The Learning Lab

Get a personal trainer for your mind.

At the Renaissance Learning Lab, we specialize in success for your children...at their pace. Our tutors use the best time-honored methods teamed with new innovative techniques and strategies that allow us to pinpoint your student’s area(s) of need.

Our tutors are all professional, certified, and highly qualified teachers with years of experience. Beyond simply being certified, our tutors have the time and caring attitude that translates into quality, individual attention for your child.

Here at The Learning Lab, your child will find an accepting environment that is all about success and overcoming obstacles in their educational process. We deal with problems like ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, low self-esteem, and learning delays. Learning problems can cause a feeling of defeat in children that is often difficult to overcome. No matter how they try, they find themselves falling behind and unable to keep up with the rest of the class. The Learning Lab gives them the chance to get back into the race and see their own improvement. Success breeds success!

With a student teacher ratio of no more than 3:1, your child will receive the individualized attention needed from a professional. One on one private lessons are also available. The lower student/teacher ratio increases the learning curve. Your child’s needs are assessed to the smallest detail, and before a mistake can be repeated and reinforced, it is sensitively corrected.

All children are different. A variety of methods are employed to meet your child's individualized needs here at the Renaissance Learning Lab. Our teachers are able to assess your child’s areas of weakness and determine an exclusive academic plan to address them.

Our staff will work closely with your child and their classroom teachers while designing a program for success. Communication between the student, the tutor, the parent, and even the schoolteacher allows us all to work together and help your child succeed.

The Learning Lab offers instruction from Kindergarten through adulthood. Whether your child needs help in one subject or every subject, there is a tutor and a tutoring program here that will help.
