Our Philosophy

Customised tutoring with care

At Danforth Tutoring, we believe that all children can shine when given the proper guidance and opportunity. Too often students won't try because they fear failure. We take that fear away by creating an environment where mistakes can be useful and can lead indirectly - by elimination - to the correct solution.

We also believe in a kind, encouraging method of tutoring that will help to build a child’s confidence and self-esteem. We encourage our students to think through problems in a logical, analytical way that will help them to reach the answers on their own. This ‘Socratic’ method of teaching through questions is at the heart of our philosophy. Once students can solve their own homework problems, they are able to reproduce this process in class and in an exam setting.

We believe firmly in the individuality of every child and we know that everyone learns in a different way. That is why the learning plan for every Danforth Tutoring student is customised and carefully thought out based on the student's needs.
