STUDOR focuses on nurturing the relationships that impact a learner’s life by providing the resources and support to strengthen those relationships to ensure an enriched learning environment. Studor strives to develop whole, life-long learners who can succeed in both their professional and personal lives.
STUDOR is named after the STUDent and tutOR relationship, where everyone involved in a relationship is both a student and a tutor. By placing every learner as a student at the core, STUDOR emphasizes developing the individuals around that learner who would serve as a tutor in their lives. By making the tutor the learner, the tutors learn just as much from their students about the art of teaching and process of learning.
Strengthening this two-way relationship has led STUDOR to achieve tremendous gains in developing life-long learners.

Background
Started in 2007 by Hetal Jani, STUDOR was the answer to many parents’ questions about how they can get their children to love learning and naturally do well in school so they did not have to cram for tests and standardized tests. After teaching many standardized tests, like the SHSAT, TACHS, SAT, SAT 2s, GRE, and LSAT, the founder, Hetal Jani, realized that studying just for a test did not guarantee success on the test. Many top test prep programs failed to address the academic needs of students. Even if students did well on the test, it did not guarantee they would be able to succeed afterwards because of the academic gaps they still had.
Working with parents and students, Hetal Jani created research based curriculum and approach of small scoped lessons that built on the student’s strengths and understanding. Using multiple levels of support and multiple approaches to instruction that piqued the students’ interests, Ms. Jani saw quick results that lasted across subject areas. If a student excelled in English, it also improved their word problem solving skills in Math. If they understood a math concept, science made more sense. With this increased understanding, students increased their confidence and realized knowledge is truly power!
STUDOR stands for Success, Technique, Understanding, Direction, Outreach, and Relationships, and we focus on all of these values when working with your child or improving educational services that directly impact all students. Our holistic approach not only targets academic needs but also gets students to quickly learn new topics because of the focus on relevant curriculum so they stay ahead of the curve. This level of confidence makes learning really easy and, with the emphasis on organization and best learning practices, STUDOR Scholars truly excel! We are excited to work with you and your students and show them and the world the endless possibilities when someone becomes a life-long learner.
"Hetal served as my tutor during my most formative years, and completely changed the trajectory of my academic life through her guidance, support, and expertise.”
