ASPIRE
The first thing we do is set goals to aspire to; there is something you want to be or a level of success in life you desire. It could be as simple as getting through the semester, or perhaps it is a lucrative career. We need to reach and stretch to attain these goals. During your free consultation we will determine your goals.
PERSEVERE
Plain and simple, you can’t go far without some work. You need to do the work over and over to gain confidence and then it gets easier. Like working out in a gym, it does get easier as you continue working out. When someone learns to play the piano they need to practice, practice, practice, even when it doesn’t sound very good. We will be there for you the whole way; encouraging and finding ways to make the work engaging. After lots of practice, not only do math and science problems look easier, you may even start enjoying the task of solving the problems.
LEARN
All the work we put into practicing is geared to first learn the basics. It may just come down to memorizing rules and symbols. We will give you the tricks and tips to remember the basics; to learn the structure and methods needed to solve problems step by step.
UNDERSTAND
After the basics are learned, we take a step back and look at the big picture. At this point, you no longer need to memorize everything. As pieces start to fit together, there is a point of understanding. The mysteries will start to lift and everything makes sense. All the work, all the practice, all the memorizing, leads to confidence to solve any problem, because not only do you know how to solve them, you understand how and why it all works. This is the stage where the candle turns into a searchlight.
SUCCEED
Congratulations! This is the part that makes it all worthwhile. It is time to celebrate and make use of your newly achieved skills and knowledge. It may also be a good time to set your sights on new goals and aspirations, but take some time to enjoy the moment; you are a success!
