Our Worldwide Telethon weekend was filled to the brim with amazing volunteers, tremendous talent and generous donations! THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED! We had a fantastic event and we were able to get the word out about the Community Learning Center to thousands of people! We had entertainment from so many talented artists including Chill E.B., Rob Meister, Jim Meskimen, Princess Joy Villa, Diego Verdaguer, the Jam Band, the Jive Aces, David Pomeranz and the amazing Kenny Rogers! 

If you weren’t around to see this event, you can go to the Telethon page (using the tabs at the top) or by going to www.clctutoring.com/telethon and you have 30 more days you may watch it on LiveStream. Check out the thermometer on the right side of the page… great results! 

CLC has books, art, face painting and fun!

Fun at the Books for Kids event!

Please join us on Saturday, January 11th from 11am – 1pm for our FREE Books and Art for Kids event right here at our Community Learning Center! We are located at 1411 N Fort Harrison Avenue in Clearwater, FL.

Each month, we hold this free event so that we may distribute hundreds of gently used books to local children in order to encourage them to read. These books are donated by families and organizations. We provide snacks, arts and crafts activities, face painting and we will have an author attend to do a book reading for the kids. Every child may take home up to five gently-used books. This event is open to the public!

Please join the Community Learning Center tonight – Thursday, December 19, 2013 from 6pm – 9pm for our annual Holiday Party at Winter Wonderland! It is located on the northwest corner of Drew Street and N Fort Harrison Avenue in Clearwater, FL. All CLC kids get free admission to the event!

Happy Holidays and hope to see you there!

Algebra is fun!

But it is not fun if you think that Algebra is just mathematical alphabet soup. To help you clarify for yourself and your child exactly what algebra is, we are sharing this definition and WONDERFUL examples provided by one of our wonderful tutors, Jancis Dienes.

Algebra is the study of mathematical statements which are generally true.

In algebra, the statements we study form a pattern which is true no matter what number we put in that pattern.

For example:

(4+2) = (2+4)

(6+8) = (8+6)

(9+3) = (3+9)

So we can say:

(a+b) = (b+a)

Please join us on Wednesday, October 2, 2013 from 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm for our Ribbon Cutting!
