Things you want to know
What makes us unique?
With computers and smartphones, your child can gather more information in one internet search than what is presented in a lesson—and they enjoy it. We use these skills that your child naturally apply when exploring Google to help them mastering schoolwork.
Furthermore, our learners are successful because we realized long ago that our role as teachers must evolve into that of a curator (derived from the Latin word meaning 'to care').
Thinking Tools curators are curriculum experts trained to harness children’s research abilities in purposeful ways. This is how we work with your child through each syllabus theme.
How do we do it? We guide and facilitate your child’s thinking processes using scientific methods to develop their critical and creative thinking. This enables your child to discover schoolwork knowledge independently.
We also empower your child with ‘figure-out’ skills in math and all other subjects. This is one of the main reasons your child’s grades improve.
- Looking at schools’ results in general there are challenges that cannot be addressed by the exact same system that caused the challenges (Albert Einstein).
- The challenges were created by the extreme focus on assessment and overloading teachers aadminstrative tasks.. Even if it were to change today, it would take decades to catch up.
- Meanwhile, your child's achievements stays the main priority.
- Over and above empowering your child to master all the socalled learning subjects, we have a unique figure out approach to maths.
- Thinking Tools complements the shortcomings of schools with a creative paradigm shifting approach that builds children’s self-esteem as they progress step-by-step and improve their grades.
