ABOUT THE FOUNDERS:
In the early 2000s, Dr. Park's Academy was founded by Dr. Park, who received his Ph.D in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M, and his wife. Dr. Park and his wife have always been passionate about education. Dr. Park has been a long-time teacher, originally beginning his career as a Professor. In the 90s, he began working for NASA and specialized in space vacuums. Dr. Park has had long-term familial ties to Alaska, and in 1998, Dr. Park became an Alaskan resident and is the lead mechanical engineer for a local non-profit company with an operating budget of $430 million and 2,000 employees.
ABOUT THE ACADEMY:
Dr. Park's Academy is the premiere licensed and accredited professional institution specializing in educational and career planning services for all ages. At Dr. Park's Academy, no age is too young or old to begin planning your own or your child's future success. The Academy specializes in K-12 education, with particular focus on standardized testing (i.e. K-12 standardized testing, SAT, SAT II, ACT) and college preparation aid and guidance. Each tutor values higher education, and has an advanced degree, ranging from Master’s Degrees to Ph.D’s.
The Academy is passionate about education and 200% dedicated to their students' success.

Teaching Style
ACADEMY SCHEDULE & COURSES:
We tutor daily, from Monday through Sunday. From Monday through Thursday, we offer group tutoring from 3pm and on. Our private tutoring schedule is individualized during the week day. From Thursday through Sunday, we offer private 1-on-1 tutoring with individualized schedules. When necessary, we stay up with each student until they have mastered their material, and on many occasions, Dr. Park has test-prepped the cramming student until 3 am.
We offer tutoring not only targeting standardized exams, but also every high school subject. We tutor in Math, Physics, Chemistry, English, Spanish, and other subjects. Inquire, and we will cover it. We are an accredited institution and students can receive High School Credit for classes through Dr. Park's Academy. Please inquire for more details.
For our young students, we additionally specialize in enrolling and guiding them into highly gifted programs. We utilize professional psychiatrists for IQ-Testing into gifted programs, such as the Rogers Park Highly Gifted Program and the Central Middle School Gifted Science and Math Program. We currently have elementary school students we have directly tested, transferred, and enrolled.
In addition, we even offer K-8 tutoring for geography and spelling bees. Our spelling bee tutor is a 4-time school champion, 2-time state champion, and nationally ranked 8th in the 2000 National Spelling Bee. This year, she has produced a school spelling bee champion at Rogers Park.
