What We Do
The Learning Center was opened based on the simple philosophy that tutoring is the single most effective supplemental learning device students can be exposed to. Not only can our tutors connect with their students to master concepts and material, they can also impart study habits and preparedness that can last a lifetime. At The Learning Center, we aim to facilitate an environment that makes learning and succeeding enjoyable. We want students to look forward to learning instead of dreading it.

GETTING STARTED WITH ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TUTORING
Whether your child is just learning how to read, do math problems, and struggling with basic skills, or your child is a strong student and you want to continue to build their skills. The Learning Center's tutoring programs are the perfect solution to help master reading, language arts, math, science, and social studies. We’ll begin with a comprehensive academic evaluation that will pinpoint your child’s strengths and weaknesses. Then we’ll tailor a tutoring program to meet your child’s specific needs and help them learn at their pace. Our tutoring programs will help build skills and confidence for a future of success… and maybe even a life-long love of learning!
