APRISE Learning is a founder-led K–12 education program based in Lake Forest, Illinois, offering small-group classes and private instruction in Mathematics, Coding, Data Science, and Financial Education.

Our programs are designed to build strong conceptual understanding, sharpen problem-solving and analytical skills, and help students become confident, independent learners.

APRISE Learning is taught by the founder — a PhD educator with university-level and K–12 teaching experience who remains directly involved in instruction, curriculum development, and student progress to maintain a consistently high standard of teaching.

Our instructors are selected for their subject expertise, strong academic backgrounds, teaching experience, and ability to work effectively with students. We look for credentialed educators who can do more than master the subject — they must be able to explain challenging concepts clearly, recognize where students get stuck, and adapt instruction to the needs of individual learners.

APRISE Learning is based in Lake Forest, Illinois. Local students can participate in in-person instruction, while students outside the area can join live online classes and private tutoring.

Online instruction is interactive and conducted in real time, allowing students to ask questions, work through problems with the instructor, and receive immediate feedback. We work with families to identify the format and schedule that best fit their needs.

We serve students from Kindergarten through 12th grade, with programs that grow in depth and complexity as students advance:

• Elementary School (K–5): Foundational mathematics, number sense, and early problem-solving
• Middle School (6–8): Pre-Algebra, Algebra, advanced mathematics, Coding, and Financial Education
• High School (9–12): Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Precalculus, Calculus, advanced mathematics, Coding, Data Science, and Financial Education

A free evaluation helps us determine the most appropriate starting point for each student.

Yes. APRISE Learning offers after-school instruction in Mathematics, Coding, Data Science, and Financial Education for K–12 students.

Programs are available in small-group and private formats, with in-person options for local families and live online instruction for students outside the Lake Forest area. Afternoon and evening scheduling gives students opportunities to strengthen their skills and explore advanced subjects beyond the school day.

Families can begin with a free evaluation at apriselearning.com/free-evaluation.

APRISE Learning offers programs across four primary areas:

• Mathematics — from elementary foundations through Calculus and advanced problem-solving
• Coding — Python and project-based programming
• Data Science — data analysis, statistics, modeling, and analytical thinking
• Financial Education — money management, investing, accounting, entrepreneurship, and financial decision-making

Together, these programs help students develop mathematical, computational, analytical, and financial thinking — skills that become increasingly valuable as students progress through school, college, and beyond.

APRISE Learning offers four distinct math pathways so families can choose the format and time frame that best fit their student's needs:

• Full-Year Math — structured, progressive instruction throughout the academic year for students building long-term mastery and advancing through the mathematics curriculum
• Spring Math Crash Courses — focused, intensive programs offered primarily from March through May for students who want to close gaps, strengthen skills, prepare for finals, or advance before the school year ends
• Summer Math Programs — summer group learning designed to keep skills strong, reinforce important concepts, and help students prepare for the coming academic year
• Private Tutoring — individualized 1-on-1 instruction tailored to a student's specific goals, pace, academic gaps, coursework, test preparation, or advanced learning needs

A free evaluation can help determine which pathway is the best fit for your child.

Our mathematics curriculum is aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) while extending beyond grade-level requirements when appropriate.

The goal is not simply to cover required material, but to help students understand why mathematical ideas work, connect concepts across topics, and apply their knowledge to unfamiliar problems.

APRISE Learning is primarily focused on enrichment, mastery, and long-term skill development. Our programs emphasize conceptual understanding, mathematical and analytical reasoning, and independent problem-solving.

Homework support can also be incorporated when needed. Private tutoring can address specific assignments, academic gaps, upcoming assessments, or other immediate needs while helping students strengthen the underlying concepts.

Yes. APRISE Learning provides targeted homework support for students who need help with specific concepts, assignments, or problem areas.

Homework support can be incorporated into private tutoring and is also available to enrolled students through targeted support sessions, subject to scheduling availability.

APRISE Learning's coding courses are structured, progressive programs rather than isolated lessons. Students build skills from one session to the next while applying what they learn through exercises, problem-solving, and projects.

Courses generally meet weekly, with sessions lasting approximately 60–90 minutes. Program length varies by course and season. Coding instruction includes Python and introductory data-focused programming, with course levels designed for students at different stages of experience.

Contact us to determine the appropriate course and starting level for your child.

APRISE Learning's Full-Year Math programs provide structured, progressive mathematics instruction throughout the academic year.

Students build skills systematically from one concept to the next while developing deeper mathematical reasoning and problem-solving ability. Programs are designed for students who want to strengthen their foundations, remain on track academically, or advance beyond their current level.

Because instruction is delivered in small groups, students receive direct feedback while still benefiting from discussion and collaborative problem-solving with peers.

Yes. APRISE Learning offers Spring Math Crash Courses for middle and high school students who want to make meaningful progress in a focused period of time.

