The LifeWorks Approach

Our approach to tutoring works because our core principles are firmly rooted in the latest research findings of developmental psychology and neuroscience. We understand that to have a lasting and meaningful impact, our tutors must go beyond simply explaining academic content to include working with the particular needs of each student we meet.
Every student's needs differ, but in general we look to encourage development in five important areas:

- Relationships that foster learning and personal growth must be nurturing, yet authoritative.
- When students receive this kind of support they flourish in all aspects of life and, as a result, their grades improve.
