Math Tutor-Turned-Entrepreneur
Kevin Lee Reopens Center Where He Tutored During College, His Second Best in
Class Location in California
OAKLAND, CA. –Best in Class Education Center (Best in
Class), a top-of-the-line education enrichment program that focuses on math and
English, is excited to announce the reopening of its Oakland location on August
31, 2013. Situated at 919 Harrison St. Suite B, Oakland, CA 94647, the owner
of the Oakland center is local entrepreneur and longtime Best in Class tutor
and franchisee, Kevin Lee. The reopening of the Oakland location is personally
significant to Lee, as he previously tutored at the location while in college
at the University of California – Berkeley.
“This opening indicates
the progress and success we’ve seen on the West Coast,” said Hao Lam, Founder
and CEO of Best in Class. “We’re looking forward to bringing strong curriculum and
future success stories to the Oakland area. Our goal is to not only supplement
and enhance the learning process, but to make sure students are given the
necessary tools and resources they need to be prosperous in the future.”
Lee, a resident of
Alameda County, has a long and successful history with the Best in Class brand.
While attending
the University of California – Berkeley, Lee was a math and SAT tutor at the
Oakland location. Upon graduating with degrees in both math and physics, Lee
opened his first Best in Class franchise in San Francisco’s Chinatown in 2006
when he was only 26 years old. His Chinatown location continues to be extremely
successful, serving hundreds of students annually. When Lee heard the Oakland
territory was available, he jumped on the chance to own the location that
initially launched his career with Best in Class.
“Best in Class is a brand I’ve grown up with and one I’m
still very proud to be a part of. Being able to reopen the Oakland location has
been a great personal achievement and I believe my success is a great indicator
of the profound effect the curriculum has on our students,” Lee said. “I’ve seen
great triumphs happen in the Best in Class classrooms and I hope to continue
opening centers to provide a better education to students in my community.”
The newest opening is a stepping stone in Lee’s
continuous relationship with Best in Class and he plans on opening new centers
in the future. His current sights are set on a new school in Alameda County for
2014.
The brand’s ability to grow
and develop successfully in both new and existing markets is owed to the
recognizable achievements students have experienced at the centers. To motivate and help students develop
comprehensive analytical skills, Lam has created programs that emphasize
understanding and long-term retention through tailored curriculum. This attention
to individualized needs has helped Best in Class position itself as the
industry’s leading provider of complementary education to elementary, middle
and high school students.
“Our growth and
success is continuing to build, and after people experience the value of our
unique program for themselves, I have no doubt we will proceed with expansion
in California and across the country,” Lam said. “Quality education is the key
element of Best in Class’ philosophy and our opening in Oakland will only
elevate the opportunities we have to raise awareness and spread our process nationally.”
Best in Class currently
has 21 centers open in California, Maryland, Ohio, Oregon and Washington. With
franchising opportunities available in 46 states, the premier option in
supplemental education shows no signs of slowing.
