FAQS

TPL partners with families on their educational journey in a variety of ways. We begin with a complimentary consultation to understand a family’s needs and then we provide a custom proposal with our personalized recommendations. From there, we can create a custom roadmap to outline an educational plan, provide you services through our team, or connect you with the right resources. When working with our team, we track progress to ensure goals are being met. Our mission is to provide a customized education solution that meets your specific needs.

An educational concierge is a personalized service that provides guidance, support, and resources to help individuals achieve their educational goals. Similar to a personal concierge, an educational concierge works closely with clients to understand their needs and develop a customized plan to help them achieve their objectives. As an educational concierge, we provide a variety of in-house services combined with meaningful recommendations. We serve as a bridge connecting you to all your educational needs.

We believe that no one size fits all and through a village of support and resources, we curate and connect you with the services and/or people you and your family need to meet your educational goals. We use play as a central connector between teaching and learning, hence the reason it is in the center of our name. This looks different for all ages, but the primary purpose is to build a foundation for lasting learning through rapport building and high engagement. Ultimately, we seek to create and nurture lifelong learners through our educational philosophy and approach.

TPL provides educational services to families with children as young as 18 months up to college-aged students in various educational settings. In-person tutoring is available for families in the greater Los Angeles area. Remote service options are available for families across the nation and internationally.

Our consultations typically offer an opportunity to connect with one of our Directors or Learning Specialists to discuss your specific goals, aspirations, and needs. This is a time for us to get to know each other to determine how we may best be of service. Consultations generally last 30-45 minutes depending on the extent of your family needs. Afterward, we provide a custom proposal for your consideration. Our aim is to equip you with the necessary information to make an informed decision. We are excited to assist you in taking the initial step towards supporting your family.

Our team is available for admin support from Monday to Friday, between 9am PST - 6pm PST. However, our tutors are available seven days a week and can work with families to establish a suitable time frame that accommodates their needs beyond the standard hours. Please note that extended hours need to be agreed upon by the tutor and the family in advance.

The costs of our services are customized and modular based on the needs and levels of support required. By offering a range of options from tutoring and roadmaps to referrals and concierge guidance, TPL strives to make educational support accessible to everyone by finding the best options for each family.

TPL provides customized roadmaps for parents and learners to help navigate and simplify their educational journey. Roadmaps are a customized step-by-step plan for your unique situation, blending academic, athletic, creative, and social-emotional guidance for a more integrated educational experience. They are a springboard for families to implement DIY, mix-and-match with our services and referrals, or hand over to us to implement in their entirety. Roadmaps can combine different aspects of the above listed guidance to meet a family’s specific needs. In the end, families walk away with a sense of ease, peace of mind, village of support, and a plan in hand.

Some of the most popular roadmaps offered by TPL include Preschool through highschool Admissions, College Bound, Holistic Homeschool, and Early Learning. However, TPL can customize roadmaps to fit the unique needs and goals of each family.

While both Educational Therapy and Academic Coaching involve working with students to improve their academic performance, there are some key differences between the two approaches. TPL's tutoring approach includes Academic Coaching, which involves our teachers providing content-specific instruction and executive functioning skill development. This approach is tailored to each student's needs, and our team works closely with them to identify effective strategies and maintain ongoing communication with parents. On the other hand, Educational Therapy is a specialized approach for students with learning difficulties or disabilities that require more extensive support and tailored interventions. ET's analyze neurological assessments to determine the root cause of academic struggles and work alongside our tutors and allied health professionals to create a network of care and support for students.

In short, while Academic Coaching is an integral part of TPL's tutoring approach, Educational Therapy is a specialized approach for students with learning difficulties or disabilities who require more extensive support and tailored interventions.

At TPL, we recognize the importance of a holistic approach to the educational journey. We believe that this approach should involve not only the student and their family, but also outside professionals, mental health providers, and the school team. That's why we're committed to collaborating with anyone who is part of your village.

Our collaboration with school professionals often takes the form of meetings and ongoing communication between the school team and the student's home team. This can involve discussing the student's progress, strategizing ways to support their academic and social-emotional needs, and providing IEP (Individualized Education Program) support when requested.

By collaborating/working with school and health professionals, we can provide a comprehensive support system for students that addresses all aspects of their educational journey/learning path/academic trajectory. This collaboration helps to ensure that students receive the individualized support they need to succeed in school and beyond.

TPL provides individualized educational services, beginning with an assessment of the unique needs and goals of the child and family. We offer differentiated curriculum choices and work with a village of professionals, including Speech and Language Pathologists, Educational Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and teachers, to provide whole-team support. We collaborate with educators that have experience working with special needs and recommend outside professional services that may be beneficial. We also help interpret IEPs and neuropsych evaluations to determine next steps. A personalized learning plan is created for each student with specific goals tracked for progress.

Homeschooling is an increasingly popular alternative for many families. We understand there are many reasons why families choose to homeschool. There are endless possibilities of what your schooling approach can look like. Whether you are thinking about homeschooling for the first time, are a well seasoned homeschool parent, or somewhere in between, TPL offers a variety of services to support our homeschool families.

At TPL, we believe that learning is a limitless process, and we understand that there are many school options available to families. That's why our specialists provide 360-degree support to families who are searching for, applying to, and deciding on the best-fit school for their child. We offer placement and admissions guidance for a variety of schools, including preK-12 schools and online schools, as well as college counseling services.

To support families in this process, we create an admissions and college roadmap that is tailored to their specific needs. This roadmap may include a curated list of schools, a school tour guide, interview practice, test prep guidance, informal assessments, application review, and portfolio development. We are dedicated to providing families with the guidance and support they need to navigate this often complex process.

For those who require more comprehensive support, we can refer families to an external college counselor or offer additional tutoring services. Our goal is to provide families with a comprehensive support system that ensures their child's academic success and enables them to reach their full potential.
