What is an Enrichment Centers’ Small Group Tutoring Program?
The Customized Small Group program allows you to choose your child’s curriculum. Placed in smaller classes than our Enrichment Program, students often work in classes of two to five, and sometimes even one-on-one with the teacher. Our average student-to-teacher ratio for the past several years has been 1:3. These programs are ideal for students who want to work ahead, catch up, or learn new skills in a short time.
After registering, please complete our questionnaire. This will help us tailor our program to meet your child’s needs. You can combine any of our academic subjects with one of the following extracurriculars: chess, cartooning, magic, anime, fashion design, drama, dance and more.
Below you will find program descriptions:
