Our Teaching Approach ~

one-one personalized instruction

Using a blend of innovative, research-based instructional strategies and techniques, we guide and strengthen the student's learning experience by promoting confidence, and empowering students with the skills and knowledge required to master course objectives and build a solid foundation for continued future academic success.

 One on One Learning >>

Year-round,  One on One Learning Support 

At Academic Horizons, our focus is to help students understand what they are learning. Rather than asking "Does she know it?" we ask, "How does she understand it?" What ideas does she connect it with?" Because, knowing is not the same as understanding.

In math, for example, it is entirely possible for students to memorize mathematics facts and manipulate numbers using mechanical "steps" or "plug-in" approaches without having any understanding of the concepts or procedures involved. Memorizing rules and mastery of computation is not the same as true knowledge of mathematical concepts, ideas and procedures.
