Curate artifacts that tell the story of growth: lab reports, code, builds, and reflections. We also guide scholarship searches and timelines.

How It Works

  1. Choose or bring your curriculum. We review your materials and identify strengths, gaps, and hands‑on opportunities.
  2. Build a plan. We co‑create weekly milestones, labs/projects, and tutoring cadence aligned to your goals.
  3. Learn & iterate. We track progress, adjust supports, and prepare artifacts for portfolios, fairs, and scholarships.

Delivery: virtual by default with periodic local meetups/workshops when scheduled.

Scheduling & EFA Direct Pay

Families can request an invoice for ClassWallet/Direct Pay or pay privately. We’ll confirm dates and send a simple onboarding checklist.

  • Weekly, bi‑weekly, or intensive blocks
  • Semester clubs and projects
  • Competition timelines with milestones

Bring your curriculum. We’ll make it come alive.

Tell us your learner’s goals, the materials you’re using, and your timeline. We’ll recommend the right mix of tutoring, labs, clubs, and pathway planning.
