STUDENT SUCCESS – After just 5 tutoring sessions!
“I have learned so much from doing this with Sioux (CLC tutor). I feel like I’ve moved up so much in math.” -J. (7th grade student)
1st Grade Success!
“I like school and I like tutoring! I’m learning songs and all my ABC’s. I learned how to count. I use my fingers sometimes and it’s so easy. Ms. Rose (teacher) and Ms. Hope (tutor) are teaching me. I like them. I learned how to make animals. I made a magic penguin and an airplane. Ms. Rose taught me how to write my name. I have friends that I like to play with. I like to make a really good taco out of play-doh. I like to sing the “Days of the Week” song and the “Months of the Year” song with Ms. Rose and my friends. -V. (1st grade student)
Here’s What We’re Doing to Keep Our Staff & Students Safe
Cleaning and Sanitizing
We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our building under normal circumstances. Additional cleaning and sanitizing protocols have been implemented as follows:
- routine sanitizing and cleaning of common areas throughout the day
- routine sanitizing of high-traffic, high-touch surfaces
- tutoring tables and chairs are disinfected throughout the day
- tutoring tables and chairs are disinfected between tutoring sessions and again when the building is closed for the day
- entire building is cleaned and sanitized each night, including wiping down all surfaces in every room and fogging with a military-grade disinfectant, Decon 7
- Every child will have his/her temperature taken upon arrival and any child showing any signs of illness or who has recently been around someone who is ill will not be allowed in the building.
Tutoring Set Up
- Students will be seated to maximize the distance between seats.
- Students are expected to socially distance.
- Sharing of materials and supplies will be minimized.
Handwashing/Hand Sanitizing
- Students will be encouraged to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer.
Masks or Face Shields
- All CLC Academy staff and tutors must wear masks or face shields.

PostcardMania helps our students get ready for school!
The magnificent Joy Gendusa, Founder and CEO of PostcardMania, and her incredible Executives and staff held an in-house fundraiser to help our students start the new school year off right! They donated backpacks filled with school supplies for every student in our K – 3rd grade classes! They also donated brand new PE equipment and gift certs to Publix and Bro’s Pizza for a student pizza party! The students, parents and staff are grateful for the generous donations and always appreciate the ongoing support from Joy and her stellar PostcardMania team. *Pictured: PostcardMania’s Sophie Klein (left) with CLC Executive Director Jen Nickerson (right)
English as a Second Language Tutoring Success!
“Yesterday I went to (a) restaurant and I saw in the menu the word ‘dip.’ I say to my husband, ‘Wow, I know this word. Let’s order this!’”
“I feel that I speak English much better. Before I felt worried when I spoke to some people, but now I don’t worry.” –T.Z. (adult ESL student)
Math made easy! We help adults, too.
“I came in to clear up some of my confusions on math. As a senior citizen who loves to study, I knew this area was popping up enough to give me quite a bit of trouble. So we took care of the questions and mysteries and it’s now a fun and interesting subject to me.”
“I liked the approach to the subject I needed help with. I learned the history, various origins, purposes and failures and stupidities of math! Greatly raised my confront, affinity and understanding of all types of math. It was great!” -S.S. (adult student)

Middle School Student Success!
“D. has an A – 100% – in math now! I was surprised that he did this on his own with the help of Ms. Sioux (CLC tutor). Ms. Sioux helped a lot and showed him how to do the math problems correctly. He is really enjoying the online distance tutoring, too. We want to continue tutoring even when we go on vacation to California!” -K.N. (parent of a Pro Tutoring student)
