EleMental Learning Announces the Opening of Its Long Island Practice

Kings Park, NY, September 27, 2007 – EleMental Learning, an in-home tutoring company headquartered in Naperville, IL, announces the opening of its Long Island practice serving both Suffolk and Nassau Counties. 

EleMental Learning was founded by former classroom teacher Lori Skurka based on the belief that the mass marketed curriculum offered by other major tutoring companies cannot possibly address the need and personality of each diverse student.

“Having spoken with many different parents about the unique learning needs of their children, we came to the conclusion that the ‘cookie cutter’ approach applied by the other national tutoring companies falls short of addressing each student’s specific needs and style.  We formed EleMental Learning to match students with high quality tutors who are assigned based on their fit with the student’s academic needs and learning patterns,” said Ms. Skurka.

The Company’s activities on Long Island will be led by regional Director, Karen Chanda.  “EleMental Learning’s arrival here provides a fresh alternative to tutoring on Long Island,” said Ms. Chanda.  “The Company refuses to define itself using the same mass marketed curriculum model that other major tutoring companies follow.  Only EleMental Learning combines the personal touch of a private in-home tutor with a broad array of carefully screened tutors from which to choose.”

EleMental Learning will provide in-home tutoring services across the entirety of Long Island.   Tutoring is available at all grade levels in the core subjects of math, reading, language arts, science, social studies, and history.  All core subject tutors are actual certified teachers.  The Company also provides foreign language tutoring, standardized test preparation (ACT and SAT), study skills remediation, computer literacy training, and other personal coaching services.
