OUR STORY
Started in 2007 by Hetal Jani.

2007 · Started by Hetal Jani
Small lessons built on each learner’s strengths
20 years of experience, today with PATH
STUDOR started in 2007 with Hetal Jani, answering parents’ questions about how to help their children love learning and succeed in school without cramming for tests
After teaching standardized tests like the SHSAT, TACHS, SAT, SAT 2s, GRE, and LSAT, she saw that test preparation alone did not guarantee success. Learners still faced academic gaps.
Working with families and schools, she built research-based curricula that build on each learner’s strengths. With multiple levels of support and ways to learn, learners gained confidence and saw that knowledge is power.
