Noumena Education Initiative
NEI is unique in its comprehensive tutoring and advising model and mission
focus. NEI serves as a “one-stop shop” for prospective international students
at the secondary and collegiate levels, as well as those seeking to improve
English and other academic skills. This comprehensive model facilitates NEI’s
instructors to obtain a solid sense of each student’s abilities and potential,
and tailor services accordingly. NEI thus more easily develops students’ skills
of active critical thinking and individual expression while emphasizing the
value of learning and balance. Universities have noted that there is much
need for a practice like ours, in a climate where education has become a focus
on scores only. Our dedication
to the social mission has brought the attention of Harvard Graduate School of
Education through which NEI has been invited as guest speakers. NEI is an
organization that works to improve its daily practice, fostering
high-performing students who uphold integrity and authenticity and creating
future global leaders that embody these ideals.
