STUDOR is named after the STUDent and tutOR relationship, where everyone involved in a relationship is both a student and a tutor.
STUDOR places every individual as a student at the center, bridging access to resources,
such as education and health and wellness services, around that student
so they can feel empowered to serve as a tutor to others in their lives.
Studor strives to develop individuals to be life-long learners who can succeed in both their professional and personal lives.
STUDOR’s core values of
Support, Technique, Understanding, Direction, Opportunity, and Resources!
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 learners. Even if learners 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 families and schools, Hetal Jani created research based curriculum and approach of small scoped lessons that built on the learner’s strengths and understanding. Using multiple levels of support and multiple approaches to instruction that piqued the learner’s’ interests, Ms. Jani saw quick results that lasted across subject areas. If a learner 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, learners increased their confidence and realized knowledge is truly power!
STUDOR stands for Success, Technique, Understanding, Direction, Opportunity, and Resources, and we focus on all of these values when working directly with each learner or when working to improve the systems of educational services that directly impact all learners. Our holistic approach not only targets academic needs but also gets learners to build their own agency to continue to learn and grow — to stay curious. Using advanced technology like AI to support a learner’s curiosity and delivering community building programs that solidify a learner’s foundation of support, we ensure all learner’s can stay ahead of the curve on their own and reach their full potential. This level of confidence makes learning really easy and, with the emphasis on organizational and best learning practices, STUDOR Scholars truly excel! We are excited to work with you and your learners to show them and the world the endless possibilities when they become life-long learners.
"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.”

Experience
We’ve done it all since 2007 — we’ve taught students in grades 1 - 12 from English to Science to Math. We’ve taught college courses, included Calculus, Economics, and Financial Accounting. We’ve taught standardized tests, including state tests, SHSAT, the SAT and the ACT. We’ve worked with students in who were struggling and helped them become the top performers in the class. We’ve helped students understand their strengths to get them into college. We’ve always done it with the student at the core and the parent involved every step of the way.
We want to show the world that everyone can learn if taught effectively, and we aim to work with your child, you, and your child’s teachers to prepare them for success in the future. We get to know who your child is and the important factors in their life — an approach that makes the learning process easy for them to understand because they are getting the information from more than one touch point. With STUDOR, you will be able to find Success by honing learning Techniques and Understanding the content, so you have greater Direction and Opportunity by bridging key Resources in your lives.
