WHY
Why Choose Ignite Your Mind?
“Improve by 1% a day, and in just 70 days, you’re twice as good.”
– Alan Weiss
WE CAN ALL REMEMBER BACK TO OUR FAVORITE TEACHER – the one who made the greatest impact on our life, the one who lifted us up and encouraged us beyond what we thought possible. In a perfect world, every teacher would be as great as your favorite, but in today’s test-driven environment and fast paced curriculum it is hard for each child to get the individual attention they may need.
THIS IS WHERE IGNITE YOUR MIND COMES IN! Tutoring allows me to cater to your child’s individual academic needs. Every student learns differently and have exceptionalities that need to be addressed when developing a curriculum. Whether your child is struggling to keep up and needs homework assistance or reteaching, or they are top of the class and they need that competitive edge, Ignite Your Mind’s Individualized guidance helps your child reach their greatest potential. As your child’s tutor, I will provide them with strategies and tools to expand their mathematical toolbox and help build their confidence. I want my students to love to learn.

GROWTH
The Growth Mindset Approach
“Ignite your mind and do not fall behind, just give your best and you will have success.”
THE GROWTH MINDSET IS A SIMPLE BUT POWERFUL BELIEF that intelligence is not fixed, but dynamic and can develop over time. At Ignite Your Mind, we encourage this concept and believe that students can take control over their successes and failures. We embrace the idea that students can and do learn well from their mistakes.
A Growth Mindset Approach to Math
Belief that talents can be developed, and abilities are built overtime.
View mistakes as an opportunity to grow.
Learns from criticism.
Not focused on the answer, but the strategies to get there.
