Academic Instinct Tutoring

Mission:

Our goal at Academic Instinct Tutoring is to approach learning in a non-traditional, fun, yet effective way for students from Pre-K to 8th grade. Our mission is to offer quality tutoring and teaching services that empower students to thrive academically. We assist students in attaining their personal academic goals and mold them to become independent learners and help them to think differently and diversely in how they approach problems. We aim to provide students with the social emotional resources needed for their success not only in the classroom, but in their social lives as well. All teaching is hands-on, exploratory, and centered around discovery, resulting in a stimulated and interactive learning experience. We offer a student’s perspective on learning and honor individual differences, discerning where a student is weak and where they are strong. Our belief is that no child is the same, therefore a single teaching method does not work for all. Each session is self-paced and curated specifically to the child and their individual needs. We put value in building positive relationships with each child and their families, ensuring trust and dependability.

Program Description:

We are a private tutoring agency and an educational brand in New York City. Our goal is to approach learning in a non-traditional, fun and effective way for each of our students! As an up and coming leader in early childhood education, we strongly believe in personalized learning, as we recognize that every child has a unique learning style. We assist students in attaining their personal academic goals, molding them to become independent learners and helping them to think differently and diversely in how they approach problems, both academically and in life.

In addition to academic support, we incorporate doses of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into our academic sessions to promote holistic development. We also offer SEL sessions that focus on the social and emotional development of our students and work on their emotional intelligence. Social emotional development and emotional intelligence are the aspects in one's character that affect how one healthily socializes, builds relationships throughout their life and how they learn emotional skills like self-awareness, compassion and empathy. ​

Our belief is that no child is the same, therefore a single teaching method does not work for all. Our sessions are curated specifically to the student and their individual needs. We put value in building positive relationships with each child and their families, ensuring trust and dependability.

At this time, we service students from preschool to 8th grade with plans to expand to high school students in the near future.
