Company description
We exist to help students of all levels, from kindergarten to college, achieve their goals. Our purpose is simple: we teach our students how to overcome obstacles rather than simply finding ways around them.
Lynn Ellis, founder of Head of the Class Academic & Counseling Center, states: "It has become commonplace to modify components of educational programs for these kids–but modification is not education. Rather than lowering the playing field through modifications, we need to level it through adaptations and various teaching strategies."
Each tutor at the center is an expert in his or her discipline, holding bachelor's, master's or even doctoral degrees. We assist students who are struggling in a variety of academic areas; by using innovative teaching and tutoring techniques, we can rapidly bring any willing student up to speed. Our motto is a simple one: failure is not an option.
Because our programs are focused on advancing students quickly, even individuals at the top of their classes can benefit from our enrichment and test preparation courses. Studies have demonstrated that individuals who work with a tutor consistently outperform their peers on standardized tests; in a competitive college admissions environment, those extra points often make a significant difference and likely lead to scholarship opportunities.
Whatever your goals, wherever you struggle–you'll find solutions and encouragement here. No matter where you are academically, the Head of the Class is where you belong.
