Our Journey, The Story Behind BetterGradez
As a parent of a 12-year-old daughter and a 9-year-old son, I've always been committed to their education. With an MBA and a Master’s in Computer Science, I understand the value of quality learning and the opportunities it brings. Having experienced different educational systems, I appreciate the one that fosters true understanding and practical application over memorization.
When I enrolled my children in a well-known tutoring center, I quickly noticed problems. With ten kids per teacher, there was no personalization. Each child got the same workbook weekly, without regard for their unique strengths or challenges. The tutors, though kind, couldn’t connect deeply with students. My kids, who had been ahead, lost interest. They didn’t grasp the "why" behind their learning, and the reward system of fake money soon lost its appeal.
This led me to create BetterGradez—a place where each child is truly understood. We provide personalized, one-on-one coaching that goes beyond academics to focus on study habits, self-awareness, and self-management. At BetterGradez, we don’t just teach concepts; we help children build confidence, manage their time, and set goals. Our holistic approach ensures they’re prepared not just for exams, but for life.
By leveraging technology, we connect students with top educators across the U.S.—professionals who respect children and nurture their academic and personal growth. My goal is to transform the educational experience, reigniting a love for learning and equipping children with the tools to succeed—not just in school, but in life.
