To be considered, the organization must designate what the money will be used for, and how much they are requesting. We ask that the money be used to directly provide a service for families or children, and not for overhead/administrative costs.

If you are looking for increased skills in mental math, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, etc., or increasing fundamental knowledge of concepts, or succeeding in the NJ ASK, ERB, we have it all. Our curriculum has what it takes, to succeed in various types of testing, because most tests are more than just speed and accuracy of mental computation skills – they test fundamental knowledge and have extensive word problems that require teaching children how to decipher what is being asked of them. Each of our study packet consists of about 20-40 mental computation problems on a daily basis + practice problems from the 2014 Core Curriculum topic/s for the week. So the child practices mental math and covers a variety of topics every day.
In English, we have some of the best phonics, word blends, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension and writing program by far! It truly builds a great grasp and knowledge of the language and improves performance in state testing and several entrance exams; builds great skills and fundamentals for higher level writing, grammar and vocabulary.
We also have condensed courses for Algebra II, PSAT/PLAN tutoring with qualified teachers, great materials tips and testing strategies for test taking.*
The best part and fundamental cornerstone of our program are our professional tutors. We do not just hand out homework and only complete a few pages of practice problems in class. Our tutors are experts in their field. They actually “teach” children in small groups of upto 5 students. Our tutors, undergo rigorous assessments themselves to ensure their knowledge is current and extensively train to provide the best instruction and attention to children, to keep them engaged and interested, provide a fun, informative learning environment.
And our pricing beats other tutoring options, we don’t lock you into contracts and are flexible month to month. So come on over to our new center on the corner of 13th and Grand! See the difference, get a free placement test for your child and help your child become a WizKidTM at school!
