OUR STORY
Started in 2007 by Hetal Jani.
Started in 2007 by Hetal Jani.
It started in 2007 with parents asking us one question. How can our children love learning and do well in school, without cramming for tests?
We had taught the SHSAT, TACHS, SAT, SAT 2s, GRE and LSAT, and we saw the problem clearly. Studying just for a test did not guarantee success. The academic gaps were still there after test day.
So we changed how we teach. With families and schools, we built a research-based curriculum: small lessons built on each learner’s strengths, many levels of support, and more than one way to learn. A learner strong in English got better at math word problems, and a clear math concept made science easier. Confidence grew, and our learners realized that knowledge is truly power.
