Above Grade Level’s In-Home Tutoring Expands to South Carolina

National franchise grows to empower students for life, address U.S. education crisis

COLUMBIA, SC – July 8, 2013 – Throughout South Carolina, teacher layoffs and cutbacks in education are causing dire consequences to student learning. Now, even average students, who weren’t previously viewed as at-risk, are slipping through the cracks. That’s why Above Grade Level (http://www.abovegradelevel.com), a national franchise that delivers in-home, professional instruction in Math, English, Science and more is helping by expanding its services to students in Richland and Lexington counties. Providing a proven methodology for student assessment and a customized, one-to-one approach to in-home tutoring, Above Grade Level guarantees to raise students’ grades by at least one grade or 10 percentage points.

Our education system is in a crisis of sorts, says Jenna Bridgers, who has just launched Above Grade Level to the Columbia community. Above Grade Level is so committed to reversing this alarming trend that we’re offering free assessments to families who simply want to know where their child needs help. From there, we can build the learning curriculum that fills in the gaps and empowers the student with fundamentals and tools that last a lifetime.

Striving to ensure its’ students achieve lifelong success in learning, Above Grade Level is based on successful methodology, assessments and proprietary teaching materials, which have been used throughout North America for nearly 30 years. Uniquely, Above Grade Level offers highly customized assessments and instruction in the comfort of the student’s home. Because this tutoring model works so well, and considering that the hardships of the education system aren’t limited to South Carolina, Above Grade Level is expanding throughout the United States. Franchisees are meeting demand countrywide, everywhere from New Jersey to Arizona and now in South Carolina. The expanding franchise brings hope to students and provides entrepreneurs with a meaningful business venture.

I have always had a passion for teaching, but I never envisioned myself in a classroom, says Bridgers, who holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Spanish from Wofford College. In this capacity with Above Grade Level, I am able to combine my love of helping others with my degree to uniquely understand my students and their needs. I can help them realize that they are capable of more and help them recognize their own potential, in and out of the classroom.

A background in education isn’t required to operate an Above Grade Level franchise. Franchisees like Bridgers and others are skillfully developing their franchise operations thanks to the company’s support and the franchisee’s collective experience, credentials and specializations that relate to the company’s mission.
