Our Guiding Beliefs
Fresh Slate Tutoring is comprised of tutors who love teaching and want an avenue to work with students of all ages and abilities. Our staff and faculty work to translate these beliefs into our teaching and business practices.
Each student
is an individual, with unique gifts and struggles.
One-to-one tutoring lets us assess and understand each student who comes to us for guidance or enrichment.
Learning
requires the learner to participate actively.
We emphasize practice. Within months, our students begin correcting themselves while reading aloud or editing their writing.
Mastery
requires two ingredients: regular practice and patience.
The vast majority of our students stay with their tutors all through high school, learning skills not to merely survive in college but to thrive there.
The mind
is not a vessel that needs filling...
"... but wood that needs igniting."
― Plutarch ―

Being inquisitive
is a sign of critical thinking.
We provide students with incentives for asking questions of substance.

A student
deserves a knowledgeable teacher.
Before getting hired, all tutors undergo a test of skills and peer interview. They also receive between 30 and 40 hours of training before receiving their first student.
I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I've eaten...
"Even so, they have made me."

A student
deserves a dedicated, experienced teacher.
Our tutors stay with us for years, and want to incorporate tutoring into their long-term career goals.
Anyone
who seeks self-improvement and guidance is welcome, whatever his or her means.
We offer alternative payment plans for families who can demonstrate financial need.
