Teaching to Teach

Many of our tutors will tell you that working with Connective Tutoring students actually helps them in their own studies. This is because teaching someone else builds confidence and well-rounded expertise as part of preparing for and delivering the material.

Stated in our mission, tutoring methodology, and training philosophy is the concept of "teaching to teach". This is a technique that we use for students who struggle with basic math and science concepts. When students are able teach back to their tutors, they demonstrate a thorough understanding of the subject.

"Teaching to teach" is a great approach for many students in mastering areas of weakness. We use this method in private instruction, group tutoring, and classes. What better test is there than to teach back the material?
