Mundo Academy
Mundo Academy is an in-home academic tutoring and test prep company based in Pasadena, CA. We seek to create educational equality by providing academic preparation services to an economically and ethnically diverse student population. That is why we partner with schools and nonprofits to offer low cost test prep courses. By helping your child, you help us bring valuable services to the community at large. Academic Coaching Students often need a helping hand in learning how to navigate school. Whether they need support with study skills, time management, homework, organization and grade management, our experts will create academic plans to help students reach their ultimate potential. Tutoring We offer expert tutoring in all learning levels of math, science, English and Spanish for middle school and high school. Our tutoring does not targets student needs, but also fills in the gaps in foundational knowledge as to ensure future success. Test Prep Our individualized test prep programs take a three-pronged approach. We select substantive material to ensure that students learn the most commonly tested concepts. We teach test-taking strategies. Finally, students take practice tests to put it all together to increase speed and accuracy. Community Partnerships We offer free test preparation courses in partnership with Puente Learning Center in Boyle Heights, CA. Our courses and bootcamps seek to bring expert instruction to students in communities that don't have access to effective test prep.
