How long have you been in business?
We have been in business since 1979.
What is your primary product or service?
We provide one-on-one tutoring. We have provided service from pre-school through seventy-eight year olds. We provide help with most areas of the curriculum. Primary areas are reading, writing and mathematics.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As owner, I started tutoring at age 7 in my backyard. At 14, I was involved with a literacy program in my community for Hispanics through Girl Scouts. I taught in public education for 33 years and continued to tutor students in the summer and after school.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are just one-on-one with our tutoring. The lessons are written to meet the student's learning style and on a daily basis. There are no prepared packets. Our setting is in a home and is relaxed and informal.
