ETCC Teaching Ideology and Methods

Educational Tutoring and Consulting Center has its own vision of the organization, conduction and control of the teaching and learning processes.

One of our main goals is to build up students' confidence in their own abilities and to allow them to learn the subject free from the distractions of the classroom environment.

During the first (free of charge) lesson, we assess the students' strengths and weaknesses in the subject and plan the study program accordingly.

Based on practical experience, we will customize our entire lesson plan around each student's individual needs. Our patient and professional teaching style encourages students to take a very active role in each lesson, asking questions without feeling self-conscious.

Here at ETCC, we use innovative teaching methods, including a unique computer software that lets students practice the math SAT, while recording the time spent for each problem. This helps the students and the teacher analyze the students' progress, as well as strengths and weaknesses.

The learning session is usually divided into three parts:

  1. checking and going over the homework
  2. explaining the new topic, making an emphasis on the definitions
  3. practicing on sample drills and problems of various difficulty to reinforce the new material
Homework worksheets are given after each class to reinforce the covered material. Students are expected to take the homework very seriously since this will significantly increase their rate of academic progress.

Periodic discussions with parents regarding students' academic progress will help to address any concerns that may arise.
