Since 2001, Summit Tutoring has been helping math and ESL students to improve. Our goal continues to be providing the best possible instruction at a reasonable price. At Summit, the focus is on you, the student, and how we may help you achieve your goals—whatever they might be.

Language is best learned by doing. The more practice and opportunity to use the new language, the quicker it will be learned and the easier it will become. Some ESL classes have 25 – 30 or more people in them, making it difficult to give everybody a chance to participate. In other ESL classes, the teacher lectures for the entire session, never giving students any practice time in class.

At Summit Tutoring, we believe that a small class size is essential for maximum learning to take place. As a result, we limit class size to 10 people, creating a relaxed atmosphere which in turn encourages students to participate at a level comfortable for them.

We also believe that every person is unique. This means that each person has his own learning style that is best for him. Accordingly, we recognize that effective teaching will utilize a variety of teaching methods to help each student understand, practice, and remember the concepts being taught. In class we integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing, so students have ample opportunity to practice English with each other before they go out into the "real world" to use what they've just learned.

The instructor, Janet M. Lee, holds both Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Mathematics. While attending graduate school, she was a Teaching Assistant in the Math Department and handled responsibilities such as explaining homework, giving quizzes, and grading tests for business calculus classes. After graduation she taught intermediate algebra and FORTRAN programming for math students at a community college.

Mrs. Lee also has foreign language experience. She is fluent in Norwegian and German, and has attended school in Norway as well as traveled by rail through Europe. She is currently learning Korean.

As mentioned above, every person is different. Thus, we use various teaching methods to reinforce the concepts being taught. The more ways a subject is approached, the easier it becomes both to learn and to remember. Some methods that we use are:

• Audio/visual – TV, movies, songs
• Games
• Comics
• etc.
