Director of Studies

Learning doesn't have to be complicated, but it does require effort. While some might tell you that learning should always be "fun" or "easy," we believe that the hardest thing is to keep trying and failing with methods that just don't work.


At Pal, we're dedicated to the Science of Learning, which means we only use teaching methods that are backed by solid research and have a proven track record of success. We know that the most creative or inspiring ideas are meaningless unless they can genuinely help your child thrive.


We believe that every student has a unique potential and their own path to success. Our goal is to ensure every student develops the academic skills and knowledge needed to achieve their goals and handle the challenges life will present. After all, the ability to write a great essay or solve a complex equation won’t stop your child from becoming a successful entrepreneur or a compassionate leader.


To create a balanced environment where students can grow academically, morally, and in their careers, we focus on what's effective and avoid educational fads. We take this balance seriously, ensuring that every minute dedicated to academics is as effective as every opportunity for extracurricular activities.


This same commitment to balance extends to our entire community. We know that achieving outstanding academic results requires a strong partnership between our dedicated teachers, engaged families, and our supportive community. We hope our resources will help you to strengthen that partnership with us!
