Could it be possible to ignite a passion for calculus among students? In our current climate, where STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education is so crucial, children today require these competencies more than previous generations. At INC (It’s Not Complicated) Tutoring, Jay Veal and his mother, Gloria, share a deep enthusiasm for mathematics and science. Their innovative approach to fostering student success presents a refreshing alternative to conventional tutoring methods.
“What distinguishes us is our comprehensive perspective on each student,” states Gloria Veal, Principal Program Manager of Communications & Public Relations at INC. Whether a student is aiming to achieve proficiency at grade level or is ready to advance their understanding in a specific STEM area, INC tailors its approach to fit the student’s learning style and interests. This individualized method keeps students engaged and is built around collaboration with teachers, parents, and the students themselves to maximize their achievements. Gloria notes that when children feel confident in their abilities, they are more open to absorbing new information; thus, INC’s unique “private and prescriptive” one-on-one strategy aims to keep learners ahead by four to six weeks. Tutoring can be conducted virtually through Skype or in person, either at home or another quiet location. With parental consent, INC conducts interviews with teachers and reviews school materials to align their tutoring with classroom instruction.
A key feature that sets INC apart from larger tutoring franchises is its flexible, hourly rate system. They operate on a session-by-session basis without requiring lengthy contracts. “We focus on fostering lifelong learners rather than creating lifelong clients,” explains Gloria. Their aim is to pinpoint where a student is struggling, understanding their existing knowledge to build from a foundation of success. It might become evident that assistance is needed not just in the content area but also in study strategies or understanding the practical applications of what they are learning.
