Clever Minds Educational Services

Clever Minds Learning Center opened its doors in June, 2004. Since then, we have assisted over 2, 000 students in Truckee, North Tahoe, Incline Village, and the Bay area with their learning. Students in grades kindergarten through 12th attend our center for a variety of reasons. We have students who need assistance with homework or study skills ; require individualized reinforcement of classroom concepts ; desire an opportunity to enrich their curriculum with challenging academic activities ; seek individualized assistance with language arts and math due to learning disabilities ; are home-schooled and seek a private teacher ; or are competitive athletes and require an alternative form of education due to traveling.Clever Minds has a holistic philosophy. We use non-traditional methods to teach traditional skills. While using a variety of teaching curricula, assessments, and games, goals are created according to the California State Standards for the student's grade level. We also take the time to get to know our students. As a student signs up for tutoring, we collect information from parent, student, and teacher questionnaires. With each tutoring session, students meet one-on-one with the same teacher. This creates a safe and consistent learning environment for all of our students. We are located in a comfortable house with six work spaces for quiet, focused learning. We strive to make our learning environment as student friendly and relaxed as possible.Clever Minds employs experienced and credentialed classroom teachers who teach students in the Tahoe Truckee Unified School District, Washoe County School District, Sugar Bowl Academy, Lake Tahoe School, and Forest Charter School. Many members of our staff have furthered their education and received Master's and Doctorate degrees. We feel incredibly fortunate to have such talented, energetic educators who are dedicated and excited to teach.
