Approach
What is our approach to helping students learn?
Minted Minds Tutoring has a core belief that ALL children can be successful when given the appropriate support. After review of student skills/test reports and conducting our own assessment, we will develop an individualized learning plan that meets the student exactly where they are, taking the necessary steps to get them on the path and level they need to be on. Each student will work on proficiency of fundamental reading and math skills as needed, then guided to achieve independence in their thinking and performance. Please do not expect answers to be given to your student. This practice does not help with progress.
Students will review different strategies and focus on various ways of arriving to a solution. This approach helps to increase critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Our goal is to help students refocus their thinking so that they can increase their comprehension of previously learned skills while leading themselves to their own conclusions when faced with new or unfamiliar material. Thinking leads to learning to more thinking and more learning. We work to optimize both.
Our expectation is that each student and tutor give their best in each session. We want students to have a voice, feel a part of the learning plan, and take responsibility for their own learning. These skills will extend into the classroom boosting confidence and performance. A renewed mind considers more perspectives and increases its capability to accomplish goals. With the right support, ALL kids can achieve.
