We are focused on helping students achieve their full potential while providing an interesting way to learn difficult subjects. We strive to make the instruction valuable and are known to make grade improvements in less than four sessions.

Your child will gain a solid grounding and fundamental understanding of math and science as taught from first principles. It is important to note that science and math are becoming increasingly important for careers in medicine, law, research, and Bio-technology and computer technology. Our tutoring style has proven to remove anxieties in these math and sciences.

“Ragina has the unique ability to teach to the individual student’s needs. Alex has gained new insights and practical facility in Mathematics, while working with her this last year.”

“Over the past two years, Dr. Patel's math enrichment lessons have given our 7th Grade daughter the confidence she lacked in her mathematical abilities while providing her with a solid foundation for tackling increasingly difficult math concepts at school. Dr. Patel is a wonderful teacher.”

Rosemary Morgan, San Rafael

Unique teaching tools such as arts and theater are employed to make science and math interesting.

Ask about our unique Pre-chemistry program. This program is an introduction to chemistry and offered during summer. Students will discover that chemistry is fun and very relevant to their everyday life. Difficult to understand topics will be introduced slowly in clear, concise language. Students get an “A” in chemistry after they have taken a pre-chemistry course.

We also offer our SSAT/PSAT/SAT/SAT II program. One-on-one or small group tutoring is provided to help students gain confidence in taking these important exams. The number of sessions depends upon the individual student's needs and proceeds according to the progress of the student, which is measured by the student's grasp of the concepts. Practice questions are offered in each session and one practice exam is given at the end of the series of sessions.

Tutoring has provided students consistently with these important advantages:

  • College admission rates of 100%.
  • Significant grade improvement within four weeks.
  • Higher SSAT scores for private school admissions.

“I just wanted to thank you for the support you provided my daughter in preparation for the SAT and with her Physics class. In both cases you provided significant value-add which directly translated into her grades and test performance. Your ability to clearly communicate with her, the amount of preparation you did prior to your meetings with her and the completeness of your study materials for the SAT was outstanding. I have recommended you to a number of our friends. Thanks again for your help.”
