About Us
Our Mission
Be the Best You Can Be!
Our passion is to
propel able learners to new heights and to enable all
students to reach their personal best. We customize our
tutoring to build solutions that meet individual needs.
We introduce our
students to the merits of the mc2, a
scientifically tested electronic memory device that promotes
new neuronal processing to maximize brain power. The mc2
has merged science and art by combining left brain
analytic and right brain dynamic processing in an
extraordinary state-of-the-art technology used to produce
profound results.
Since our inception
in 2001, we at the Center have helped hundreds of students
and we can help you too!
Our Philosophy
Peer pressure
dictates that it is sometimes “not cool to be smart,”
particularly in science. Many students come to believe,
therefore, that being smart is not compatible with being
popular. Another stereotype has it that science is all about
memorization and that scientists are rigid, close-minded,
and not creative. These misconceptions about science and the
people who study it are deeply entrenched in our culture.
By the time students
reach middle school, too often they have already “learned”
that they are “not good at science.” Their lack of
confidence can generate a self-fulfilling prophecy, whereby
low self-esteem leads to poor performance, which, in turn,
convinces students that their initial self-doubts were
indeed justified. It has been found that individuals who can
readily access both left and right brain functions are
generally more academically successful, personally
fulfilled, and well-integrated.
Philosophy in Action
“Linda
Samuels somehow manages to raise self-esteem, inspire
students and eliminate fear, and provide a relaxed, happy
environment without sacrificing rigor or very high
standards … I remember wanting to study hard because I was
motivated to achieve, not because I was afraid.”
Melanie Macaronis
Our Leader
Founder Linda
Samuels taught biological sciences at a private school in
the Boston area for
over twenty-five years. She has been nationally recognized
for her innovative classroom techniques and her advocacy of
strategies created to motivate students. Samuels
encourages collaboration over competition, interdependence
over isolation, and process learning over rote
memorization. She was admired by her students for her
dynamic demeanor, strong connection, and superior command of
the material.

Master of Science, Master in
Business Administration
"We will evaluate your child's learning
style and design a
one-of-a-kind program
that will ensure success."
Samuels is the
author of a critically acclaimed book, Girls Can Succeed
In Science!, which offers a variety of hands-on
activities designed to capture the interests of adolescents
and to highlight the relevance of science in their daily
lives. The book targets students, parents, teachers,
teachers-in-training, administrators, and all professionals
wanting to create an equitable environment. It contains
carefully designed and meticulously explained laboratory
experiments that have been devised to stimulate integration of
left and right brain processing, to counter gender
stereotypes, and to illustrate scientific principles in
action.
