Help your child start off the new school year feeling prepared and confident


Summer is a great time for our children to decompress and engage in fun activities. But it’s also a time when children can forget some of the things they learned during the school year, making the new school year a difficult experience. EMA can help your child catch up in a weak subject, advance in a favorite subject, and develop study skills, all with one-on-one attention. Even better, they can connect any subject to your child’s interests and passions and make learning FUN! A Summer Tutoring program with EMA can help your child thrive! Call 818-522-4482 or visit www.EducationManagementAgency.com.
