By integrating activities that encourage creativity and empathy in the online classroom, The Tutor Guru helps students develop essential skills for success in the 21st century through connection, metacognition, and reflection.


Creativity allows students to think outside the box, solve problems creatively, and express themselves in unique ways. By incorporating art, music, and topics of interest to the students, the tutor guru nurtures creative skills and confidence.
