BREAKING THROUGH BARRIERS SINCE 1997!

Deborah started Educational Breakthroughs in 1997, offering One-To-One Private Tutoring. Since then, Educational Breakthroughs has developed into a thriving Tutoring Center with a staff of tutors that teach at the center or virtually. Our tutors still offer Private One-To-One Tutoring, as well as Semi-Private and Group Tutoring. We work with individuals of all ages, Kindergarten through adults, offer remedial assistance, enrichment, and personal growth, PSAT/SAT/ACT prep, National Institute for Learning Development (NILD) educational therapy, study, communication skill reviews, and summer programs.


Educational Breakthroughs is proud to have served students in the surrounding local school districts and as well as nationwide virtual learning: Camp Hill, Mechanicsburg, West Shore, East Pennsboro, Cumberland Valley, Northern York County, Carlisle, Central Dauphin, Harrisburg, Derry Township and Hershey. Additionally, our students attend area private schools such as Trinity, Bishop McDevitt, and West Shore Christian Academy.

BILLY

He loves Kendo, Dungeons, and Dragons, Reading Books with many pages, playing video games, tinkering with electronics, and bragging about being an overall nerd. He plans to continue his education to the doctoral level in Physics – specifically Cosmology- not to be confused with Cosmetology.
