Elevate Your Learning Journey With Our Expert Tutoring Team
About Us
We are a family-owned company founded in 2005 and offering tutoring to students from pre-K to 12th grade. Over the past years, we have tutored more than 1500 students in reading, writing, mathematics, and study skills. We offer test preparation in SAT, ACT, GED, and ASVAB. We have considerable experience tutoring students of low-income families for many school districts.
By observing our students and parents, we are gaining exciting new insight into what makes successful students and how we can help create tomorrow’s top students. We are committed to the development of tutoring programs that help students succeed in school. Just like you, we are parents, and we believe that academic success is not an accident. It takes good schools and teachers, but these are not the only ingredients.
Caring, committed, and inspiring parents are equally important to be the catalyst of the learning process. Therefore, we continually strive to identify new secrets to establish the best foundation for academic success and lifelong learning.
Philosophy
FreshWise Tutors is committed to helping children realize their fullest potential in school; consequently, we look at every possible technique to improve the learning process. Every student can be a great student given the correct environment, learning tools, and motivation from the people who surround them. The child’s parents have a significant influence on the behavior and motivation of a child in the academic setting. Our goal is to leverage this influence to get the maximum effect on academic performance.
Math
Basic Facts Mastery
Calculators are wonderful tools, but they can’t replace the ability to instantly recall basic facts and multiplication tables. Our basic facts curriculum allows students time to practice their basic facts to quickly and easily master more difficult math concepts and problems.
Speed with Accuracy
We support the basic facts curriculum with drills designed to help students conquer math anxiety.
Problem-Solving
We all know how difficult word problems can be for students. We help our students understand how to translate sentences into math symbols to solve word problems.
Early Reading
Phonics
Young students practice and memorize the sounds of each letter in a fun and easy-to-remember format. Multiple types of activities ensure that no matter what the child’s learning style is, the material is accessible and useful.
Handwriting
Our handwriting materials help students in third grade and below to develop fine motor skills and neat letter formation.
Comprehension
General comprehension skills help early readers understand the stories they read, helping them understand the topic and details of short reading passages.
Vocabulary
Pre-K students gain much from practicing basic vocabulary, both aloud and in writing. While they develop their motor skills, students can also practice letter formation and sight vocabulary.
Reading
Phonics
Most students who struggle with reading have trouble sounding words out. Our phonics materials are designed to help students learn the sounds letters make.
Vocabulary
Students need to have a well-rounded vocabulary to be successful in school and life. Our contextual vocabulary material allows students to learn new words naturally and easily.
Comprehension
Students must read well to learn every other subject in school. Building comprehension skills is essential for any student struggling with reading.
Spanish
Students earning a standard and advanced placement diploma in high school are required to complete 3 years in one language or 2 years in two languages. Now you can get supplemental tutoring at any level throughout elementary, middle, or high school. Spanish must be the choice of a second language. It is a fun language! Let’s get a tutor and start now.
Phonics
Just like learning to read English, students need to start by learning the alphabet and the sounds of the letters. It is just the beginning, as students start their journey to becoming Spanish speakers.
Vocabulary
Vocabulary development is critical in Spanish communication and from learning the colors as beginners to sophisticated vocabulary in journal articles and reading the newspaper, students can get a message to their audience. Learning vocabulary is a natural process, but your tutor will relate vocabulary development to everyday life.
Oral Reading
Reading is just as much fun in Spanish is just as much fun as in English. Regardless of a student’s understanding level, reading appropriate books and stories is key to learning a language for life. This part of language development will be the cornerstone of oral communication. It is the most fun because oral reading is fundamental to verbal communication.
Comprehension
Recognition of letters, words, and sentences is key, but developing comprehension skills is necessary to pick up the newspaper and read an article. This skill must be developed so that we can read, since people read to learn. In the early stages, students must learn to read, but later they must read to learn. Workbooks are designed and progressive to allow students to build and advance comprehension skills throughout their learning to build confidence and learning and enjoy learning to read Spanish.
Test Prep
SAT/ACT
The SAT and ACT are some of the most important, and most challenging, tests students will face.
Our program is designed to help students understand the test’s format as well as content. Our modules cover all major test sections and break them down into easily-understood lessons. Students only complete the modules and lessons they need, cutting down on the amount of time needed for a successful program.
