The tutors employed by A+ Tutoring Service are the primary drivers behind the company’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. The programs and materials they use are customized to work in concert with each student’s current coursework. This helps the student who is struggling to complete classroom work and school required homework, which 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. The tutor sits right next to the student, creating an affirming atmosphere where a child’s mistakes are corrected with the kind of language that leads to a higher level of achievement. There’s also a noted level of patience with the process, as a student sometimes must perform added exercises to fully grasp what’s being taught. Delayed gratification is emphasized over more typical rewards and kudos, and students soon get a sense that their capabilities are increasing.

A+ tutors are committed to excellence and overall quality, two primary factors that bring about results. A tutoring plan is created and followed. Adjustments are made along the way if study or organizational skills need to be addressed. Being well prepared and planning ahead help fortify a student’s skill development in reading, math and science.

Attendance is essential to success and partnerships with parents are welcomed. Formal and informal updates covering the student’s progress are provided and parents learn how to continue supportive tutoring at home. Parents are encouraged 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.
