Introduction: Since we began offering tutoring in Menlo Park in 1976, our philosophy has been simple yet inspired: Students who develop self-understanding gain self-confidence and make educational progress to achieve their academic goals. Everything we do reflects that philosophy.
We are professional educators and learning specialists who build supportive relationships through one-on-one tutoring and other education-focused efforts to foster student understanding and achieve progress in learning. Simple subject mastery is only a starting point; our students are taught to evaluate and overcome or compensate for learning challenges. We carefully match each student with a tutor, learning specialist, or other specialist for the best fit, so we consider student learning style, specialist teaching style, and even personality.
Once we determine an individual's learning profile, we develop a plan, monitor progress, and update the plan as needed. Our staff has the flexibility and broad skills to overcome immediate impediments to educational progress, while developing and fine tuning longer-term strategies for success. We work collaboratively, benefiting from our staff's wide range of experiences.
