Colleen Thomas
As you walk into the Learning Center and meet Colleen Thomas, you feel the energetic dedication that makes the center successful on many levels.
“My son David gave me a gift,” Colleen said. “In 1989, he told me I needed to buy the Learning Center.”
David knows his mother’s skills. “Mom, it’s your talent and passion,” he told her.
She followed his advice. Since then, along with her talented, experienced staff, Colleen has been changing the lives of thousands of students, one child at a time.
The Learning Center focuses on helping children of all ages to fill the gaps holding them back from reaching their full potential. As her business card says, We untie educational knots.
Homework assistance is a huge component. Keeping in contact with the student’s school counselors ensures accountability and responsibility. The center does not employ a one-size-fits-all program.
Each child’s learning style is determined, which allows the tutoring to play to the strength of how a child learns best. Math, science, study skills, Spanish, reading, silent reading strategies, writing, note taking, testing practices and memorizing are other areas in which the staff instructs students two times a week, an hour for each session. All ages are welcome, with a 10-package tutoring session required.
The center takes great care to match a tutor with the student, with compatibility being the key to building relationships and connecting. Tutoring is by appointment only, allowing for flexibility with everyone’s schedule. To keep the learning happening full cycle, a student teacher is always on staff as a tutor.
If you are in need of a tutoring center exuding passion and a thirst for success, look no further than the Learning Center. With summer fast approaching, now is the time to fill those long summer days with some tutoring to keep the skills fresh.
“I pour my energy, my passion and my talent for helping kids into the Learning Center,” Colleen said. The center also has the cutest mascot, Cooper, who will bring a smile to your face with his playfulness.
