CLASSROOM MATTERS
What Makes Us Different?
There are a lot of tutoring services. What makes Classroom Matters different?
Personalized Approach
Classroom Matters provides a network of services for families. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, we confer directly with parents a minimum of twice a month, contact teachers about the progress of our students, and refer families to other local services that we feel will be helpful to students and parents alike. We are proud of our personalized approach and truly enjoy spending time talking with the families at Classroom Matters. Our tutors are well-rounded individuals who care about their students on many levels. These tutors take the time to find out what makes each of their clients tick and what they care about. Classroom Matters tutors are constantly going the extra mile to connect with their students and create respectful and productive relationships with them.
Active Learning Environment
The Classroom Matters center provides a nourishing and warm environment where students feel invited to learn. While many tutors work directly in people's homes, Classroom Matters subscribes to the philosophy that the best learning takes place where the three major aspects of learning are addressed: the emotional (one-on-one tutoring), the social (interacting with and observing others who are learning) and the cognitive (problem solving with tutors and one another). In a center full of active learning, we find that success and enthusiasm reign.
Experienced Leadership
As former public school teachers with years of experience working with teenagers and parents, the owners of Classroom Matters understand how schools work as well as the process of learning. Whether it's learning how to advocate for a student in an overwhelming school environment or negotiating about studying and privileges at home, Lisa and Molly can lend a sympathetic ear and give practical advice to help families successfully face the challenges of education.
