Read on to hear from current and former members and educational partners...
Director of Upbeat NYC
"We know this community of learners to be incredibly self-motivated, eager to learn, engaged and thoughtful, with parents who are supportive and actively involved in their children’s development​."
CEO of NYC Basketball Club
"The director provides confidence, compassion, and sense of purpose for TLC children, just as she has done and continues to do for the women in our Bronx community through her self-defense instruction."
NYPL Children's Librarian
"TLC students are friendly, well-behaved, and always respectful at our library. The director is charming, engaging, and wants her students to excel educationally. Additionally, she volunteers her spare time to empower women. I will continue recommending families to TLC!
English Professor at a SUNY State University
"After perusing the TLC Writing and Grammar curriculum for middle schoolers, I told Nichole that I wish all of my college students could receive that caliber of education before getting to my class. It would make my job easier!
Current Parent
"We initially planned to join TLC temporarily, with the intention of moving out of state soon after. However, as the year progressed, we quickly realized that TLC was more than just a stopgap - it became a place where our family truly thrived. The sense of community here is unmatched. Our children, ranging from preschoolers to high schoolers, have flourished both academically and socially. We've gone on memorable field trips, participated in science fairs and debates, and had so many heartwarming celebrations. It's been an incredible journey of learning and growing together.
TLC has become family. Nichole, the director, does an exceptional job of creating a warm and welcoming environment, always with kindness, thoughtfulness, and a true understanding of each child's needs. The tutors are absolutely phenomenal, bringing out the best in our kids and ensuring they receive the attention and support they deserve. What stands out most is how inclusive TLC is - children of all abilities learn and thrive here, in a safe space where everyone feels valued and encouraged.
Our children have excelled beyond what we imagined, and as a result, we made the decision to stay at TLC long-term. It's a place where our kids not only receive a top-notch education but also make lifelong friendships and memories. We are so grateful to be a part of this wonderful community!"
Current Parent
"As a homeschooling family in NYC, the TLC community has been such a gift. It is a place where my children are safe, encouraged, and loved, but they are also academically challenged, held to a higher standard, and called into a pursuit of excellence. TLC Director, Ms. Nichole, has created and nurtured a fun and educational environment in which students are inspired to think critically and engage the world, from pre-school through to high school graduation."
TLC Graduate & Now College Student
"It has been an absolute joy to be a part of an amazing, wholesome, godly group atmosphere for most of my academic career. TLC provides a truly loving environment, a sense of belonging, and a familial support system. TLC and its gifted leaders prepared me for dual enrollment classes and now successful college admission. Beyond academic excellence, TLC has helped shape my character and prepared me to be a mature, happy, kind, hard-working, and productive adult in this world. I am forever grateful."
Current Student
"I have been a TLC student for nine years. TLC has not only helped me in my education but has also contributed greatly to my emotional and spiritual well-being. I am excited to continue with TLC all the way to graduation, as I have seen how much it has prepared other TLC graduates for college. I always look forward to TLC every week, and I can't wait to see all of the new faces that will continue to come in the future."
Former Parent
"TLC has done so much for all of our children. I will always be grateful for the foundational years I had at home with my kids and for the years of homeschooling with TLC."
Current Parent
"TLC has been a blessing to our family as we entered homeschooling in 2019 and today as we continue. It has provided us structure and community, as well as guiding my children to think critically and grow academically."
C.S. Lewis
