Hello
Welcome to First Class Tutorials, where my mission is to offer young children an exceptional, affordable education which focuses on excellence in character and academics.
My vision is for young students to thrive and excel:
1. learning to read early and well
2. understanding primary mathematics
3. appreciating excellent literature
4. developing important character traits
These are the keys to launching ahead!
My Story
My name is Keri Cruise, and I have over 20 years of experience as a tutorial educator. My Magnum Opus, or greatest work, was providing the K-12 education of my five daughters. While I strove for academic excellence, I required excellence in character above all. Today, by God's grace, my girls are all college graduates and godly, thriving professionals.
In addition to teaching my girls, I have tutored privately and for special needs high school students. My degree from Bryant University is in Business Administration and I have years of experience as a business consultant, project manager and corporate trainer. I have also volunteered for decades--running soccer leagues, producing community theater, teaching children's church, playing on worship teams and leading church small groups. Lots of variety in career and life experience!
But honestly, my passion is teaching little ones phonetic reading skills, and watching their eyes light up as they become readers. That is why I culled the very best curricula, and created this traveling tutorial program.
Why First Class Tutorials?
In the comfort of a host home, First Class Students learn the best foundations for academic success: phonetic reading, literature comprehension, primary math rules, musical memory, and character training in responsibility, resourcefulness, cooperation, integrity, etc.
Mom and Dad, you want the best for your child: learning to LOVE learning in a safe, fun, focused tutorial class.
