We've finished our first week of tutoring in CMS. Except for one school's confusion of the start date, we had a very successful week. Almost 100% attendance from our students. We will be speaking with the SES Facilitators, Title 1 office & some of the other tutoring companies soon to assess Charlotte-Mecklenburg's program this year.
Our students are WONDERFUL! Not to mention that our tutors are the cream of the crop. Each of our tutors display a true passion for the students and their eminent success in academics. As we continue forward, we will be seeking further tutors for our move into some of the neighboring counties.
Expect great things from our students! We are truly In Goode Company with our group!

Kicking it off!
Well, it's official. We just had our first training session for our tutors who will begin tutoring ESL students in Title 1 schools throughout the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School system. I must say, it was a resounding success. We have done a great job recruiting & hiring some of the best tutors in the area. Each of our ESL Tutors really care about the students.
About our Students:
In Goode Company specializes in ESL tutoring. In our experience, ESL Students who are able to gain a grasp on the English language have much higher scores in their other subjects. With more & more word problems in math classrooms, even math requires a great degree of literacy among students. North Carolina is also introducing a Science test this year for Elementary students which we are working to prepare these ESL students to meet. As language & literacy skills improve, students gain more confidence in the classroom. With greater confidence comes greater academic achievement.
About our Approach:
By using a highly sensory teaching technique, we're able to help students who lack English proficiency learn the language with their own personal experiences. In each class, we build in a selection of various themed experiences for the students to gain a groundwork on which to build their English skills. Bringing the students together with a variety of books & visuals, we are able to express those concepts and experiences into words. As each experience & lesson completes, we are able to build upon previous lessons to forma vocabulary and understanding of science, social studies & ultimately english proficiency. As the students become more capable with English in school, their overall achievement, scores & ability will benefit.
