What Makes Us Different: Put Your Thinking Caps On

At the core of Thinking Caps' teaching philosophy is the belief that, given an optimal learning environment and individualized attention, every student can reach his greatest potential and achieve academic success.

We begin every relationship by meeting with the student and family to attain a comprehensive understanding of the student's goals and needs. A personalized course of study is then tailored to each student's unique personality and objectives. Finally, we carefully match each student with the right tutor, thus fostering strong connections and rapport between tutors and students.

Most of the TCT team members are either currently attending or have recently graduated from elite universities such as Columbia, Dartmouth, Cornell and New York University, and are trained extensively in Thinking Caps' proprietary teaching methods. As our tutors understand what it means to be a student, they become mentors, cheerleaders, and guides; they strive to build meaningful relationships to inspire in students an interest in study and a love of learning. These relationships reinforce an enduring self-confidence and encourage students to be independent, effective thinkers who are able to reach their full academic potential.
