What is Emotional Intelligence?
Goleman defines EQ as "the capacity to recognize our own emotions and those of others, to motivate ourselves, and to manage our emotions in healthy ways." Simply put, it's about understanding and managing your emotions for positive outcomes.
Why is EQ Important for Learning?
Studies show that strong EQ skills directly impact academic performance. Students with high EQ are better equipped to:
- Focus and concentrate: Manage distractions and stay on task.
- Motivate themselves: Set goals, persevere through challenges, and embrace learning.
- Develop strong relationships: Communicate effectively with tutors and peers, fostering a positive learning environment.
- Manage stress and anxiety: Maintain emotional well-being, crucial for optimal learning.
Our Approach: Tailoring Learning to Your EQ
Our tutors are trained, via Goleman’s Framework of EQ, to identify your child's unique emotional strengths and weaknesses in each aspect. This allows our tutors to create a personalised learning blueprint, activities and provide knowledge (Mentorship Programme) to help your child reach their potential and deal with their cognitive load.
Examples are:
- Strategies for self-awareness: Identifying and understanding their emotions.
- Emotional regulation techniques: Managing stress, anxiety, and frustration.
- Social and relationship skills: Building positive interactions with tutors and peers.
- Motivation and goal setting: Developing a growth mindset and achieving academic aspirations.
By nurturing your child's EQ alongside their academic skills, we empower them to become confident, resilient, and successful learners, both inside and outside the classroom.
