Description

Specialties

All of our professional full-​time tutors have over 10 years of experience in teaching at various levels and hold at least two earned doctorates. We tutor students from elementary school through post-​graduate studies in a variety of subjects and tests.

Our approach is conceptual in nature; therefore, we are able to explain and teach the fundamentals of every subject in multiple ways. We do not reiterate classroom teaching, which, for the most part, is procedural and non-​retentive. We endeavor to convey understanding instead of rote.

We consider every student’s personal needs in education and customize the lessons. We do not perform «canned» teaching.

History

Established in 1968.

Our tutors have taught at various levels in public and private schools and universities. We abhor politics and inconsistencies found throughout the school system. We have endeavored to reform the educational system in this country to no avail although schools in other countries and some schools in this country have adopted our philosophy.

We enjoy teaching and seek the joy of our students experiencing epiphany. We understand that the methods required to bring this about is different for each student. We know that we have to be enough expert to be able to explain each and every concept in a number of different ways and to place the concept and subject into a real-​life framework. We believe that a teacher/​tutor must be an expert not only in teaching skills, but also in the very subject he is teaching.

We found no such organization or school in our searches. Therefore, we created one.
