Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rising Star Learning?

Rising Star Learning is a home-based learning center located in the beautiful River Islands community at Lathrop, CA. We offer “Math Adventure” for students in Grades 3-8. We firmly believe that by engaging with math in a fun yet challenging way, children are better prepared for higher-level academics and future opportunities.

What to expect in class?

• Before each class, I’ll email a short worksheet for your child to complete at home (about 30 minutes).

• Please provide a quiet space and encourage them to show all their works and steps.

• In class, we’ll review solutions, explore new strategies, and collaborate with teammate.

• Each lesson also includes math tricks, puzzles, or fun facts - so don’t be surprised if your child comes home eager to challenge you or wants to play a math game with you (parents, we encourage you to join in).

Who can enroll?

Students in Grades 3–8 are welcome! We offer programs for those who need extra support to boost school performance, as well as for students eager to take on greater challenges and prepare for advanced math. Every program is designed to build skills, critical thinking, confidence, and a genuine love for learning.

What materials do you use?

How do I sign up my child for a free trial class?

Email us at info@risingstarlearning.com with “Free Trial Class” in the subject line, and include your child’s name and grade. I’ll reply with the appropriate worksheet and simple instructions. Please make sure your child completes the worksheet on their own showing all their works and steps - this helps us understand their current level so we can place them in a class where they’ll feel confident, challenged, and excited to learn.
