Tutoring Specialities - Portland & Seattle

Tutoring does more than help your student master mathematical concepts or become a better writer. It provides the academic support your child needs to be successful in the classroom and beyond.

Our Approach to Specialities Tutoring

Emergent Education knows that no two students learn the same way. Our holistic, one-on-one approach gives students the individualized attention they need to succeed. We’ll help your student identify their learning style, strengths, and problem areas to create a personalized tutoring plan that motivates and empowers them to achieve academic success.

What Are the Benefits of Specialities Tutoring?

Specialties tutoring is different from traditional tutoring in that the session won’t focus on a specific subject or knowledge area. This kind of tutoring helps your student become a better learner by developing the skills they’ll need to succeed academically and beyond.

Enhance Communication Skills

Communication is an essential life skill, but not every student is comfortable giving a speech or writing long essays. Our tutors will work with your student to help them find the strategies and tactics to help them become better communicators, no matter the medium.

Improve Critical Reasoning Skills

Drawing conclusions based on the evidence takes practice. A tutor works with your student to identify the best way to connect the dots and draw meaningful conclusions.

Build Confidence

Struggling students may be hesitant to participate in class or too anxious to ask the teacher for help. In a one-on-one setting, a supportive, nonjudgmental tutor can support your student however they need and help them feel confident in the classroom.
