About
Tutoring and remediation is specifically designed for each student individually; most learning centers use pre-designed programs for a given area of remediation regardless of students' individual needs. At R.B.S., concentration on each student's specific needs and eliminating areas of unnecessary remediation is the focus. The small setting and one-to-one tutoring eliminates distractions creating the ultimate learning environment. At R.B.S., there are never any substitute tutors. I communicate regularly with each student's classroom teacher and other related professionals to ensure a comprehensive approach to increase academic performance. Students are also afforded the ability to contact me on days when they are not scheduled for tutoring sessions if faced with a last-minute project, paper or difficult assignment. They know to text or call, and I will get back to them to offer assistance as quickly as possible. The biggest difference at R.B.S. is in addition to remediation and instruction I strive to develop a personal connection with my students and work to increase students' self-confidence and focus on the whole child as an individual. Doing so is often the first step to successfully improving academic performance. At R.B.S., children and adolescents are not just students-they are family.
Enabling students to achieve greater academic and personal success is why I do what I do and why I love my work.
