FUNKE TUTORS
Strategic Minds, Ignited Purpose.
The Executive Function Difference
Equipping for Long-Term Success
While most tutoring services focus solely on the subject and class at hand, we find that students thrive best when their efforts to learn are paired with skills including specific and achievable goal-setting, self-motivation, habit creation, and problem-solving. This is the core of executive function teaching, which aims to help students "control the skills (such as organizing tasks, remembering details, managing time, and solving problems) required for goal-directed behavior" (Merriam-Webster). Because our goal is continued success through the rest of your child's educational career and beyond, we infuse the teaching of executive function skills throughout the wide range of subject matter that we offer.
Funke Tutor aims to take the frustration out of learning by bringing a personalized, faith-based approach to education in middle Tennessee. Students meet individually with their dedicated tutor to provide a tailored educational approach that meets each individual's learning needs. With over a decade of teaching experience combined, we are passionate about transforming the landscape of modern education and empowering future generations to thrive.
Whether you want to improve writing skills, enhance critical thinking, or focus solely on executive function skills, our one-on-one tutoring sessions will help you achieve your goals.
