Our Story
Our company was built on the powerful relationships between kids, parents, and our staff. At The Modes Family, we aim to personalize every session to meet the needs of our kids and focus on strengthening their capabilities and self-motivation. Each session is flexible and designed to work with the child to complete their daily tasks and guide them on their journey toward self-discovery. We do that in the most effective way—teaching the necessary skills of their chosen subject area and building the confidence that will catalyze their learning. As the name suggests, we are a family that shares values, love, and mutual respect, qualities we are willing to share with other families.
Our experienced tutors are multifaceted educators who’ve taken it upon themselves to help the world understand the effectiveness of personalized academia. They are role models who are passionate about helping youth navigate through the pressures and rigors of growing up.
Our art and music teachers are skilled professionals with many years of child-care experience. They teach the kids the importance of having a work-life balance.
