My favorite class in high school was… Spanish because I loved studying the language, but I also had a great teacher that helped us understand the reason Spanish grammar functions the way it does.

I wish when I was in high school I had known… that math really functions as its own language. As a tutor, one of my favorite things is helping students learn to understand this and become less intimidated by math because of it.

For parents, we are always happy to help figure out what’s best for your child, and we have a whole team you can utilize to find answers to your questions.

What sets Nurturing Wisdom apart is… our ability to customize curriculum, materials, and strategies to meet each student’s individual needs.
