Stepping Stones to Learning, LLC has been an integral part of the San Gabriel Valley community for more than 40 years. Our tutors are academic mentors who not only focus on teaching the subject material, but on coaching students so that they are better able to navigate their scholastic environment. Each student receives one-on-one attention, which helps tutors determine individual learning styles.

"My son's sessions are individualized to work on the areas he needs help with most and their approach is personalized to his learning style. This isn't a cookie cutter place. I was expecting him to dislike his sessions there but he looks forward to them because his time there is engaging and fun while still making progress in his development goals." - Parent

"Stepping Stones continues to put the students interests first and works closely with parents to achieve goals." - Rene, Parent

"I have been impressed with the staff and management at Stepping Stones. They have been very responsive to questions about my child's progress and their tutors I have come into contact with appear to be top notch." - Parent

"The team at Stepping Stones has been wonderful to work with. Both Anna and Carol provided my daughter with a wonderfully warm welcome, and made her feel very comfortable with the ISEE test prep process. I was extremely pleased to see Stepping Stones take the time to really get to know my daughter and her learning style before matching her with a tutor best suited to her needs. The support they offer their students is inspiring!" - Elaine, Parent

"My daughter got into her first three choices of high schools and even received a scholorship from another! I think the confidence she felt in approaching the ISEE and HSPT were a big factor!" - Sarah, Parent

"Although my son only had five visits prior to the HSPT test, he told me that he learned more in those five sessions than he did for during an entire semester of HSPT prep course he had at his school! I know we will use Stepping Stones again. Thank you!" - Parent
