We know that it is important for your child to perform well academically. We also understand that no two children are alike. There may be many reasons that a child many be struggling with subjects such as math, reading, English or science. Our assessments also help pinpoint a student's strengths and weaknesses. Our one-on-one tutoring staff will be there to correct mistakes before they become habits.

Stages of brain development in the left and right hemispheres begin when children are between the ages of 3-5 years old. It is an advantageous time for children to cultivate both hemispheres as they learn about the world. The JELIC (J-Judgment Quotient, E-Emotion Quotient, L-Logic Quotient, I-Intelligence Quotient, and C-Creativity Quotient) has developed a complete curriculum based solely on hands-on experiences with many kinds of manipulation. This helps to enhance a child's capabilities for procedural and creative thinking. These exercises help balance the development of both hemispheres of the pre-school to kindergarten age brain.

MPM stands for Multi-Process-Model. MPM is a self-learning math system with personalized materials uniquely arranged for each student according to his/her individual needs. MPM math helps children learn logic, reasoning and computation.

To improve overall math skills by balancing the growth of concept and computation abilities.
To promote problem-solving skills through the development of independent, divergent, and creative thinking.
To encourage an active, self-learning attitude.

Learning music is a wonderful way for students to develop their talents and at the same time have fun.
