Why the Old Education System Won’t Work for Your Child Anymore

Future-proof learning for your child

Post-COVID Learning: From Shortcuts to Critical Thinking

For over a century, schools measured success by how well students could memorize and repeat information. That worked—until COVID. During the pandemic, kids got used to finding shortcuts. Online classes made collaboration (and sometimes cheating) easier. Now with AI tools like ChatGPT, every student can get the “right answer” in seconds.

AI in Education: Beyond the Right Answer

The problem? Getting answers isn’t the same as understanding. And knowing facts isn’t the same as being able to apply them.


This is the challenge every parent faces: how do we raise kids who can think critically, problem-solve, and lead, when the old ways of testing and homework don’t measure those skills anymore?

Personalized Tutoring & Mentorship: Character + Coaching + Consistency

At Westbrook Tutoring, we believe the answer is character + coaching + consistency. We don’t just help with assignments; we help kids build confidence, resilience, and the ability to stand on their own two feet. Our tutors remain on staff long-term and become trusted mentors. That’s why parents who partner with us see not just higher grades, but stronger young leaders.
