Education Opens up the Mind

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

— John Dewey

Welcome to Schmoopie

What is Schmoopie?

Schmoopie is more than just an afterschool program! It’s a nurturing, engaging space where children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We blend learning with fun, structure with creativity, and support with encouragement.

At Schmoopie, every child is treated with warmth, care, and respect — like part of the family. Whether it’s through homework help, enrichment activities, or hands-on learning, we make afterschool hours meaningful and memorable.

Our Core Beliefs:

  • Learning should be joyful.
  • Every child deserves a safe, welcoming space.
  • Support at the right time builds confidence for life.

Who are we?

We are a team of passionate, experienced tutors driven by a shared mission: to bring out the absolute best in every child, teen, and young adult we work with. Our dedication to education goes beyond academics! It’s rooted in a deep belief that success comes from being surrounded by the right environment. Our team of passionate educators and mentors is here to support every child as a whole person – academically, socially, and emotionally. Whether it’s through homework help, enrichment activities, or play-based learning, we make every moment count.

At Schmoopie, we create a professional, encouraging, and inspiring space where students feel safe to grow, challenged to improve, and supported every step of the way. We know that when learners are uplifted by strong mentorship and positive energy, they can achieve more than they ever imagined.

About the Founder

DIRECTED BY A CERTIFIED ACADEMIC LEADER
Led by founder Scarlett Abi-Mansour, SCHMOOPIE is proudly run by a certified academic leader with over a decade of experience in education, tutoring, and student development. With a strong foundation in psychology and a passion for nurturing young minds, Scarlett ensures that every student receives the highest standard of care, support, and academic guidance.

Fifteen years ago, Scarlett’s passion led her to pursue a career as a dedicated private tutor, starting her journey while still a university student. What began as a part-time passion quickly grew into a lifelong mission — to bring out the very best in every student she meets.

Her approach goes far beyond academics. Her deep commitment lies not only in helping students succeed in school, but also in nurturing their personalities, emotional intelligence, and self-confidence. She believes that education is most effective when paired with genuine care, thoughtful guidance, and respect for each student’s individuality.

With a strong foundation in psychology and years of hands-on experience, Scarlett has developed a top-tier, student-centered approach that responds to both the academic and personal needs of children, teenagers, and young adults. She finds true joy in teaching, consistently learning from her students, and seeing them thrive in and out of the classroom.

A Thoughtfully Designed Afterschool Program

Our center is open to welcome students daily from 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM, providing a supportive environment where children can enjoy a nutritious lunch, rest, and complete their academic work.

Should additional reinforcement sessions be necessary, we will promptly communicate and coordinate with parents to ensure every student receives personalized support.

Our program also includes carefully integrated activities that promote mental agility, public speaking skills, and teamwork, fostering well-rounded development.

For your convenience, lunch and transportation services are available upon request.

Public Speaking Courses

Public Speaking is an amazing course for any parent, child or teen who wants to see massive confidence built for presenting in front of a crowd. It will boost their self-esteem even in their daily conversations and social interactions. This course is amazing for youth who are considered to be shy and need the urge to be more relaxed in society. Kids and teens will be given the chance to develop huge confidence and learn a series of professional techniques.

One-on-One Private Session

Students can enroll in elective private sessions tailored to their individual needs. They have the flexibility to select the subject(s) they wish to strengthen, along with the days and times that best fit their schedule.

Our private tutoring service is available seven days a week, ensuring maximum convenience for families. Each session pairs the student with a specialized, experienced tutor who provides focused, personalized instruction designed to deliver an intensive and effective learning experience.

Autocad 2D & Photoshop 101

My 12 year old daughter has progressed a lot with the schedule and programs they use at this center. She used to have average grades at Arabic and Math. Her grades have shifted and so has her self confidence. The weekly discussions and the activities they do in the after school program have been great. They also have a very dedicated and caring team.
