About GradePower Learning

GradePower Learning is unlike any other franchise in North America and is changing the way our children process, interpret, and organize information. It is important to understand that we do not tutor students. Tutoring is only a temporary fix; it's focused on getting a better grade or test score. We combine academic tutoring with cognitive learning, so our focus is on improving how children learn. We use these methods in order to teach students how to think correctly. By doing so they learn real self-esteem and they won't need tutoring year after year. This will not only give students better grades, it will benefit them for the rest of their lives. We have the widest array of these programs, such as; Little Readers, Beyond Tutoring, Advantage, SAT/ACT Test Prep, College Readiness Study, ADD, ADHD, NCLB and more! You will also have the opportunity to partner with a company that not only has 25 years dedicated to the learning and education industry, but also over 35 years experience in franchising and working with people from all walks of life to help them build a successful future for themselves and their families.
