Our bilingual teachers provide most needed educational help in middle school Math, algebra, geometry, Calculus 1 and Calculus 2 to help refugee and immigrant children move forward to their regular class level as many refugee and immigrant children are admitted two years behind their actual class level. For example, a newly arrived 9th grader is placed in 7th grad at any middle or high school in the United States. We provide them with the necessary help to move forward to their actual class level.
