The Green Tomato Philosophy

Students and their families value The Green Tomato for its personalized approach to learning. We evaluate each student to determine their academic level, emotional state, and strengths and weaknesses. Then, an optimal learning approach is developed for the student. Reassessments are conducted continually to assess progress and performance.

Successful tutoring is predicated on positive, supportive communication.

Students, parents, teachers, school administrators, and tutors must coordinate and communicate their goals and expectations from the beginning and throughout the education process. 

Each student learns uniquely.  

Working with each student individually means working with each student uniquely. During our first session, we focus on how students learn and what they need to learn. 

The Green Tomato customizes its teaching approach to fit the students' personalities, interests, and abilities and meets them on their terms. In doing so, our students feel respected and responsible for their progress.

I feel respected and responsible. 

Feeling respected is integral to a student's improved sense of self, both academically and personally. When you boost a child's confidence level, they are able to succeed and move forward with life’s most important tools.

Helping our students become conscious of and take responsibility for their choices is the foundation of our educational philosophy.
