 Tutoring at Baker Language & Learning Center is offered to students from all walks of life, preschool through high school. We encourage a Socratic method of dialogue; that is, we like to see students asking questions and then developing the skills to research for those ancillary answers. In this way, a student begins to develop a critical approach and a life-long love of learning. |
