Our Philosophy of Teaching
“For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them (The Nicomachean Ethics).” —Aristotle
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” — William Butler Yeats
“A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.” — Bruce Lee
What makes us different.
Most tutoring companies are structured ONE WAY where tutoring feels like a CHORE, but I see the value in designing a plan the adapts & evolves to suit your child’s PASSION. My goal is to make learning an enjoyable experience and allow your child to make choices and become independent thinkers. School teaches us to follow and memorize, but what is more valuable than memorizing? Creation and innovation, which makes a greater impact and fulfills the individual.
