History
The executive board of Honor Roll Education boasts decades of experience in alternative and after-school education. After working for years in the private enrichment field, Nadja Sarkin and Kat Barron launched their own humanistic, progressive program in the hope providing students with emphases in areas neglected in their field. Kat Barron, M.Ed., has trained teachers and designed curricula all over the greater Los Angeles area, and wanted a more humanistic approach to the students, treating them as future adult contributors to society, and not just as clients. To that end, Ms. Kat integrates creative writing and encourages reading in non-academic subjects in order to boost students' interest in subjects and overall reading comprehension. Ms. Kat also integrates her background in psychology into her teaching and training style to teach children how to approach problems from a variety of angles. When both the tutor/teacher and the student are working in synch, great things happen
