Why choose us

Our Approach to Tutoring and College Preparation

Our programs are designed to help each individual student discover their fullest potential.

Holistic Approach

We act as a partner to each student in their educational journey, because we know that success is more than achieving a new qualification or getting a good grade. Our programs help students develop a range of skills to prepare them for the next step—whether that’s education or employment.

Individualized Programming

We know that every student learns differently, which is why our programs are specifically tailored to individual learning styles. Our teachers and mentors work to identify how a student learns best, then tailors their teaching to that specific style. When it comes to education, we do not adhere to a “one size fits all” approach.

Driven by Success Stories

To date, we have successfully assisted over 200+ students with their tutoring and test preparation needs. Each student has taught us something new, and their success stories drive our work. We are passionate about education and seek to bring out the best in every student we meet, no matter how old they are.

It’s our attention to the small stuff, like schedules and timelines, that ensures each student’s success. Past students and families have noted that our keen project management makes us stand out from the rest. We remain flexible while keeping a close eye on the calendar, your budget, deadlines and other important details that drive our collaboration. All of our sessions are offered individually in-person and online, 7 days a week.

Who We Are

A “guru” is defined as a mentor and counselor who guides a person to their path in life. But gurus do more than teach—they impart initiation. In other words, they light a spark.

We want each student to have a positive academic experience, no matter where they are in their educational journey. Our team is made of experienced tutors, college graduates, college advisors, educational therapists, and test prep specialists. As experts in their fields, they are prepared and ready to pass on their knowledge and empower each student to reach their fullest potential.
