What is Holistic Tutoring?

Professional educator Mary Lance, Ed.D, holds a Doctoral Degree in Teacher Leadership with a focus on yoga in schools and a Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. She has 13 years experience in elementary education.
 
Tutoring offered in a holistic approach nurtures the whole child to enhance academic success.  Each student is evaluated on readiness level, interest, and learning profile based on parent conversations and student meetings. Then it is determined what other support is best for the student (i.e.: movement/yoga, breathing, mini-meditations, etc.) to compliment the academic support. This will help your child build confidence in the academic areas that tutoring will emphasize. A holistic tutoring session is best completed at the student's home or in my studio in order to build good study habits in a familiar, calm, and comfortable environment. Parents will be communicated with regularly about student progress through comprehensive weekly reports sent via email. Communication with the student's teacher is also available upon request.

​Sessions are generally before or after school. Weekends are available, but not for a regular schedule. Twice a week is most beneficial for students. During the summer and for students who are homeschooling, it has proven more effective to meet more frequently, perhaps for shorter durations. For example, four times a week for two weeks instead of once per week all summer. However, the parent always determines the frequency of sessions.
