Jonathan and his team start from the premise that each individual student learns differently, has different strengths and weaknesses, and therefore needs a tutor who possesses deep knowledge and experience, as well as the ability to quickly assess how a lesson or strategy is connecting with that student and adapt accordingly. That acuity and flexibility allows us to adapt our strategies based on our students’ responses. In practical terms, that means having the patience, determination and subject mastery to explain any given concept in myriad ways until we find the one that works best. In order to assess our students’ progress, we try to gather as much relevant information from parents and teachers in order to determine where knowledge and skills gaps exist, before targeting those areas as methodically and comprehensively as possible. Ultimately, we strive to equip our students with the organizational skills, study habits and critical thinking faculties that will serve them well throughout their lives and lay the groundwork for their future success.
