Our curriculum is paced deliberately, allowing older learners to proceed at a steady pace while ensuring a comprehensive understanding of each topic. We focus on mastering foundational skills in various math subjects. By taking a slow and deliberate approach, learners gain confidence and competence in their math abilities.

Our class structure is designed to accommodate diverse learning needs. For topics that learners have mastered, we dedicate the remaining class time to reinforce learned concepts through fun and interactive games. This not only solidifies their understanding but also enhances their retention.

Our classrooms are guided by a Socratic teaching approach, fostering critical thinking and encouraging open dialogue among learners. By facilitating engaging discussions and posing thought-provoking questions, students are able to explore topics more deeply and gain a comprehensive understanding of the material. 

We incorporate a mix of traditional methods such as videos and limited PowerPoint presentations to accommodate various learning styles as well. 

In addition, we gamify our lessons, as much as possible, to make learning fun and interactive for students. By adding elements of games and competition, we are able to keep learners engaged and motivated to participate in their education.

We also incorporate hands-on projects, wherever possible, to provide students with real-world application of their learning. Through these projects, students are able to apply their knowledge in practical ways and further enhance their understanding of the subject matter.

By designing this type of diverse classroom environment, utilizing multiple teaching methods, we effectively address the diverse learning styles of our learners.
