My own fond memories of learning trace back to elementary school. I vividly remember sitting on the front steps of my house practicing writing the alphabet in both lowercase and uppercase letters. I must have been in first or second grade. There was a thrill in copying what my teacher had written in my black-and-white composition book. The excitement of shaping the letters just as she did is something that has stayed with me, though I can’t explain why. The memory, however, remains crystal clear. This is the experience I want to create for the students at the Shaw-Jones House. I want our students to learn with joy, to feel excitement about the process, and to see learning not as a chore, but as an adventure–one that they cherish and remember for years to come.
Our teaching style and strategies are tailored to fit your child’s unique learning style. We aim to inspire a genuine desire to pick up a book, understand its message and tackle math problems with confidence and curiosity.
Let our tutors empower your child to become a stronger student for their own future. Encourage them to surpass even your own achievements!
