One Smart Kid tutoring subscribes to his belief that the most effective way to teach is to present academic material in a way that relates to each student's learning style.

Presentation of material should reflect, nurture and validate the student's natural intelligence. Our tutors understand students' styles to effectively facilitate confidence building and the achievement of academic mastery.

The most common learning styles according to Dr. Gardner's theory are as follows:

1. Linguistic Intelligence

Linguistically talented people understand and use language with ease. They think logically, analytically, and sequentially.

Logical-Mathematical people use numbers and math concepts with ease and readily understand cause-and-effect and abstract reasoning. They recognize patterns and sequences and often perform computations in their heads.
