Institute For Higher Learning

Institute for Higher Learning, or IHL, is one of the best tutoring centers around. I first met Ms. Dao back in sophomore year right after I left a different tutoring center due to some troubles; which led to me to dislike tutoring centers. However, once I met Ms. Dao, my whole perspective on tutoring changed. She created a positive learning environment where everybody was involved in the learning process. I remember back in junior year when I took AP Chemistry, she would always pull the students out and lecture. Instead of focusing on memorization, she emphasized the need to understand the concepts– which helped in the long run. Now as a senior, I returned for help in my current classes which include AP Biology and AP Calculus BC. With the help of these tutors, I was able to achieve straight A’s, something I have never done since entering high school. Overall, IHL is great for people starting out at tutoring centers. The tutors try their best to create a welcoming and positive environment by developing close interpersonal connections with their students. I highly recommend IHL to every student.
