Our private teachers are experts at evaluating our client’s learning style. They employ a multi-sensory approach tailored to our client’s abilities and levels of learning. By integrating a variety of materials, including the client’s own work, a Powers Private Teacher turns learning into a process that our client can carry over to the classroom or workplace.
At Powers Educational Services,we pair each client with a Private Teacher through our One-to-One method of instruction. This personal attention ensures that no time is wasted waiting for a teacher who is working with another individual, and allows our client to progress at a much faster pace. Our commitment to this individualized approach is further enhanced by our private teaching rooms, equipped with standard school supplies, reference materials,computers, and high-speed Internet connections.
We take a coordinated, cooperative approach to education that can involve:
- Our clients,and if the client is a minor, the parents.
- School personnel
- Academic Intervention Specialists
- Psychologists & Psychiatrists
- Physicians/Pediatricians
- Social Workers
For many individuals, a significant part of the learning process lies in that person’s belief that he/she is capable of learning. At Powers,we teach each client to believe in him or herself. As a result of using appropriate levels of cognitive and achievement materials, our clients attain success at every session. By fostering the self-esteem of our clients, we teach them to firmly believe in their individual success.
At Powers Educational Services, success is not measured merely by the completion of a program. It’s measured by how well our students apply their increased self-esteem and their strengths to achieve in the classroom, workplace, and life.

Her founding philosophy is grounded in the belief that each client requires an individualized program geared toward his or her needs and learning styles. Students are taught how to unlock their abilities by using their strengths to improve their weaknesses.
