Learning on YOUR Terms
We see the growth mindset as vital on both sides of the learning exchange and thoroughly understand the student’s point of view. With so many procedures and expectations in school and life, it can be challenging to keep pace with “The System.” We ENGAGE with students where they are so they are successful on their terms using their talents, not forcing them to adhere to a cookie-cutter way of doing things.
Although each student's goals may be similar, we work from the understanding that everyone’s journey is unique and should be celebrated.
A CurtisE Learning tutor is the student’s coach, confidante, and biggest fan. They drive concept mastery, boost confidence, and instill a lifelong love of learning—ever “Engaged and Engaging.”
“Great Tutor with extreme patience and creative thinking!”
“Curtis is extremely patient and did an incredible job connecting with my daughters. He is very thorough and easy to work with and goes out of his way to be available when needed. He has a well-structured approach which considers their individual needs. He explains problems clearly, quickly identifying where help was needed most, and developed constructive strategies for success. They both really enjoy him and actually look forward to their SAT review sessions! We are very happy with our choice of a tutor!”

Ask yourself questions: How does this connect to what we learned last week? What are the implications of this concept? The more you wrestle with the material, the better you'll understand it.
