I Can Academy Tutoring - Mission Viejo, California

Sherry M.

I Can Academy is an amazing learning platform for kids. My daughter joined in August and is finally excelling in school. The teachers/ Tutors are wonderful. So attentive to your child's needs. The feedback after each session is wonderful. I feel like my daughter is finally getting the extra help she needs at this program. The owner Shaina is a godsend. She really enjoys helping kids succeed at their learning struggles. My daughter's confidence has improved tremendously.
I Can Academy will help your child learn and grow at your child's pace.
Thank you so much for caring for our kids' education.

My son started attending ICan Academy 6 months ago to help with his transition from SE to general education. We are more then happy with Shaina and the team of teachers. They truly care and want to see the best out of their students! The facility is quaint and inviting aswell.

Both my daughters have been attending I Can Academy since September. Both of their report cards have improved 2 grade levels in reading. The teachers and staff have been extremely helpful and supportive during our time there! We are so grateful for their approach and hard work. I can not recommend I Can Academy enough!

I am so thankful to have found ICA! My daughter has the best time when she goes while learning in the process, there is never a time where she says she does not want to go! She simply enjoys it and we are so proud at how much she has learned. It has shown in her class at school which has made us so happy. All of the teachers we have had are so sweet and approachable. We can not wait to later enroll our son when he is older.

Where do you start when something has made such a profound impact in your child's life? This year has been a difficult year for my 6th grade daughter concerning math. Worse still, as a parent you realize that the methods taught to you decades ago just don't transcribe over all that well. What we learned as seniors in 1990 they are mastering in late elementary grades. Struggling as a parent trying to teach an already confused child is as disheartening for you as it is for the child. Oh I was able to come up with the correct answer, but only after trial and error at failing at it with incorrect answers. All the while your child is looking at you, they're not saying it but they know you are dog paddling in the deep end of the pool and your arms are so very tired. That was when her teacher referred us to “I Can Academy”, in Mission Viejo. Located just a short walk away from Mission Viejo Mall, this place has been both of our saviors. Employing teachers that are actively teaching currently in the local district or have decades of experience, they have guided my daughter to first comprehending the math material (in her case) to know being able to confidently take tests in class and scoring high marks. Just 3 short months ago my daughter would cry with the stress level when she would come home, not fully understanding the material being taught. This is a common occurrence these days with over attended schools, class sizes that were unheard of in our time and a teacher that can only provide so much attention individually when the class is 30+ kids strong, all with differing needs to learn. Don't get me wrong, our teacher at the school is phenomenal. It's just that our daughter needs more indepth teaching with skills that I truthfully don't possess. Now she is in a tutoring class that has 3 children in it, that's 3 kids that actually want to learn, fully dialed in to the instructor and the course work in a private and quiet room with whiteboards, books and other learning materials.. This was our biggest deciding factor when it came to choosing a tutor. Some may be one on one that you find, but they are teaching at a table in the library. Full of sounds and distractions that hamper the lesson at every turn. We know this because we went through this with our oldest daughter. You can also try one of the cookie cutter tutoring schools out there. They are 10+ kids in the class and they are following a structured plan that was designed nationally. I’m sure that for a select group of kids this might work, but I wasn't willing to subscribe to what I feel is again an overloaded group (10 kids for an hour will not yield personalized results) when I feel that a more private approach, with a lower kid to teacher ratio would work better. How right I was, from the initial meeting we realized that Shaina and her teachers were the tailored team that would give our daughter the best possible outcome. Her tutor is a teacher that she knows at her school, teaching exactly what was needed in a way that a normal school would struggle to attain in this day and age. We just crested 10 one hour sessions and the impact is seen not only in test scores that have risen steadily, but in my child's demeanor. Gone is the stress, the tears, the look of terror on her face the morning of the test. She exudes a confidence of someone that not only grasps the lesson, but one that has found joy in the learning process. What more can you ask for from your child/student. The desire to learn more because the fundamentals are no longer floating in the ether, always just out of reach because the class has to move on to the next subject, they have become attainable. I couldn't recommend I Can Academy enough and we as a family are in debt to them for this gift of learning.

I was looking for a math tutor for my 7th-grade son when Shaina from I Can Academy reached out and introduced me to their approach.

My son has been attending their small group sessions for two months now and absolutely loves it. Not only is he learning from the teacher, but he's also picking up different strategies from his peers. Miss Sydney has great energy and does an amazing job of engaging him, making learning fun, and giving him the confidence to tackle math challenges.

Initially, I was looking for one-on-one tutoring, but I Can Academy’s small group format has proven to be the perfect solution for us.

I had the pleasure of hosting a playdate at I Can Academy this past weekend. I've been working with Shaina for the last couple of months and she is incredible. She is a talented and dedicated teacher and the space she had created at I Can Academy is nothing short of spectacular! The space is clean, welcoming, and functional. I was blown away by the incredible learning spaces she has created for her students.

I can’t say enough great things about I Can Academy! I was lucky enough to have both of our kids join in August, and we plan on having them continue on for years to come. Our son is in first grade and his reading has skyrocketed since his first 1:1 assessment with Shaina. He loves to read and write and his teachers are blown away by how far he has come in such a short amount of time. My daughter is in kindergarten and in her first 1:1 assessment with Shaina, she was working on individual letter names and sounds. She is now reading 1-2 syllable words and doing an incredible job sounding words out in her writing. Every week they run down the hall to I Can Academy and I couldn’t be happier. I Can Academy is a warm and nurturing space for all kids to learn. If you are looking for a tutoring center in south Orange County, this new center is what you have been waiting for! You should definitely reach out today to set up a meeting with Shaina. You won’t regret it! We are so grateful for everything Shaina has put into this center and everything she is doing for our kids. She is so talented and has such a passion for helping our youth excel in academia. Thank you!
