Sherri's philosophy and approach to learning helps her establish solid, long-term relationships with all of her clients. She believes a good tutor must:
- Work closely not only with the students, but also with teachers and parents.
- Teach students to teach themselves. "An important and necessary skill for higher education"
- Use positive reinforcement and coaching to bolster students' self-esteem, leading them to success through a progressive series of small accomplishments.
- Teach students to take control of their education. "Putting them in charge of their schoolwork and grades yields a greater sense of responsibility and accomplishment when they make the grade."
- Truly care about students and their achievements, in all aspects of their lives.
- Listen at all times.
- Believe in her students at all times.
- Constantly analyze individual learning styles and adjust teaching methods accordingly. "Every student is unique in the way he or she processes information."
