Our classes are designed for the learner who thrives in small group environments. We cap all of our classes at 5 learners. This allows for less distractions, more focus, more discussions and an ability to build a long lasting and authentic rapport with the educator. We understand that every student has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. That's why we offer customized learning plans tailored to each student's indiviudal needs

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐔𝐬
The most important thing we want all parents to know is that we focus on the learner who does best in small groups. Our class size never goes above 5. 

In addition, we are gamified and project based learning centered. These methods of teaching are, in our opinion, the best way to keep learners engaged and interested which ultimately leads to mastering a skill. 

We are a group of professionals who all have one thing in common - our passion is to foster the love of learning within all of our classes.

Our organization is parent and student centered as well! Everyone learns differently and most learners soar in a class with less distractions, more talk time and more attention from their teachers. 

We pride ourselves on our communication, professional classroom management, loving and kind rapport with both parent and learner, inclusivity, class expertise and all around positivity.

Here you will find a plethora of classes all taught by fantastic life long educators!
