Our philosophy
the FUNDAMENTAL thinking that guides us
Socrates quipped that, “learning is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel,” and we absolutely agree.
Torch Tutors began as a single person teaching English to those who struggled with the language. As he accumulated more and more students, all wanting to improve their vernacular and compositional skills, he realized that there was an epidemic in the education system. School is built with the average student in mind, which ultimately means that 50% of children underperform in the current academic setting.
Knowing this, he began planning something that was much bigger than him: a capable team of passionate tutors that were eager to pass their ambitious flame down to the next generation. To reach out to those students who feel displaced and left behind and to give them the same hope as other learners. This company is his plan manifested.
our goal
Torch Tutors’ ultimate goal is to enable students to the point where tutoring becomes unnecessary. In other words, to successfully pass on the kindling that illuminates the murky darkness of incomprehension.
Our core beliefs
These are the beliefs that govern our company and the very roots of this business. Our tutors share these beliefs and have a duty to uphold and perform according to them.
Inherent Uniqueness: Though there might be some ways to group people into certain categories based on varying traits, we believe in going past labels. This means we take time to understand our students and craft instructional lessons that are grounded with them in mind.
Integrity: Everything we say, we do. Even our founder is still an active tutor combating the education epidemic today. By doing this, we proclaim that will not lose sight of what’s important and that our company is not led by people who have profit in mind.
Idealistic Imagination: Torch Tutors have an obligation to be imaginative, we believe that an active imagination with the goal of helping our students thrive produces results in not only academics but life as well.
Immutability: As long as we’re here, we’re unstoppable. A Torch Tutor does not resign to the depressive forces that plague the education industry, but they keep fighting for the student’s mind.
Independence: The ultimate goal of Torch Tutoring is to imagine a world where our services aren’t needed. This means we strive for students to be able to depend on themselves as a source of comprehension and not to have to use our services forever.
