Description: St Charles based Learning Ascent Corporation was founded in 2002 to offer better tutoring solutions. Our tutors have helped hundreds of students in St Charles and nearby communities. We make it easy for busy parents to find custom, professional tutoring for their children. Your child can immediately get the chance to succeed that she deserves. Learning Ascent professionals know and work with local school district curricula. Familiarity with the curriculum allows tutors to identify and correct the root of problems. We can even help your child to better comprehend and complete homework assignments. Big tutoring chains place students into "canned" systems to make tutoring easy for the tutors. Parents must pay for expensive diagnostic tests that are only necessary to "place" or "fit" the student into their existing system. The systems do not integrate with local school curriculum's and the student winds up with more work–over and above normal school work.      << View Less

Description: When Stephen tutors, he utilizes Vygotsky's scaffolding method, as well as the "Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)" method, to ensure maximum effectiveness in learning. He also uses the theory of Bloom's Taxonomy to hone in on the learning style of the student in order to maximize the effects of study. Stephen continually encourages an excitement in learning, and demonstrates this excitement as he tutors.
Stephen's tutoring philosophy: "My job is not to be the expert. My job is to condition the student to be the expert."      << View Less
