You can’t truly understand our premium service without understanding our process. The process can be divided into four stages, which work together to provide a superior outcome.
First Session
The first session, which is a free session, is critical and establishes the basis for future mentorship. It involves gathering as much information about the student as possible through a series of fun tests. The mentor will engage the student in a lively discussion about his or her interests. Those interests will be integrated into future lessons creating motivation and a personal connection with what they are learning. The time culminates with the parent, student, and mentor discussing the student’s goals and compiling a list of deliverables against which to measure progress.
Acceptance
After the first session, you can decide to sign up for our mentoring with the convenience of a session-by-session payment schedule that allows you to cancel at any time.
Mentorship Begins
Once you sign up, we will immediately schedule an ongoing one-on-one mentorship. This mentorship will incorporate our method, (Click here to read more about our method.) which provides the student with in-depth understanding, not just memorization skills.
Our mentorship also includes helping you, the parent, find new ways to participate in and enhance your child’s learning. As part of our holistic approach, we will also make sure to get your child’s teacher’s assessment of his or her strengths and weaknesses and an accurate syllabus. We will make every attempt to include the teacher as a partner in our ongoing mentorship.
We will show your child how to integrate peers into his or her learning process. This social component can add tremendously to the success of the student.
Continual Monitoring
We believe that constant monitoring of the student’s progress is critical, but we don’t simply monitor grades. We monitor all critical activities, including:
- Progress with the mentor
- Performance in school
- Performance with the parent
We integrate all of these pieces into one coherent picture and communicate them back to you regularly. We also use what we learn to optimize our system allowing us to provide you with maximum results.
