At Ace School, our revolutionary curriculum transcends traditional education by leveraging the science of spaced repetition—not mindless memorization. Concepts reappear strategically throughout our program, strengthening neural pathways as students engage with the material. This deliberate approach instead cultivates deep understanding through repeated, meaningful exposure. Our students develop genuine mastery and critical thinking skills that prepare them not just for exams but for life's complex challenges. Don't settle for education that fades—choose the proven system that transforms information into lasting knowledge.

Learning doesn't just benefit from repetition—it demands it. Our advanced preparatory approach gives your child a decisive academic advantage that traditional education simply cannot match.
When your child walks into class, they'll already have encountered key concepts multiple times while their peers struggle with first exposure. This isn't just helpful—it's transformative. While other students grapple with brand-new material, your child will be confidently building upon familiar foundations, processing at a deeper level, and making connections others miss entirely.
Research conclusively demonstrates that this pre-exposure method doesn't just marginally improve results—it creates a compounding effect that accelerates understanding exponentially. Each previous encounter with the material strengthens neural pathways, turning what would be challenging new concepts into recognizable building blocks for advanced thinking.
Can you imagine the confidence your child will develop when they consistently grasp concepts faster than their peers? This isn't just about grades—it's about fundamentally changing how your child experiences education and their relationship with learning for life.
Why settle for standard educational outcomes when your child deserves every possible advantage in today's competitive world?

Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing material at increasing intervals of time. It's based on the idea that we forget information more easily when we first learn it but that if we review it at increasing intervals, we can remember it for longer and longer periods of time.
Here's how it works:
Learn the material. This could be anything from a new language to a set of facts for an exam.
Review the material soon after you learn it. This could be a few hours or a day later.
Review the material again after a longer interval. This could be a few days or a week later.
Continue reviewing the material at increasing intervals. The longer you remember the material, the longer you can wait between reviews.

Yes! Psychologists have proven that humans forget over 40% of newly learned material within just 10 days of memorization—and that's assuming they reviewed it thoroughly to begin with. For information encountered only once, retention rates plummet even further.
Spaced repetition isn't just another learning technique—it's the scientifically validated solution to this universal cognitive challenge. Fortune 500 executives, elite performance coaches, and prestigious educational institutions worldwide have embraced this method precisely because it works.
Still unconvinced? The evidence is overwhelming. Memory decay follows a predictable curve, with knowledge disappearing at an alarming rate without proper reinforcement. By implementing spaced repetition techniques early, we're not merely helping students pass tests—we're equipping them with a transformative skill that will deliver measurable advantages throughout their academic journey and professional careers.
Can we really afford to ignore a proven method that dramatically improves long-term retention when the stakes of education are so high? The question isn't whether we should adopt spaced repetition—it's why we haven't already made it standard practice.

Young and Emerging Learners
At present, we provide small group classes for students in grades 1-8. Our aim is to support learners by helping them develop the essential habits, skills, and concepts needed to thrive in today’s highly competitive academic environment. By incorporating spaced repetition, we ensure that students gain a strong mastery of subjects, allowing them to fully grasp new concepts as they advance.
High Schoolers
We also offer a class in AP Statistics for our High Schoolers. This class is ideal for those who need help grasping the concepts for the AP class and can also be helpful for the motivated student who wants to get ahead.

At Ace School, we are dedicated solely to providing in-person tutoring sessions. We firmly believe that face-to-face interaction creates a significantly more dynamic and effective learning environment compared to online alternatives. Direct engagement allows our tutors to pick up on subtle cues, foster deeper connections, and maintain a focused, distraction-free setting essential for optimal learning. Furthermore, choosing in-person sessions actively helps limit your child's daily screen time, promoting better concentration and retention. We are convinced this hands-on, present approach ultimately leads to stronger understanding and more meaningful academic progress for our students.

Our curriculum is thoughtfully crafted to captivate students and foster a love for learning through a dynamic mix of teaching styles. Each session blends essential direct instruction with collaborative small group activities and fun, educational games designed to reinforce key concepts. Critically, our program content is meticulously aligned with the learning standards and pacing of Frisco, Prosper, Plano, McKinney, and Allen ISDs. This ensures that what your child learns with us directly prepares them for success and builds confidence within the familiar framework of their own school system right here in our community.

We believe in the unique advantages of small group learning, which is why our classes are intentionally capped at a maximum of 10-15 students. This intimate setting ensures every child receives personalized attention and tailored guidance from our expert tutors, addressing their specific needs effectively. At the same time, students benefit from a dynamic and supportive peer environment, fostering collaboration and motivation through fun activities like friendly group competitions and engaging educational games. It's the perfect blend: individualized support combined with the energy and shared learning experience of a group, making learning both effective and enjoyable!
-
We understand that occasional absences are unavoidable. While we cannot offer makeup sessions or refunds for missed classes, we ensure learning continuity. Any homework assignments or materials covered during the missed session will still be shared with your student. To catch up on specific points of confusion, students are welcome and encouraged to reach out to their tutor with questions for brief clarification after their next regularly scheduled class.
-
All sales for our tutoring sessions are final, and we do not offer refunds or returns on purchased classes or packages once payment is made. This policy is necessary because enrollment reserves a dedicated spot for your student, limiting availability for others, and significant planning and resource allocation are made based on committed registrations. We believe consistent participation yields the best academic results, and our structure supports this commitment throughout the billing period.
-
Our tutoring services operate on a quarterly billing cycle. You will be billed once every three months. The service cost is $225 per month, meaning each quarterly payment will total $675 ($225/month x 3 months), covering the upcoming three-month period. This billing structure helps secure your student's place in the program and allows our tutors to provide consistent, uninterrupted educational support.
