Thank you for the interest to join our team at LEAP! LEAP Math and Reading (“LEAP”) takes a unique approach to education. We believe that children learn and improve through practice with critical thinking, which eventually leads to mastery and confidence gain. Our objective is not to “pass” a student, but to ensure that they understand and master the topics. That is the philosophy under which we operate. We want to foster an environment where the students feel comfortable and excited to be here.
