Warp Drive Tutors

he US and Teams/OneNote popular in Europe. We focus exclusively on mathematics and science and are extremely selective in whom we hire; high school teachers must have a demonstrated record of excellent student evaluations and stellar academic backgrounds of their own. Teachers are also selected for an easy going manner and communication skills, necessary assets when engaging a teenager! Our goal is to develop study skills and habits that students are sometimes unaware they lack, which are completely coachable, and often specific for the particular subject they are preparing for. By developing students’ study skills we build their confidence, and as a consequence their ability to work on their own. How we differ from other tutoring firms:
First, we specialize exclusively in mathematics and science. Also, all of our tutors are full time teachers in the subjects they tutor. Further, we require tutors to have an established academic concentration, including a graduate degree, in the particular subject they tutor. There are tutoring firms that proudly exclaim “Our head tutor ‘James’ has tutored for almost every standardized test that exists.” If James can legitimately tutor for all of the diverse standardized tests that exist, he will have been in graduate school for more than 50 years. Also, many tutors and tutoring firms will tell you that it does not matter if you know the material for a particular subject test, and that it only matters if you know test-taking techniques. Test taking techniques help but are worthless if you do not know the subject material. We teach the techniques, but emphasize an in depth understanding of the subject material, which is the best technique of them all. Our Philosophy:
We predicate all tutoring on the premise that every child has the capacity to excel academically. It is exceedingly rare that someone truly cannot understand high school mathematics or physics even through the most rigorous AP, IB or A-Level level classes. You will be surprised at how much your child can learn, and how much their scores and grades will improve, with appropriate guidance. Let’s consider golf as an analogy. You can hit the ball for all it’s worth but if the angle of the club hitting the ball is off by a couple of degrees, the ball goes in the water or in the sand. Frustrating, yes? However, when your golf coach adjusts your swing very slightly, you hit the ball closer to the direction you aim and progress to the next tee. This is what we try and do: look at how students approach their work, find the flaws in their approach, and determine how to fix those flaws. With constant reinforcement from watchful and encouraging tutors, students will hone their study skills and find that excelling in their math and science classes becomes an achievable and realistic goal.
