Fed up with outdated, 1-size-fits-all education?

At Addison Academy, we offer personalized, holistic, and rigorous 1-on-1 education.

"I love learning, but I have not always loved school. While I achieved academic excellence, I craved for a place to explore my intrinsic curiosity and intelligence. In an attempt to create what I wish I had as a student, I have created a school where love of learning comes first. By treating students as human beings and learning as something fun, I believe we are offering the most personalized, holistic, and engaging online education delivering measurable academic excellence. The best part, we do it in a way students truly enjoy."

What Families and Students are saying

The Bulens Family

Addison helped my son go from a 570 to a 720 on the math SAT. This opened a lot of doors for him in his college application process (biggest one being a $30,000/year academic scholarship to his top choice school). Addison made the material fun and relevant to my son with all sorts of sports anologies. Ultimately his work positively influenced my son away from numbers in addition to improving his math grades. I'd highly recommend Addison for anyone who is interested in providing the top level of math tutoring for their child.

Jessica

Thank you for having such a welcoming class. Your class makes me not only like math more, but also understand it better. I always feel happy, calmer, relaxed, and less - stressed when I leave your class. Thank you for making everyone comfortable and at ease in your class :). Thank you for also always pushing the best out of your students. Keep doing what you're doing.

Michael

Thank you for really caring for me not only as a student, but as a human being. I am beyond grateful to have you as a teacher but also a trusted adult that I can share my thoughts and heart out too. You really help me open my eyes in math and life. How you teach us really raises my excitement of learning more, expecially in math. Having you there for me helps me out a lot. Knowing I will always have you right by my side makes life a lot better

Pedagogy

Our holistic approach adapts to the unique needs of each student. We have found that rigor and excellence come naturally when curisoity, love and learning, and intrinsic motivation are nurtured. Intellectual skills are the backbone of any excellent education and it is easier to master them when you understand their purpose and power and the curriculum is fun and engaging. Inquiry based learning and the socratic method are combined with the most advanced virtual technology to create a highly effective and fun learning experience. Our work pays off not only in the classroom but also at the dinner table!
