Mindful Tutoring
Our approach improves academic skills, builds executive functioning, and relieves stress.
Expert Tutors for K-12 Subjects
Our masters-level tutors have decades of experience across all content areas of K-12 curricula.
Our tailored approach helps students efficiently meet and exceed their goals without intensive cramming or additional stress.
Mindfulness
Tutors incorporate exercises based on principles of Mindfulness-based stress reduction into sessions.
We open and close each tutoring session with a breathing and grounding exercise, and incorporate powerful resources like The Stress Reduction Workbook for Teens (Biegel), The Reverse Coloring Book (Norton), and guided meditations from Plum Village.
Promoting mental clarity enhances focus, retention, and overall learning effectiveness, and we have witnessed students make incredible academic and personal growth from small (but consistent) investments in mindfulness.
Our Approach
Our tutors speak with the student and family to understand academic goals and challenges. Tutors then provide a comprehensive content and skills assessment in order to establish baselines and identify knowledge/skill gaps. This baseline will be used to subsequently show evidence of student growth and achievement.
Tutors produce a tailored plan of study based on each student’s needs and aspirations. All study plans incorporate monthly progress checks to assess the efficacy of the tutoring.
Reading & Writing Courses
In addition to subject area tutoring, we offer specialized Short Story Skill Builder courses designed to foster a love of literature while teaching the foundations of literary analysis and persuasive writing.
