HistoryAthena In Home Tutoring Services of Upper Marlboro is part of an expanding franchise, Athena Learning Centers, which was established in October 2011. Through it's partnership with Pearson Education, Inc., Athena developed the Math Navigator and Literacy Navigator Common Core program series. The Navigator program specifically aligns with Common Core State Standards to provide students with the essential strategies of success.SpecialtiesWe provide your child with a thorough educational assessment and develop a learning plan aligned to meet the standards of your child's grade, both in Common Core and non-Common Core states. We've developed the Athena API-or Assessment for Personalized Instruction. Our assessments are research based, time-tested, and administered with experienced educational staff. Most of the time, certified teachers will tutor your child twice per week for about 60 to 90 minutes of instruction per visit. We work with students individually or in small peer groups. We generally recommend focusing on one subject at a time but will accommodate two subject students by parent request
