Tutor Spotlight

This November, we have the distinct pleasure of introducing our tutor of the month in our blog for the first time! We also thought this would be a great opportunity for parents, students, and other interested parties to see first hand the quality and expertise that can be expected when working with Educational Connections tutors.

I am pleased to introduce Susan Oppenheim, who has been tutoring with Educational Connections for six years. Susan is constantly working to stay up to date on the latest educational methods and theories. While she is a truly skilled tutor, Susan also absolutely loves what she does and is deeply devoted to her students. Susan believes that children are "our future and should be treated with respect, and given structure and discipline."

Susan's educational philosophy dictates that students should receive instruction based on their individual needs and abilities. "It is up to us to find out how their brain works in order to help them achieve the knowledge they crave." As a result, Susan says "I do not teach all my children the same way" and even differentiates how she interacts with parents to match their personal styles as well.

Susan has her degree in elementary education and has served in several school districts over the past 20 years. She also has exemplary volunteer experience. While Susan is an integral part of the tutoring team, the best feedback comes from her students and their parents, who all say the same thing: "We love her!"
