Why Us
Our Tutors:
We understand
that there are a variety of other tutoring options
available to you, but we believe that ROPES offers
a unique service. ROPES strives to provide
an unparalleled experience for you and your student
while emphasizing a role in giving back to the community.
We hire only the best, experienced tutors: our tutors
not only have a strong grasp of the material, but
more importantly, have a passion for teaching. Our
tutors come from the nation's top universities and
are typically pursuing a graduate or undergraduate
degree in the subject they are tutoring in.
Our Approach:
Our approach
to tutoring is drastically different from other
tutoring organizations. We believe that a thorough
understanding of the subject material is only the
basic requirement for a tutor. A successful tutor
must also be able to understand a student’s particular
learning habit, and be able to tailor his/her teaching
curriculum to match the needs of the student.
In addition, our tutors
develop a unique relationship that extends beyond
the typical teacher-student relationship. Students
view tutors as trusted mentors and friends. They
therefore are able to interact with their tutor
in a low stress, trusting environment, which we
believe is essential in promoting a stronger education.
Our Organization:
ROPES
was developed by students and teachers for students.
As a non-profit organization, our mission is to
help students achieve their full potential while
providing self-rewarding experiences for our tutors.
Furthermore, we are committed to giving back to
the community by granting merit-based scholarships
to deserving graduating high school seniors.
