Empathy
Have you ever seen someone sad and felt bad for them? That’s called empathy. Having the ability to feel empathy for people is something you should be grateful for. When someone’s feeling sad or lonely you should feel empathy for them instead of be mean to them. Because maybe that happened to you...

One day, a thought came to me to develop writing assignments based on these books. I knew how difficult writing can be, being an immigrant and having […]

Cho-rim says his class is so fun!
SpiderSmart has been a godsend for my son with learning disabilities. The personalized treatment along with the practice regimen have really boosted his confidence and improved his school outcomes!
Sophie was telling me with such an excitement in her voice right after her debate class how you asked her to stay a bit after class to compliment her and that you are even going to write me an e-mail about it. You can’t imagine how much it made me and my husband feel happy and grateful, especially right at the beginning of a new year!
Thank you very much for the reading classes throughout the school year. I am glad to see that Hana’s reading and writing skills have improved. Hana really enjoyed her sessions very much!
SpiderSmart is the best tutoring center in the area. My kids started with them in elementary school until high school graduation. All the teachers are excellent and truly care about the kids. They explain concepts in a way that is effective so the kids feel better prepared. I have recommended this center to many of my friends, and we have all been happy with the results.