Offered primarily from March through May, these intensive programs are designed to help students:

• Close learning gaps
• Strengthen important concepts from their current course
• Prepare for final exams
• Build confidence before the school year ends
• Advance into material that prepares them for the next course or grade level

Crash Courses are available across multiple math levels, from middle school mathematics through Calculus, with focused instruction around the concepts and problem-solving skills students need to move forward successfully.

APRISE Learning's Spring Math Crash Courses are designed primarily for middle and high school students, with courses spanning levels from middle school mathematics through Calculus.

Students may use a Crash Course to close gaps in their current course, strengthen essential concepts before finals, or accelerate their learning in preparation for the next level.

Because students enter with different needs and goals, a free evaluation helps determine the most appropriate course and starting point.

Yes. APRISE Learning offers Summer Math Programs designed to help students stay academically engaged and continue progressing during the school break.

Summer programs give students opportunities to:

• Reinforce important concepts from the previous school year
• Keep math skills strong through consistent practice
• Address areas that need additional reinforcement
• Maintain academic momentum during the summer
• Begin working ahead in preparation for the coming school year

Unlike our intensive Spring Math Crash Courses, Summer Math Programs emphasize continuity, retention, practice, and steady advancement throughout the summer break.

Private summer tutoring is also available for students who prefer individualized support, targeted skill recovery, or a personalized advancement plan.

The two programs serve different purposes.

Spring Math Crash Courses are intensive, focused programs offered primarily from March through May. They are designed for students who want to close gaps, strengthen their current course before finals, or accelerate into the next level before the school year ends.

Summer Math Programs are designed for ongoing learning during the summer break. They help students retain what they have learned, continue practicing, strengthen areas of weakness, and — when appropriate — begin preparing for the mathematics they will encounter in the coming school year.

Both programs support continued mathematical growth, but the timing, pace, and primary goals are different.

Yes. APRISE Learning provides dedicated competition math preparation through private tutoring, tailored to a student's current level, target competition, and goals.

Our advanced math instruction emphasizes the problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and analytical thinking needed for competitions such as Math Kangaroo, AMC 8, AMC 10/12, and MOEMS.

Dedicated group competition preparation courses are also planned as part of our advanced math offerings. Contact us to discuss your child's goals, competition timeline, and the best preparation option.

Yes. APRISE Learning provides dedicated SAT and ACT preparation through private tutoring, tailored to a student's target score, testing timeline, and individual areas for improvement.

Our high school math instruction strengthens the algebra, functions, data analysis, and advanced mathematics skills that are important for success on these exams.

Dedicated group SAT and ACT preparation courses are also planned as part of our high school offerings. Contact us to discuss your student's goals, testing timeline, and the best preparation option.

Yes. APRISE Learning offers structured Financial Education for middle and high school students, helping them build practical knowledge they can use throughout their lives.

Topics include:

• Personal budgeting and saving
• Money management and financial decision-making
• Investing fundamentals
• Compound growth and the time value of money
• Accounting and financial statements
• Entrepreneurship and business finance

The emphasis is not simply on learning financial terminology, but on understanding how financial decisions work and developing the analytical skills needed to make informed choices.

APRISE Learning's Financial Education program gives middle and high school students practical financial knowledge they can apply in real life.

Through live, instructor-led classes, students learn about money management, budgeting, saving, investing, accounting, and entrepreneurship — while strengthening the mathematical and analytical thinking behind sound financial decisions.

Rather than simply introducing financial concepts, APRISE helps students understand the reasoning behind them so they can evaluate choices, ask better questions, and make increasingly informed financial decisions as they grow.

Getting started is simple:

1. 1Book a free evaluation. We spend approximately 30 minutes understanding your child's current level, needs, and goals.
2. 2Receive a personalized recommendation. We identify the program, level, and format that best fit your child.
3. 3Register and begin. Once you select the appropriate option, we'll help you get started.

You can reach us at info@apriselearning.com, call 312-529-0807, or schedule an evaluation at apriselearning.com/free-evaluation.

Start with a free evaluation or consultation so we can discuss your child's grade level, prior knowledge, interests, and goals.

From there, we can recommend the most appropriate Financial Education course or learning path. Programs are available for both middle and high school students.

We begin with a free 30-minute evaluation designed to understand what your child already knows, where there may be gaps, and what they are ready to learn next.

Placement matters. Material that is too easy can limit growth, while material that is too advanced can create unnecessary frustration. The evaluation helps us choose a starting point that is appropriately challenging and gives the student room to progress.

The free evaluation is the best first step. It gives families an opportunity to meet us, discuss their child's goals, and understand how APRISE approaches instruction before enrolling.

Contact us to ask about trial-session options for the program you are considering.

APRISE Learning does not require families to commit to a long-term contract simply to get started.

Enrollment terms vary by program and format. You can view current course offerings in our Course Catalog, where courses can be filtered by grade level, term, and program to find the options that best fit your student.

