Hi, I am Beth Taylor, and connecting learning with success is what we do at MindMatters Learning Center. Our professional tutors teach the skills that students need so that they may walk into the classroom with confidence!
My background is in education and counseling. I received a Master’s Degree in Education from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Since then, I have worked with children and families from all walks of life to help them gain the skills they need to be successful in whatever they choose.
When I accepted the position of Director at MindMatters Learning Center, I never imagined that my own children would be one of our first success stories. My son was diagnosed with mild dyslexia. He avoided reading at all costs! He would never volunteer to read aloud in class, struggled through homework and dreaded going to school. His grades hovered at failing. I started him with one of our reading specialists for tutoring twice a week. Within 6 weeks, his confidence improved, he raised his hand in class to read aloud and his grades went from F’s and D’s to B’s and A’s. He is so much happier and looks forward to school.
My daughter has always struggled in math. She would start out strong at the beginning of the school year and by the holidays, she was down to low averages and failing test scores. I started her with a math tutor twice a week. She emailed me the other day from school and said, “I got an A on my exam mom!”
If you’re a parent, you know how hard it is to see your child struggle in school. Through my own experiences, I realize that tutoring not only helps build a student’s academic scores and abilities, it also builds self-esteem and confidence; therefore enabling students to actually enjoy learning!
