About the provider

Doug Thorburn is the Director and Center Director. The program says it has been trusted by families for 25+ years, and it states a mission of "Beyond tutoring - we create academic independence" and a goal of moving students from "I can't" to "I've got this." Doug Thorburn grew up in Los Gatos and is now giving back to the town that raised him.

What families say

“We love Engenius! She went from C's to B's in one report card and now does her homework alone, without a fight!” — Elizabeth S. — Parent of 8th Grader

“My son used to shut down the second he saw a math worksheet. After 3 months at Engenius, he's solving problems before I even sit down to help. I didn't know he had it in him. Turns out he just needed someone to find the missing gaps.” — Jessica M. Parent of 6th Grader

“We tried two other tutors and all they did was work on homework with my daughter. Engenius actually figured out why my daughter was struggling. She went from D's to B+'s in one semester. Now no more dinnertime fights!” — Marcus T. Parent of 9th Grader
