Sharee and Gary Miller started The Honors Learning Center as an individualized academic program. The centers' goal is to improve comprehension skills for each student by one full grade level after 36 hours of instruction. For every year since 1987, Honors students have averaged a gain of two full grade levels.
Honors franchisees must have current state teaching certification.
TutorBright is the most innovative tutoring service available. Here's how it works: Step 1: Each new student goes through a diagnostic assessment that pinpoints his or her specific academic strengths and weaknesses. Step 2: The student is then given an academic program tailored to his or her specific needs based on the results of the assessment. Step 3: A tutor works through the program with the student in the comfort of their home, helping them overcome their academic skill gaps. Because of our individualized approach, we have helped students reach academic heights they never thought were possible.
