Doing Whatever It Takes

Sara's Little Formula really comes down to this:  doing whatever it takes to make a student successful.  It is a combination of many things that help students.  I've developed this little formula over a 30-year span that has proven over and over that it works.  There are hundreds of students that have succeeded because of my simple little formula that works. That's why it's called Sara's Little Formula - and it benefits students in different ways depending upon what they really need.  Not every student needs the same things in order to be successful.  But regardless of what students need, Sara's Little Formula is here to help them when and where they need it.

Over the years I've seen students stress and struggle in their various math classes.  It is difficult to watch students stress and struggle - so I decided a long time ago to develop a way to help students that works regardless of what type of stress and struggle they are experiencing.  With most students, Sara's Little Formula works quickly.  Sometimes it takes a bit longer to refine the particular elements within my formula.  But the bottom line is always this:  Sara's Little Formula works because it provides for implementing whatever strategy, technique, or method that works.  It can help students improve from a B to an A while at the same time taking a student from an F to a C or better.  And in rare cases we get an F to a D.  
Life is short - and we want students to have less stress and struggle in math classes. Period. That's the point of Sara's Little Formula.

If you would like to find out how Sara's Little Formula can benefit you or the student in your life, please contact us today via our website or the SLF Consulting page on Facebook.


Sara L Fitts and SLF Consulting provide math tutorials in Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trig, Pre-Calculus, and Probability & Statistics in addition to offering 6-week courses in SAT and ACT prep.  E-courses in Study Skills and Time Management are coming soon!

Rapport is Key

Another key element in Sara's Little Formula is having rapport with my clients.  In order for students to do well in my math tutorials and test prep courses, I must build rapport with them from the very beginning of our work together.  The student must be comfortable with me and I must be able to talk with them first as people and then as students and clients.

Rapport is usually built quite quickly with my clients.  I've worked with teenagers for more than 30 years - and while I now am on average 40 years older than they are - I have stayed up-to-date with trends, technology, and what's important to teenagers so it remains easy to build rapport quickly.  As I often tell them:  "Don't let the gray hair fool you"!

Students have to know that I can help them improve their grades in math class.  Students have to know that I talk to them sincerely and that I care that they learn math more easily and with less stress and struggle.  Building rapport does not happen by talking down to them.  Building rapport does not happen by putting them down.  Building rapport does not happen by telling them "old school" ways of doing things.  Building rapport happens when I can connect with the student in a way that gives them immediate insight to solving their first problem.

Rapport is key to Sara's Little Formula.

SLF Consulting is now enrolling students in one-on-one math tutorials to improve grades in math class.  We are conveniently located across from Prince William Hospital at 8425 Dorsey Circle Suite 102 in Manassas, VA.  For more information, please contact us through our website.
