Hi! My name is Sara Bretana and I am the owner of Enlightened Learning. I began tutoring over 20 years ago. Over the years, two things became abundantly clear.
1) Students who fall behind are often left behind.
2) Many students struggle in school for reasons beyond the concepts!
Teachers are working hard doing the best they can to educate our students. Unfortunately, with so many students per classroom, teachers often are not given the time they need to partner with students individually when they begin to fall behind. That is where we come in!
Our entire center is dedicated to coming alongside each of our students and helping identify the areas in which they struggle. Together, we help our students fill in any missing links, understand the concepts, build confidence, and develop core life skills such as organization and time management.
On top of this, we also see students who are struggling because they don't connect with their teacher's education style. Every student is unique! Some students are auditory learners while others process information visually or tactically. To enable students to absorb as much information as possible, our tutors incorporate each student's individual learning style in the educational process. We are here to serve your students. But, don't take it from us! Read what other families have to say about our center under Testimonials!
We'd love to answer any questions you might have. You can call or text us at (805) 402-8402, or email us:
