Why Signet?
If you’ve come to us, it’s because you want to give your kids every opportunity to succeed.
We believe education can be a powerful, transformational tool in a student’s life, and we’d love the opportunity to talk to you about how we can aid you in empowering your student to explore their passions, build lifelong learning skills, and find meaning and growth through their educational journey.
More than just tutoring
What we do is so much more than just tutoring.
We will pair your student with a talented and professional academic mentor in whatever flavor they happen to need – biology, test prep, college essays, study skills, etc. What’s more, we can help you be an academic super-parent – have all the right info, at the right time, from people you can trust.
Mission
We help young people build towards lasting, holistic success through academic mentorship that integrates:
Skill-building & academic excellence
Reflection & personal growth
Developing self-knowledge & self-confidence
Core Values
Care Deeply
Great education begins with caring. We care deeply about our students’ and families’ holistic well-being as well as their academic successes. We make a daily commitment to do good work for our students, families, and colleagues.
Collaborate
We work collectively to meet the needs of our families, and we partner with students and parents to achieve goals and solve problems. We strive to be open-minded and open-hearted.
Grow
Growth is at the heart of everything we do at Signet. A growth mindset makes goals more achievable and creates a more fulfilling academic experience for students. As colleagues, we encourage each other to grow personally and professionally, and we are always pursuing ways to improve our business.
Inspire Confidence
Confidence is a cornerstone of academic success. By being knowledgeable, methodical, and reliable, we build and earn the confidence of our students, families, and colleagues.
Teach students, not subjects.
We care about the whole student, not just their academic performance. We endeavor to understand students as people with goals, fears, hopes, and dreams, and to shape our teaching to fit each student’s needs.
“We contacted Signet when our son needed occasional help in advanced mathematics. He has described his tutor as the most talented math teacher with whom he has ever worked. My son has told me that his tutor has a way of asking clear questions that get him to think about a problem differently and help him to understand complicated concepts.”
— D. G., PARENT
