Shadow Classes®
Shadow Classes ®
Small Group Tutoring Sessions in Lafayette and Online
Shadow Classes® Overview
- Shadow Classes® are weekly, small group tutoring sessions that complement specific classes at local schools.
- Our gifted, highly experienced instructors help students clearly understand complicated topics, prepare for tests, and earn higher grades.
- Shadow Classes® “start where students stop” because we already know the problems they will have and how to fix them.
- We begin each year with a variety of classes for Acalanes, Campo, and Miramonte, and we leave room for new classes based on student requests.
- Class activities vary weekly: prep for tests, explain complex topics, preview upcoming chapters, review (forgotten) fundamentals, and/or discuss what’s on the students’ minds.
- That last activity bothers a few parents, but it has been an important part of our formula for years. Students have fun at Lafayette Academy, and they don’t waste time chatting when there’s an upcoming test!

Still not ready to enroll?
Here are more features that make Shadow Classes a no-brainer:
- Shadow Classes® are taught by our best instructors, who may not be available for private tutoring.
- Our instructors collaborate (in person and via Slack).
- When necessary, our students get access to FREE Reviews for upcoming tests.
- Our instructors know their students, including their unique learning styles.
- Many students thrive in small groups because they benefit from other students’ questions and the class camaraderie.
Shadow Classes are appropriate for A, B, or C students, who do well in a small group learning environment. Students with lower grades should schedule private tutoring or online private tutoring.
Shadow Classes are $216/month ($54/week per class), but the fee is only $44/week if you pre-pay for the rest of the semester.
