring process of feedback, repetition and reinforcement that leads to learning success.
  • All A + Tutoring staff work to foster an atmosphere of learning.
