Welcome to the Gifted Learning Center
… offering quality and accelerated tutoring to
school-age children.
Our “learn-at-your-own-pace, one-on-one,
face-to-face tutoring” is first a response to
the needs of bright kids to learn faster and to
learn more. Some children want more challenge …
they’re capable of it … and it’s good for them: why
hold them back? Indeed, children with a range of
abilities will benefit from the individualized,
focused attention.
GLC lessons are done in parallel to or in place of
regular schoolwork. They augment regular school
OR
may be part of its alternative in a
homeschool
or partial-homeschool environment.
Illustration: The original “Mentor” teaching young
Telemachus.
This is NOT a “homework-help” service or remedial
tutoring for slow learners.
Our Mission
1.
Help students learn as fast as is comfortable according to their ability and
motivation. Help them reach their potential.
2.
Help students find the
joy of learning.
3.
Ignite ambition and passion for learning (which
ultimately are more important than IQ).
4.
Avoid risks associated with insufficient challenge
and boredom. (See
risks for bright kids.)
5.
By contact with the tutor, welcome students into the
community of scholars – where they become active
agents in the world of ideas, not simply passive
learners.
6.
Help students become people who can make the world a
better place.
Enable them to participate in the march of
scientific / intellectual / spiritual progress.
7.
Enable gifted minds to enter young adulthood as
producers, rather than students still in preparatory
study. (See
years of peak productive potential.)
8.
Demonstrate achievement via standardized tests and
acceptance to quality colleges and universities.
