Teacher Training

After much frustration with the limited amount of time in graduate school spent on training teachers how to teach reading, writing, and math, Christine developed a training program utilizing the best curricula and teaching methods. Teachers work through three tiers of instruction alongside their mentor. The frequent practice and feedback provides teachers with the opportunity to improve their delivery of instruction in a supported way. But don’t worry–you’ll be paid for your training as well as for teaching.

Compensation

We are not only trying to save the students, but also the teachers! We want to bring back the joy of teaching while appropriately compensating our teachers for their dedication, which is why we compensate our instructors for training prior to working with students, then provide all the needed training to advance to the teaching compensation level.
