"Growth Beyond Grades"

Welcome to Connected to Learning

Connected to Learning’s goal is to provide the best possible match between a student and a tutor. Tutors who are available through our service share our philosophy of delivering quality instruction through personalized assessment and delivery.

While other tutoring services promote their ‘systems’, we recognize that each learner is unique and their growth depends on developing a deep understanding of curriculum, something that doesn’t usually happen through memorization drills or repetitive practice sheets.

Instead of solely focusing on the answers, we believe that tutors should help the student understand the process to get to answers. This process can be different for everyone - it is up to the tutor to take the time to understand the best way to help the student learn and then build a strategy to support their learning style.

Our Process: learn how you can find the right tutor for you or your child.

What Does the Research Say?

The following is an excerpt from an expert in reading intervention. The same research holds true in other areas of instruction and is the motivation for what we are striving to provide at Connected to Learning.

Struggling readers need larger amounts of more expert, more personalized, and more intensive reading instruction. In the end, the quality of that instruction is critical, and high-quality instruction for struggling readers cannot simply be boxed up and shipped to a site. High-quality reading instruction, especially for struggling readers, requires the expertise to identify just where the reader has gotten off-track and then to design instruction that moves the reader back onto an accelerated track of development.”
