How Can We Help?
Thriving Minds SD is a strength-based approach that harnesses the mental talents that dyslexic people share to overcome learning problems.
To do this, students must use different strategies than are commonly taught with remedial programs. When dyslexic students recognize their mental talents, they develop a renewed sense of self-esteem and confidence. When they start to apply study methods that capitalize on their talents, progress is very rapid.
Thriving Minds is owned and operated solely by Barb Rounds. When working with students, Barb utilizes a variety of methods incorporating multi-sensory components that best match the individual's learning style and needs.
All tutoring work at Thriving Minds SD is conducted one-on-one with Barb Rounds. It is guaranteed the client will not be shifted between a variety of tutors, as often occurs in other learning centers. This consistency builds a relationship of trust between the educator and the client. Building trust and addressing all areas of development creates an increased level of self-esteem in the learner. Increased confidence is the foundation for improving academic skill sets.
Barb believes learning is fun, and she wishes for her students to share that same philosophy. Guiding students to create a growth mindset is a key foundation for her students to develop in the path of being life-long learners. Using a multitude of interactive and creative teaching methods. Barb guides her students to attain academic concepts, while also guiding them to believe in themselves and to understand how they individually best learn.
