1:1 Game-Based Critical Thinking Tutoring: Puzzles, Mysteries and More!

In this fun and engaging class, students will improve their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through a series of interactive games, they’ll complete riddles, solve rebus style puzzles, anagrams and dive into detective-style challenges reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes. They'll also enjoy activities like "spot the difference", escape room-style games and much more. All my lessons are designed to sharpen your learner's mind while having a blast!

This class is designed to be low-pressure, so students can feel free to learn at their own pace. If they encounter any tricky puzzles, I’m here to gently guide them through the process, helping them piece together clues and think critically.  Whether your child is a puzzle master or a complete beginner, they’ll have plenty of opportunities to build their problem-solving skills in a fun and supportive environment.

What's my teaching style?
My approach with learners is very patient and kind. I emphasize positive reinforcement as much as possible and let the students know that their hard work is paying off.  Throughout the class, students receive lots of praise—words like "Good work! You're doing great! Excellent job!"—to keep them motivated and confident in their progress.

Why choose this class?
Every child is unique, and this class is designed to tap into your learner's personal interests to make learning engaging and relevant. Whether your child loves animals, superheroes, video games, cartoons or building things, I will adapt activities to their favorite topics, helping them develop critical thinking in a fun way.
