Joy in Learning is Empowerment
For so many, learning can be heavy-laden.
For the young student, a baseline in the core subjects is established using acclaimed, independent, and universally accepted diagnostic assessments. Then, an individualized educational plan is tailored & uniquely shaped. For the young at heart, we provide space enough to move, reflect, have conversation, and discover.

Learning to read is like letting the light shine!
Autumn days spent in wonder do not need to result in a reading and math loss. Research has proven that outdoor learning has many benefits including mental health, physical health, and improved cognitive development. Just one hour a week with a tutor in conjunction with an outdoor activity can boost memory, improve attention and learning stamina!
Think Pear. Share. Inc. knows that autumn days, spent in our youth, are as brief as an autumn breeze!
Effervescent learning allows for resilience, creativity, and sense of self.
