// Grades K–9 · STEM & Academics · Los Angeles

Personalized STEM enrichment and test prep for students in Grades K–9.

Honors students at Harvard-Westlake. Leaders and captains of the FRC Robotics Team 1148. We have hands-on experience with CAD, 3D printing, robotics, programming, and academics.

Our focus is Grades K–9, but we do not limit topics by grade. A fourth grader learning Python or a sixth grader working through trigonometry is exactly the kind of student we work with.

Who we are

We are honors students at Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles. We spend most of our time on FRC Robotics Team 1148's fabrication and mechanical subteam, prototyping, machining, and assembling competition robots.

We teach and enrich because we want to share what we know. We run 3D printers at home and have experience taking designs from CAD to finished parts.

  • 03
    Personalized sessions

    We match the tutor to the subject and adjust each session to your student's pace and goals.

  • 04
    No grade limits

    We teach advanced topics to younger students when they are ready. Grade is not a barrier.

  • 05
    Hands-on project support

    We have 3D printers and experience with robotics kits and can support actual builds.
