Why it Works

Adjacent Tutoring: Although our tutors are experts in their field, our first step is to diagnose the specific learning challenges your students faces. It’s important to identify areas of opportunity, common patterns and any gaps in their learning experience along the way. We apply specific strategies that are most effective in improving your students individual educational journey. The subject expertise is then applied meticulously!

Collaboration: Adjacent Tutoring also believes that engagement through collaboration is key! Tutoring is most effective when the tutor supports the student in a way that promotes independence in problem solving. Sometimes that means spending time reframing a question, or approaching the problem in a non-traditional way. Allowing the student to find their style is important for their development and confidence in the future. 

Motivation: Studies show that frequent tutoring sessions, one-on-one and 2:1, tutoring is optimal for effective learning. Students who consistently show up to tutoring sessions show improvement in academic performance, attitude towards learning, self-directed learning, confidence and motivation. Therefore, even the most accomplished students experience long term benefits from regular interaction with a tutor. The emphasis on individuality in education allows students solidify their skills, interests and aspirations, leading students to view learning as a positive and empowering experience.
