Shadow Classes ®

Small Group Tutoring Sessions in Lafayette and Online

Shadow Classes® Overview

  • Shadow Classes® are weekly, small group tutoring sessions that shadow specific classes at local schools.
  • Our most 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 work to do!

Fall 2025 Shadow Class Schedules

Schedules will be finalized in early August. Feel free to contact us with requests.

Shadow Classes®

Here are more features that make Shadow Classes a no-brainer:

  1. Shadow Classes® are taught by our best instructors, who have limited availability for private tutoring.
  2. Our instructors collaborate (in person and via Slack).
  3. When necessary, Shadow Class students get access to FREE Reviews for upcoming tests.
  4. Our instructors really get to know their students, including their unique learning styles.
  5. 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 $240/month ($60/week per class), but the fee is only $49/week if you pre-pay for the semester.