For questions about tutoring packages, enrollment terms, or cancellation policies, contact us directly. You can also browse the Course Catalog at apriselearning.com/course-catalog.

APRISE Learning intentionally keeps group classes small, generally 4–6 students, so instructors can engage directly with each student, answer questions, and provide meaningful feedback throughout the session.

Private 1-on-1 tutoring is also available for students who need fully individualized instruction.

APRISE Learning offers two instructional formats designed for different learning needs.

Small-group classes follow a structured curriculum and allow students to learn alongside a small cohort while benefiting from instructor guidance, discussion, and collaborative problem-solving.

Private tutoring is built entirely around one student's needs. Sessions can focus on academic gaps, accelerated learning, homework, test preparation, competition mathematics, or targeted concept development.

Some families use one format consistently, while others combine group classes and private tutoring depending on the student's goals. Contact us to discuss which format is the right fit for your child.

The right starting point depends on your child's age, prior coding experience, comfort with problem-solving, and goals.

APRISE Learning uses Python as a core programming language because it allows students to develop foundational programming skills while creating a natural pathway toward data science and more advanced computational work.

Our coding classes combine structured instruction with hands-on practice and projects. A conversation or evaluation can help us determine the right starting level for your child. Book a free evaluation to get started.

A typical session combines clear instruction, active problem-solving, guided practice, discussion, and real-time feedback.

Because classes are small, instruction can adapt as students work. When a student needs more explanation, the instructor can address the underlying issue; when students are ready for greater challenge, the material can go deeper.

We also encourage students to develop stronger learning habits — including how to approach unfamiliar problems, organize their thinking, check their reasoning, and learn from mistakes.

Online classes take place in a live, interactive virtual environment where students and instructors can see one another, discuss concepts, share screens, work through problems, and receive feedback in real time.

Contact us if you would like details about the technology used for a particular program.

Please let us know as early as possible if your child will miss a scheduled session.

Make-up options depend on the program, class schedule, and circumstances. We will work with you to identify the most appropriate way for your child to stay on track.

We keep parents informed about their child's progress through periodic communication and direct feedback when something important arises.

Depending on the program, progress may be evaluated through:

• Instructor observations and feedback
• Skills and mastery checks
• Completed assignments or projects
• Progress toward defined learning goals
• Changes in independence, accuracy, and problem-solving ability

Because APRISE classes are small, instructors can follow each student's development closely rather than relying only on grades or test scores.

Every student begins from a different starting point, so results and timelines vary.

Our goal is to help students develop stronger subject mastery, greater confidence, better problem-solving habits, and increasing independence. For students addressing academic gaps, progress may also be reflected in stronger classroom performance and better preparation for future coursework.

In Financial Education, the goal is for students to develop practical knowledge and analytical skills they can apply to real financial decisions.

The timeline depends on the student's starting point, goals, consistency, and the type of progress being measured.

A focused concept gap may be addressed relatively quickly, while deeper mastery, stronger problem-solving habits, and long-term confidence develop over time. During the evaluation process, we identify the student's priorities so families have a clearer understanding of what progress should look like.

Tuition varies by course, format, and program length. Current pricing is published on the relevant program pages at apriselearning.com.

APRISE Learning combines small-group instruction, deep subject expertise, and a broad academic focus spanning Mathematics, Coding, Data Science, and Financial Education.

Our programs are taught by the founder — a PhD educator — and led by credentialed instructors. Small class sizes allow instruction to respond to how students are actually learning rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

Across subjects, we emphasize understanding, reasoning, and problem-solving. The goal is not simply for students to complete more material, but to become stronger thinkers who can apply what they know in unfamiliar situations.

Yes. APRISE Learning can increase the depth, complexity, and pace of instruction for students who are ready for greater challenge.

Advanced students work beyond routine exercises and are encouraged to explain their reasoning, connect concepts, recognize patterns, and solve unfamiliar problems.

Depending on their goals, advanced students can pursue Full-Year Math, use a Spring Math Crash Course to accelerate before the end of the academic year, continue progressing through Summer Math Programs, or receive individualized advanced instruction through private tutoring. For students interested in mathematics competitions, APRISE also provides dedicated competition preparation through private tutoring.

Yes. APRISE Learning works with students who need to rebuild foundations as well as students seeking greater academic challenge.

The free evaluation helps identify specific gaps rather than treating a student's difficulty as one broad problem. From there, instruction can focus on strengthening the underlying concepts while continuing to move the student forward.

Depending on the student's needs and time of year, this may mean joining a Full-Year Math program, using a Spring Math Crash Course for concentrated gap-closing, continuing through a Summer Math Program, or receiving individualized support through private tutoring.

We prioritize deep understanding, while also preparing students for tests and assessments when that is part of their goal.

Strong test performance is more sustainable when students understand the concepts behind the questions rather than relying only on memorized procedures. Our instruction therefore combines conceptual understanding, problem-solving, and targeted preparation when students are working toward a specific exam, competition, or academic milestone.
