Who We Are

Having grown up in an academically austere household, Progressive Learning Institute’s director, Nathalia Orton, realised over time that impactful education often flourishes in the midst of empathetic connections between teachers and students. In other words, she became certain that academic success only emerges in particular learning environments. She also discovered that the student’s level of comfort and ease of communication were critical ingredients to optimal learning. She and her team meticulously understand that progress comes with discovering each student's unique mode of learning.

Ultimately, a holistic approach was and remains the key and this paves the way for her company’s continued dedication to the field of progressive education.

Methodology

Before learning can begin, educators must first understand the student.

Time and time again, educators treat students all the same. A uniform method is applied to every student and the result is predictably lackluster. Progressive Learning is highly tuned in to how each student learns and where their shortcomings lie. With this knowledge, every student is catered to with a unique set of educational plans.

Learning doesn’t happen overnight.

When students struggle, there is always a reason why. Whether it’s trouble at home or school, overwhelming academic pressures or even lack of self confidence, the reason for lagging performance is not always in the books. Progressive Learning takes all of these variables into consideration and approaches each student with patience and empathy. When students are given opportunities to relax and be their authentic selves, their performance almost always improves.

The material has been taught. Now what?

We recognise that too often, students forget much of what they’ve learned over time. Progressive Learning trains students to apply what they’ve learned in their daily lives so that their brains identify and conceptualise the material to be of practical importance. This helps trigger their long term memory rather than short which is an applicable skill to many subjects. What is more, this psychological approach to academic review has been shown to be remarkably effective.
