Philosophy of teaching

RISE aims to provide a rigorous and relevant learning experience for all students enrolled in our programs. We believe that all students can reach their potential if they are provided with the right type and level of challenges.

While preparing for any test (STAAR, SAT, etc) is a good goal and provides a target, RISE aims to make students enjoy reading and math life-long. This is done through discussions, bringing in applications of the concepts outside the classroom, and creating a learning community where everyone enjoys math and reading for its own sake.

If you want a learning center where your child is in the hands of an experienced teacher who knows how to evaluate their math and reading skills and who knows that discussions and analysis, NOT worksheets, are what makes a child's learning grow, you are in the right place!! I LOVE teaching!!
