Personalized to Each Student's Needs
Stepping Stones to Learning, LLC has been an integral part of the San Gabriel Valley community for over 50 years. Our tutors, academic life coaches, and educational therapists are strategic academic mentors who not only focus on helping a student master school now, but on providing the skills and tools necessary for them to be able to navigate school and life independently in the future.
We unlock student potential
Each student receives 100% of a specially-matched tutor, coach, or therapist’s attention, which helps us determine individual learning strengths and needs. At Stepping Stones, the goal of each educator is to build confidence, instill a love of learning, and teach students to become independent learners. Thoroughly getting to know each student and determining why learning gaps are occurring allows us the ability to be flexible with how we are supporting each learner and adjust to the changing needs of our students.
Our subject tutors are skilled at helping students understand material while our educational therapists and coaches are skilled at teaching students the skills and tools they need for their unique learning profiles. Having our team working side by side offers a distinctly unique opportunity to collaborate and help students succeed in all areas of school life. Ensuring that students have the tools necessary to be successful throughout their academic career is our aspiration.
