COVID-19 exposed many pitfalls to online learning, but Aspire has specifically set out to avoid these.
Students tell us they prefer their online sessions, and they look forward to them. Aspire Academy moved to online learning in March 2020 because of the COVID pandemic for social distancing, but we have stuck with online tutoring because it works. Students repeatedly told us that they enjoyed their tutoring sessions better than their online, public-school sessions because they were directly instructed and they could continue their personal relationship with their tutor. They looked forward to their sessions because they were able to engage with a teacher who had a vested relationship in their learning, and they could have open and honest discussions about learning and what was happening in their life.
From Hawaii to Connecticut, we tutor everywhere in the United States. Call 515-978-4312 for more information.

Learning occurs best when children are engaged socially, emotionally, and are not stressed.
Learning occurs best when it is customized to the child.
That has always been the philosophy of Aspire Academy, founder Heidi Stoffel, and every tutor she hires. It continues to be whether learning is delivered online or in-person.
Sal Kahn, of Kahn Academy, states “to ensure that kids keep progressing on both academic and social-emotional fronts, it is critical that educators provide live, teacher-led video sessions. These need to optimize both academic coverage and social interaction. A baseline would be two-or-three 30-45 minute sessions on each core academic subject each week. These sessions need to drive conversations between students and teachers.”

Aspire Academy strives to deliver the best, direct instruction whether it occurs online or in-person. Tutors build robust academic and social-emotional relationships with each of their students, as they tackle their reading challenges.
Aspire Academy’s mission is to deliver the highest-quality learning experience for children who struggle with reading, writing and spelling whether that be in-person or online. Every online session we deliver is one-on-one, direct instruction, delivered live, between tutor and student. We personalize every lesson to their specific needs with the aim of getting them to grade-level reading as fast as possible. We use diagnostic testing and student learning progress to determine their needs and progression.
