Tutor Me Education

Summer is just around the corner! Do you have plans for summer school, learning recovery sessions, acceleration programs, or camps this summer? Tutor Me Education is here to help! Tap into our pool of qualified and trained tutors who work with us during Fall and Spring to help you out this summer! Our program is adaptable to many different learning environments, and can be implemented with diverse student populations. As a peek of what our tutors are capable of, check out some awesome data from a few of our schools below! 

As many of our schools’ tutoring programs are getting close to wrapping up, we’ve been hard at work collecting data on student achievement. We are so proud of our tutors, students, and partners for their hard work that led to some amazing results. Check out this data sample from one of our NorCal elementary schools that recently concluded their program for the year! 

Let’s get excited to learn! While all educators know that intrinsic motivation is key to student success, a little reward once in a while doesn’t hurt to keep things exciting. Our tutors have shown so many exciting ways to keep students motivated. TME provides great rewards like extra credit tickets, stickers, and TME Bucks. However, using reward systems isn’t just about instant gratification either- it helps students set long-term goals, have tangible rewards for their efforts, and work with peers to achieve shared milestones like class-wide rewards. What prize do you most vividly remember getting in school?

How can we make learning fun? Let our tutors count the ways! In Tutor Me Education’s tutoring programs, we encourage tutors to game-ify learning. This not only makes the tutoring more fun and engaging for students, but also removes the pressure and anxiety that can come from a learning environment focused only on outcomes. Allowing students to explore the content in a variety of modalities and contexts encourages them to take ownership of their learning, use critical thinking more often and more deeply, and build social skills by collaborating with peers. Check out some of the great ways our tutors engage with students in these photos!

We love our community! In education, community is everything. In order for students to have robust support systems, set achievement goals, and have a well-rounded worldview, it is key to incorporate community involvement into the education process. We love getting a chance to stop by our schools and centers to share information on how tutoring can be utilized to meet diverse students’ unique needs. We’ll see you out there!

Student appreciation post! Where would we be without the hard work of our talented and unique students? The collage of student art and notes – including students’ portraits of Tutor Eszter and Tutor Chris from two of our high schools – in this post just go to show how the students feel about their tutoring services. The support students receive from their teachers, tutors, and mentors is something they’ll carry with them all throughout their lives, and we are so lucky to play a part in that. 

Have you ever heard the phrase “the best defense is a good offense” before? Well, that’s definitely true when it comes to behavior management! When TME tutors start working with new students, they are trained to always start by setting clear expectations with students. Not only does this help mitigate potential behavioral issues, but it also helps students feel secure and safe because the tutor will react predictably in the event of a rule not being followed. Tutors are also instructed to always give warnings and remind students of expectations if a rule is broken, so students feel supported and encouraged to make the right decisions, like the expectations in these photos from our real tutors’ sessions! What does your “offense” look like when setting up a successful classroom environment?
