Small Mindz Tutoring
ABOUT US
After seven years of classroom teaching, both in elementary and middle school, private
tutoring, developing lesson plans, diving deep into my current role as ESOL Coordinator
and leading discussions among students, faculty and staff we founded Small Mindz
Tutoring. We realized that there was room for a group of like minded educators in South
Florida that are truly dedicated to the art of teaching, instead of the companies that try
to fit students into a cookie-cutter or simply fill their rosters with people who sound
impressive but don’t actually know how to teach.
CULTURE & PHILOSOPHY
What are the principles behind Small Mindz Tutoring’s art of teaching?
Check them out below:
“With Students a little goes a long way”
Overwhelming students with information doesn’t get them anywhere. A new runner
doesn’t start with running a marathon. The runner slowly trains their way up to running
long distances as they become accustomed and build their endurance to run long
distances. So it is in life, so it should be in education.
“Students avoid what they do not understand”
It is not because our students are lazy. Assisting students understand their work is the
best answer to motivational issues. Doing work well feels GREAT! We all know
everyone wants to feel good, especially your students.
“When teachers teach well, students love it”
If our students aren’t enjoying the help, then we are doing something wrong. We’ll figure
it out and we’ll change it. Good teaching is a dialogue process. It involves actively
listening as much as actively talking. We take the time to learn from our students about
their difficulties as this is the key to reaching them where they are and ultimately
teaching them well.
“Model Dedication”
As educators we understand, for some it comes easily; for others, it takes time. If
students have not yet reached their goals, it is our job as educators to figure out how to
get them there. We are dedicated to our students, always showing up, always seeking
new ways to explain material, always doing the extra work that it takes to unlock their
interests – that is the most effective way to inspire them.
“Growth is a mindset”
It’s crucial to remember that setbacks in academic situations are insightful and actually
incredible moments to grow and learn. While the disappointment of not achieving
everything you might have hoped for on a test or paper can be difficult to overcome, we
are here to help remind all of our students that every setback is a growth spurt in
disguise. If we were born knowing everything, all the wonder of learning would be gone.
We believe that learning is a journey…
“Success is easy…Struggle is hard”
Building the right mindsets among our students is essential. The beginning of that
mindset is teaching students the practices and habits that make up the baseline of
academic success – organization, dedication and follow through. With these skills
modeled and practiced, students learn that being successful academically is EASIER
than struggling, and allows for far more free time!
“Being Bored is not an option”
It is up to us…the teacher to discover what is truly interesting to our students and to
build material around this interest whenever possible. Searching for material that
authentically engages students is the key to turning students on to learning the skills
required in school and in life.
