LIFESMART™
Tutor Time Indonesia is proud to introduce the LifeSmart™ curriculum. Inspired by the Multiple Intelligences theory of learning and education, at the heart of this approach is the belief that children learn and understand in different ways. LifeSmart™ teachers value the variety of ways in which children learn, and they seek to provide opportunities for children to develop their minds and abilities through different approaches, materials, and experiences.

Background on the Multiple Intelligences theory
Howard Gardner of Harvard University constructed the theory of Multiple Intelligences from research on how people learn. In his work, he identified eight distinct intelligences and accurately pinpointed parts of the brain linked to each of the intelligences. It is now one of the most prominent theories explaining how children learn, as well as how to make education more effective. This research and the theory of Multiple Intelligences earned him a MacArthur Fellowship, one of the most prestigious awards in all of education.
