At the Open Book Academy, we understand that tutoring is not just a form of academic assistance. We believe that tutoring can be a life-affirming and enriching act. We cultivate life-long learning and study skills and by practice, our aim is to guide students to understand the human experience through the Humanities – all reflecting back towards their school’s curricula. In doing so, we create skills that can translate to any academic level and discipline. What sets us apart from other agencies, is that our approach is rooted first in openness and kindness. This cultivates a safe learning environment where tutoring is catered specifically to your child’s academic, developmental, and social needs. We recognize that every learner is different. We also recognize the role the humanities play in shaping a person’s growth and development. By finding touchstones in the humanities, we form a common ground with our students. This creates long-lasting and meaningful relationships that enhance their critical thinking skills and the quality of their schoolwork. Most importantly, we help students to become confident, reflective writers who can analyze the past, understand the present, and communicate their ideas effectively for the future.
