Edussentials is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) organized in Franklin Count, Ohio. Edussentials was formed in the summer of 2006 in order to provide Supplemental Educational Services to public school students in Ohio as required by provisions of the No Child Left Behind legislation. The organizing member of the LLC is Michael Barnes. Mr. Barnes is an experienced mathematics teacher and tutor with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from The Ohio State University. Our tutors are employees of the company, not volunteers or contractors and are subjected to full background checks prior to employment. This insures their professional performance. We do not retain tutors who are unable to fulfill their professional obligations to you and your student. Tutors employed by Edussentials are well qualified to provide instruction in reading and mathematics. All of our tutors have college degrees and/or have valid licenses as teachers or instructional aides from the Ohio Department of Education. Many of our tutors have or are pursuing advanced degrees. PHILOSOPHY A careful look at our company logo provides some insights into our philosophy of education. We firmly believe that real education must address all three of the words contained in the rings. Knowledge – Certainly, education must impart knowledge to students. However, contrary to popular belief, knowledge is NOT power. Understanding – Knowledge that is not understood is of little or no use to anyone. Knowledge must exist in a context and students must be able to connect that knowledge to their own experiences in order for that knowledge to become useful. Application – Education is of little use if it does not allow us to accomplish things that we could not have accomplished otherwise. We must be able to take the knowledge we have gained, and through our understanding of it, apply it to the achievement of a goal. Finally, this is not a linear process. The
three aspects of education described above happen one at a time,
two at a time or all at once and in no particular order, depending
on the situation. That is why these words are placed on the rings
you see in our logo. They rings are a very special mathematical
construct known as Borromean Rings. The significance of these rings
is that not two rings are directly connected to each other. If any
one ring is cut apart and removed, the entire structure comes apart.
Similarly, if any of the three aspects of education outlined here
are left out of consideration, the entire idea of education falls
apart. All three are vital and must be addressed. |
