Question 1

How is Stride Learning different from a tutor?

Accepted Answer

Stride Learning not only help students with subject matter, but we also help them learn how to "do" school. We coach our students in executive functioning and organization skills that will help them in the classroom and beyond. We also incorporate movement into our programs and lessons because it has been proven that students are the most effective learners and retain the most knowledge directly after being active. Another way we differ from traditional tutoring is that our mentors contact students throughout the week to check in on their progress.
