Hodis Learning & Music was founded in 2021. The founder, Drew M. Hodis, is an academic tutor and music instructor and is in school for a PhD in Clinical Psychology at Adelphi University. The program states that tutoring, music, and art lessons are available for grades K–12 and college, with services offered online/remote nationwide and in-person in the Pasadena metro areas. Students are matched with tutors or music instructors after a no-obligation consultation, and staff tutors are interviewed, hired, and trained by Hodis Learning & Music, with over 20 educators on staff for the Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Alhambra, and La Cañada areas. The program notes that educators use kindness, empathy, patience, and positive motivation, and that homeschool services include personalized learning, tailored curriculum, flexible and customized schedules, options for term durations and custom course plans, and a focus on individualized attention and holistic curriculum, with music programs for homeschool described as far more than music lessons and a critical component to child development.
The stated mission of Hodis Learning & Music is: “We help students thrive—in academics, music, and art—through expert instruction that’s tailored, effective, and affordable. Parents trust us because we take the time to understand each learner’s needs and goals. Our mission is not just better grades or stronger skills, but lasting confidence and a lifelong love of learning.” The organization donates 20% of its net profits to the South Pasadena & Pasadena Educational Foundations (SPEF and PEF), which provide funds for enrichment programs such as summer school, youth camps, afterschool classes, the South Pasadena 5th grade musical, elementary music programs, field trips, robotics programs, and grants to teachers. Hodis Learning & Music Tutoring is also listed as a sponsor of SOUTH PASADENA SCHOOLS, SAN MARINO SCHOOLS, LA CAÑADA SCHOOLS, ALHAMBRA SCHOOLS, and SAN GABRIEL SCHOOLS.
