A common misconception about tutoring services is that students are given easy access to old exams, and are taught only the material needed to make good grades. While some tutoring services do not teach at all, A+ Tutoring instead offers its students comprehensive lectures to build a strong foundation and prepare students for upper-level courses. Our unique teaching methods are designed to offer students the comfort of a group environment and the most effective results. Rather than teaching students how to quickly prepare for exams, we ensure that they master the course material and develop problem solving skills applicable in the future.
This is tutoring at its FINEST, whether you are the struggling, average, or exceptional student!
A+ Tutoring provides a strategic learning environment to help struggling students in a variety of ways: we take complex concepts, break them down, and present the material in a very methodical, step-wise fashion. This approach allows students to master one piece of the puzzle at a time and grasp the BIG PICTURE, rather than bombard them with complex concepts they may not understand in usual classroom settings. The material is presented at a pace that any student can follow, regardless of their learning needs or level of understanding. Each student is able to participate and become more involved in the learning process as we elaborate and discuss each step in detail. We encourage our students to ask questions and make sure that they understand each idea before moving on to another topic of discussion.
Average students often makes the mistake of only learning concepts well enough to make a desired grade on an upcoming exam; they may not have a great understanding of the material, but are good at retaining a lot of information for the time needed. Others are often capable of making grades that are well above average; however, they are simply unwilling to devote the time that is needed to understand the more difficult concepts that would allow them to achieve exceptional grades.
In addition to teaching a step-wise approach to solving problems, we teach the logic behind each step, which is essential to students' understanding of the concept. When a student does not understand the logic behind a concept, they memorize the material and are only able to recall it for one or two exams. Once the student is responsible for remembering concepts for a cumulative final, they realize that they are not capable of recalling so much information and they do not understand all of the material. At A+ Tutoring, the student will learn the appropriate skills and thought processes that they can then recall and apply for the duration of their college and professional careers.
We refer to "exceptional students" as those who do not require any extra help in attaining the grades that they desire. In a normal classroom lecture, students are often taught problem-solving methods that are more difficult than necessary, due to the sheer complexity of the material.
Fortunately, there are often more efficient and simpler ways to solve problems. At A+ Tutoring, we incorporate the knowledge of the courses with our equations, logic, and procedures that will save any student, including the exceptional student, time, effort, and unnecessary stress.
After attending A+ Tutoring, the exceptional student is equipped with multiple approaches to solving problems, which gives the student a greater understanding and increased chance of performing well in the course.
