Tutor -> to -> Think is an approach to tutoring that recognizes the need to incorporate the whole student in the learning process. As learning specialists, we acknowledge the uniqueness of each student and their innate need to learn through personal strengths while simultaneously grappling with cognitive challenges. Using the Tutor -> to -> Think approach, a student progresses from passive learner to engaged thinking. They become empowered and more confident in their ability to learn and perform.
