About The Company
Boutique learning center specializing in Tutoring, Test Prep, Reading and Homeschool. We offer our program in-center, in-home, and online. We believe students can enjoy learning! It is our priority to uphold the highest academic standards while meeting each student’s individual needs. More than a decade of teaching experience has taught us that with tutoring, being a skilled practitioner isn’t enough. This is why we always maintain a genuine, caring commitment to each and every student in order to create sessions that are challenging, enjoyable, and successful. Many of our programs begin with diagnostic tests to identify weak areas and style of learning. This approach allows us to target our tutoring precisely to each students point of need, making each session as productive and efficient as possible. -- Groza's world-class learning facility is equipped with enclosed tutoring rooms, classrooms, testing rooms, and hand-crafted one-on-one “retreat” rooms. Our prized educational retreat embodies our philosophy that learning can be inspirational, engaging and fun. Students can sit back in our log cabin in front of our crackling fire, tutor in a meadow enjoying an expansive view, or sit in a boat, which is floating under a desk-bridge. Our one-on-one rooms are the perfect venue for focused studying for exams or standardized tests.
