There is nothing more important in terms of your child’s future than his or her education What you choose to invest in today will multiply in return over the course of your child’s lifetime leading to increased opportunities, skills and confidence. This return doesn’t end with your child. It continues for years to come as knowledge and quality of life are passed down to each new generation in your family.
At Paragon, we believe all people are inherently inquisitive and natural learners. Children are born with the instinct to ask “why” and to explore their surroundings, and it is our job to act as guides in this journey.
Every child’s education should be a given, not an option. The cost of what an average family spends on “extras” each week can give your child the boost he or she needs to excel in school and beyond. Your child is ready, so begin today.
Working in collaboration with parents, teachers and other support networks, we surround our students with an enriching environment that promotes ease of learning and gives your child the space to gain and practice independent skills. Constant reflection and feedback are also key components of our structure. Students are assessed at the start of enrollment and periodically throughout their time with us so that we can ensure a tailored program that changes with your child. After all, every student is unique and that is something to be celebrated.

Starting where your child is…
In-home tutoring…
Beginning with the future in mind…
Through an in-person meeting, skills assessment and collaboration with teachers, we do our best to gain a thorough understanding of your child’s needs and your goals. Then we develop a program specifically built to fulfill those needs.
All of our tutoring is provided within the comfort of your own home. Or if you prefer...at a convenient and suitable location of your choice.
Tutoring is not merely about this test or that assignment. It is about building the skills and passion for lifelong learning both academically and personally.
Building relationships… Strong relationships are essential for successful learning. In addition to matching your child to the instructors that best fits his or her needs and personality, we also highly encourage and provide opportunities for parent and teacher involvement.
Schedule and pay on your terms…
Independent learning…
You decide how much tutoring you’d like and when you’d like it. Simply purchase hours and use them as you see fit based on a schedule you’ve set up with your instructors.
It is not our intention to have your child become dependent on our services for success. Success is something all students can achieve on their own, and it is our job to provide the right tools and guidance to make sure that happens.

vision & values SFN’S SCIENTIFIC VISION Guided by its mission and its values, the Society for Neuroscience (SfN)’s vision is that the next decade should be one of breakthrough discovery that will lead to the translation of scientic advances to improve the health of people everywhere. As SfN represents the entire range of scientic research endeavors aimed at understanding, treating, and preventing nervous system disorders, it fosters the broad interdisciplinarity of the eld that uses multiple approaches to study the nervous systems of organisms ranging from invertebrates to humans across various stages of development, maturation, and aging. SfN also facilitates the translation of research ndings into treatment strategies, encourages information transfer from the clinic back to the basic research arena, and contributes to the breadth of the eld of neuroscience, and its creative use of all the tools of modern biology to understand neural function in health and disease. Neuroscience is a rapidly evolving eld that benets greatly from, and helps to drive, the ongoing development of powerful new tools used to acquire and analyze experimental data. The effort to make efcient use of the staggering amounts of diverse information known about the nervous system raises challenges that have social,
In Carrying Out All Of Its Activities, The Society For Neuroscience Is Committed To The Following:
SfN will play a key role in confronting new issues by challenging and energizing the eld through active dialogue with federal funding agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, and others, to dene current needs and to develop strategies for meeting them. SfN’s perspective on the eld’s current nature and its future trajectory permeates all the elements of the strategic plan and will guide the initiatives aimed at enhancing key scientic functions, including the annu- al meeting and The Journal of Neuroscience. This perspective will guide the ways in which SfN will strive to serve its membership and frame the public outreach and governmental interactions.
Ful lling its Mission in a socially, economically and environmentally responsible fashion, including minimizing SfN’s environmental footprint through energy efciency, recycling, and other initiatives, and being mindful of the broader impact of its day-to-day practices.
Identifying and serving the needs of SfN members as well as the eld of neuroscience. Continuing to promote greater diversity of representation of women, minorities, and young investigators, along with geographic and specialty balance, in SfN’s meetings, confer- ences, committees, and governance processes. Seeking innovative ways to utilize technology to better serve members and to help manage the problems of scale as a successful association in the 21st century.
Developing effective strategic relationships and collaborative initiatives with appropriate external partners, including other scientic so- cieties and associations, health advocacy groups, foundations, public agencies, government entities, educational institutions, corporate entities, information technology service providers, etc. Building a model of iterative planning into the fabric of SfN governance and management processes, incorporating regular evaluation of the impact and success of initiatives and activities and periodic revisiting programs.

SFN’S ORGANIZATIONAL VALUES ethical, and technical dimensions. Some of these challenges are common to biomedical research and its subdisciplines of bioinformatics and scientic ethics. Others are unique to neuroscience by virtue of the tremendous complexity of neural circuits and their role in controlling behavior. These challenges prompt opportunities, as well as responsibilities, to develop new tools and approaches for integrating and advancing the understanding of the nervous system.

ANNUAL MEETING STRATEGY THE ISSUE: The rapidly expanding and increasingly complex body of neuroscience knowledge challenges the society to recognize and react to changes quickly enough to sustain the scientific excellence of the meeting. WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN? In coming years, the meeting might have to accommodate more than 35,000 attendees and 18,000 abstracts. SfN must improve its ability to organize vast amounts of content.

HOW DO WE MAKE IT HAPPEN? A working group to be named by council will consider long-term meeting strategies. Staff and the program committee will explore ways to expand the capacity of the meeting within its existing framework. An improved system of reviewing and updating the meeting’s list of themes and topics will provide better documentation for groupings and changes.
