Can enthusiasm for calculus truly be sparked? In an era that prioritizes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education, students today require these skills more than previous generations. Jay Veal and his mother Gloria, operating out of INC (It’s Not Complicated) Tutoring, are fervent advocates for math and science. Their innovative approach to fostering successful learning in students delivers a refreshing alternative to conventional tutoring methods.
“What distinguishes us is our comprehensive perspective on each learner,” shares Gloria Veal, who serves as the Principal Program Manager of Communications & Public Relations at INC. Whether your child needs assistance to attain grade-level proficiency or you’re aiming to enhance their learning in specific STEM areas, INC emphasizes understanding each child’s unique learning style. They actively incorporate the student’s interests to personalize lessons, which keeps engagement high. Furthermore, they communicate with teachers, parents, and the students themselves to determine the most effective strategies for unlocking a child’s potential. Gloria notes that when children feel confident in their abilities, they are more receptive to new information. Thus, INC employs a “private and prescriptive” one-on-one method designed to keep students ahead by four to six weeks. Sessions can be conducted virtually (via Skype) or in a comfortable, distraction-free environment near the student’s home. With parental consent, INC even interviews teachers and reviews classroom materials, ensuring alignment with what is being taught in the school setting.
Another key aspect that sets INC apart from larger tutoring chains is their flexible hourly rate structure, which does not bind families to long-term contracts. “Our focus is on nurturing lifelong learners rather than securing lifelong customers,” Gloria emphasizes. Their mission revolves around identifying the root of any difficulties a student may face in a subject, assessing their existing knowledge to build on it. They recognize it may be necessary to not only address the academic content but also enhance study habits or demonstrate the practical relevance of the material.
