Our Mission
How we approach the problem
Using our specialized approach of active engagement, each BurstTutor is trained to inspire students to engage in learning more deeply. We have captured the strategies of great teachers and coaches throughout the centuries who have uncovered the secrets of “deep practice,” through which learning can increase at a rate of up to 10 times that of normal learning. Modern brain research as well as educational studies show that when a child or adult understands what is happening in the brain, and unlocks his/her potential for learning, the brain’s capacity for retention grows.
Where the magic is!
Brain scientists point to the magic of Myelin, a substance that coats the nerve cells in the brain like the rubber coating on electrical wire. Through focused, mental exercise, myelin is formed very much the way muscles are developed in the rest of the body. This myelin fosters stronger signals sent from axon to axon actually growing the capacity for learning and, thus increasing intelligences.
SOCIAL SCIENTISTS
Social scientists and educators also point to one’s Mindset as a means of increasing learning capacity. When one believes his/her intelligence to be fixed, it is far more easy to give up or quit when persistence is needed. Understanding how the brain works, helps the learner to incorporate a “growth mindset” enabling the Individual to persist through difficulty and find purpose and enjoyment in learning. Most of us have had moments in which our ability was stretched, leading to deep enjoyment and satisfaction in the process and the outcome. This Flow experience does not have to be elusive. At BurstTutors, we teach students subjects, but also how to learn effectively regardless of the subject.
