Above Grade Level's In-Home Tutoring Expands to California

MORGANVILLE, N.J., Feb. 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Throughout California, teacher layoffs and cutbacks in education are having dire consequences to student learning. Now, even average students, who weren't previously viewed as "at-risk," are slipping through the cracks. That's why Above Grade Level (http://www.abovegradelevel.com) a national franchise that delivers in-home, professional instruction in Math, English, Science and more is helping by expanding its services to students in Orange County. Providing a proven methodology for student assessment and a customized, one-to-one approach to in-home tutoring, Above Grade Level guarantees to raise students' grades by at least one grade or 10 percentage points.

"California's education system is in a crisis," says John Carter, who, along with his son, Steven Carter, and daughter Kim Bellew, has just launched Above Grade Level to the Orange County community. "Above Grade Level is so committed to reversing this alarming trend that we're offering free assessments to families who want to simply know where their child needs help. From there, we can build the learning curriculum that fills in the gaps and empowers the student with fundamentals and tools that last a lifetime."

Striving to ensure its students achieve lifelong success in learning, Above Grade Level is based on successful methodology, assessments and proprietary teaching materials, which have been used throughout North America for 25 years. Uniquely, Above Grade Level offers highly customized assessments and instruction in the comfort of the student's home. Because this tutoring model works so well and considering that the hardships of the education system aren't limited to California, Above Grade Level is expanding throughout the United States. Franchises are meeting demand countrywide, everywhere from New Jersey to Arizona and now several locations in California. The expanding franchise brings hope to students nationwide and provides entrepreneurs with a meaningful business venture.

"Steven has a background in classroom instruction and academic administration, while Kim is an early-intervention specialist," says Carter, who holds a doctorate in psychology from Vanguard University and an undergraduate degree from Syracuse University. "As a family of educators, we're excited about this opportunity to manage Above Grade Level with a unique understanding of our students and their needs."

A background in education isn't necessary to operate an Above Grade Level franchise. Franchisees like the Carters, Bellew and others are skillfully developing their franchise operations thanks to the company's support and the franchisee's collective experience, credentials and specializations that relate to the company's mission.
