Conventional Tutoring can…

Be Transactional

Many tutoring businesses focus heavily on improving grades without addressing the underlying interest or passion for learning. This can make sessions feel like a chore rather than an opportunity to explore exciting topics.

Lack Personal Connection

Larger tutoring organizations often struggle to build strong relationships between tutors and students. Without a personal connection, students may remain disengaged.

Have A One-Size-Fits-All Approach

Pre-set curricula and lesson plans don’t account for different learning styles, interests, or the need for creative exploration, particularly in STEM fields.

Fail To Inspire Curiosity

Tutoring sessions may focus on solving problems rather than inspiring students to ask their own questions and explore real-world applications of what they learn.
