About
Lumen Learning Center offers classroom style tutoring, private one on one tutoring, homework help, homeschooling classes, and remote tutoring for grades K–12. Students can work on most subjects taught in grade K–12, including Math, English, Reading Comprehension, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Calculus, Science, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Japanese, and other subjects, as well as ESL (English as a Second Language for all ages), SAT or ACT test preparation, STEM programs, and special programs for summer school.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Open Monday–Thursday with daytime and early evening hours, plus daytime hours Friday–Sunday
Lumen Learning Center states that each student is paired with the best fit tutor for individualized attention, with experienced tutors individually matched with students through small group classes or one on one instruction. The center offers the choice of tutoring sessions at the center, in the student’s home, or through remote tutoring using free online conference software like Skype or Zoom for private learning sessions or group classroom style learning. For SAT or ACT preparation, an initial diagnostic test is given to assess areas of greatest need, and multiple practice tests are given to allow the student to practice and measure their improvement. Lumen Learning Center reports that tutors set up a fun and creative environment, implement a variety of teaching materials, and create individualized programs that allow students to reach their full potential and become life-long learners.
The center’s mission states that it is founded on the belief that students learn most effectively when the learning environment is inviting and the work is interesting. Lumen Learning Center has professional teachers with years of experience who provide personalized instruction, and it is led by Louise Schie, Founder and Executive Director. Louise Schie’s experience in Montessori teaching and as an Elementary Curriculum Director is described as the basis for creating individualized learning programs for students of all abilities in K–12 classes, and her background in child development and child psychology is described as informing positive and stimulating programs for tutoring children of all abilities and ages.
Lumen Learning Center is an approved vendor for Ocean Grove Charter School, and it states that homeschooled students are provided with an environment to maximize their learning success. One parent from Saratoga reports that their 5th grader’s writing and reading comprehension improved, including a 6-point DRA increase in 6 months, and describes the staff as loving, supportive, and professional. Another parent from Los Altos reports that Louise identified their 5th grade daughter’s learning style and that grades and confidence improved, and that a 3rd grade daughter began to enjoy multiplication and division after math tutoring. A parent from Sunnyvale describes Ms. Louise as easy to talk to, reports significant strides in reading and phonics, and states that Ms. Louise has a customized approach for each child and makes learning fun.
