FAQ
At what age can my student start attending?
- We work with students aged four and up who are able to focus for 10-15 minutes.
How many times a week will my student come to the center and for how long is each visit?
- Most students attend twice a week for center visits and complete Gideon assignments at home the other days. However, you can come once a week or request extra classes for an additional fee.
- Each center visit is typically 20 - 30 minutes per subject to do individual daily assignments, complete any old corrections, and review new material. A Gideon instructor will be at the table with the students to assist as needed. We maintain a 2:1 student to teacher ratio for Young Learners (aged 4-8) or 4:1 ratio for Independent Learners (aged 9 and up).
What level of work will my student be doing?
- During the free placement evaluation, we will find a 'just right' point in the Gideon curriculum based on what skills your student shows as mastered in order to fill any holes and gaps in his foundation. Read more about the importance of mastering lower levels HERE. Download a full curriculum listing HERE.

Does Gideon work with students with learning differences such as dyslexia?
- Yes, the Gideon program works well for most students, including those with learning differences.

If your student has dyslexia, read THIS to find out why Gideon is a good solution.

About
Owner and Director, Fiona Yee, was raised by parents who put a huge emphasis on receiving the best education. It was deeply ingrained in her being at a young age to aim for the highest. Every one of her six siblings is either an entrepreneur or a professional. To her, the sky is the limit. She pursued and received a doctor’s degree in pharmacy in 1994 and has been a supervisor in the workforce for 20 years. Fiona has a deep love of children and has been teaching them every week in her church for over 20 years.
Fiona’s own children started the Gideon program when they each were five years old. It is truly an incredibly beneficial and structured self-paced program. Both her children are excelling at a gifted and talented public school which is rated among the top 5% percent of their school district. Her son, Isaac, has now become a national merit finalist and presidential scholar semifinalist. He will attend Yale in fall 2021. She has seen how the potentials of the learning capacity of her own children are being brought to the fullest by Gideon. She believes in the Gideon curriculum and philosophy so much that she decided to open a center to help many more children receive these benefits.
We started in fall 22 and we’ve seen a huge improvement in our kids’ reading and writing! Absolutely worth it!

My daughter comes to Gideon since 3 months ago. I asked her does Gideon teach her something about school works? She said No. But I can see her improvement in her school grades. She also can finish her Gideon homework by herself not my pushing.So I want to say thanks for Gideon’s help at this moment. I appreciate all you do for my kid.

We had great experience sending my daughter here. My daughter's math and reading levels improved a lot in just few weeks after she started going here.The staff there is friendly and knowledgeable. The owner is very accommodating when it comes to make up classes. They also maintained the ratio of number of students/teacher.I would highly recommend them .

This location is well run: professional, prompt response to parent inquiries, and most importantly - the tutors balance nudging the children along to success while keeping the tone positive and encouraging!I had concerns that my children were behind in math because of the disruption in their education during COVID. I did not want the summer slump to further degrade their math skills. I discussed my concerns with Ms. Fiona (the owner and director) and we discussed what Gideon could do to help my children. In just a month, they have improved their mastery of math facts (addition, subtraction, multiplication - the ABCs of Math) and learned how to better tackle word problems. My children are less anxious when it comes to math homework and school assessments and my son's teacher at school told him that he has greatly improved on his multiplication. I look forward to my children getting a head start on the next grade curriculum this summer. Ms. Fiona sent her own children to Gideon when they were young and saw what tremendous success they had with the Gideon program. After just one month, I too am seeing the positive difference that Gideon makes!

My daughter has been here for 6 weeks and she has improved so much on Math and Reading. Her confidence level has increased. Now she is eager to learn new things and be challenged. I am very happy with the teachers. She always talks about how nice they are! I recommend this center to all the parents.

My daughter started here at this Gideon 8 weeks ago. This is the best place ever! She has really gained confidence in herself. And her teacher gave me a great feedback and told me today that she noticed the marked improvement and her willingness to learn. As a parent, I definitely this tutoring center to others. Fiona and her teachers work very hard to help my child make the progress. I really appreciate it! Very happy!

We enrolled our daughter shortly after school started this year. We recently received her second-9-week progress report and she has had a marked improvement in her math. I believe her concentration and confidence, particularly in her math ability, has greatly increased due to Gideon. I feel Fiona and her staff are top notch and would highly recommend this facility!

I am really happy that my son has joined this Gideon. He has improved so much and his confidence has increased. We moved here two years. Thank you, Ms Fiona, for helping us. I suggest not to ask for discount. When you see your child growing in confidence and succeeding, that makes the value of your money all worth it. I highly recommend this to my friends!

I am really with Fiona and her awesome teachers. Gideon in east Plano is run very smoothly and it’s environment is very conducive to a child’s learning. My son has been for 8 weeks. He was previously in Kumon for 6 months and got very frustrating with the lack of attention or interaction with the tutors there. His progress at Gideon has been dramatically improved. It is such a joy to see his confidence level raised up in such a short time. He looks forward to his classes at Gideon and loves his teachers here. At school, his teacher has noticed his progress and his new found confidence.I highly recommend the place and am spreading the word to my friends and family.

So thankful we made the decision to put our daughter in 1x1 tutoring over the summer at Gideon. She had been a solid B student last year, but, lost her confidence. Fiona and her teachers were great to work with and really helped her develop independence and improved her skills. She started high school confident and has already been achieving all A’s on her math tests. This has been one the best decisions we made for our daughter and we will continue with the tutoring.

My son joined Gideon (Plano location) almost 3 yrs back in 1st grade after trying Kumon for a year & half. Both educational institutions have their speciality in teaching methods but we found course material & teachers @ Gideon made all the difference in motivating our child in learning in much friendlier env. Needless to say Ms Fiona & Mr Andy (in charge & owner) and her staff have put their sincere effort in helping our child to build strong foundation and confidence in both subjects & to be ahead of the game. During enrollment, she took special care in evaluating child’s level & ability to put the child into right starting line. Periodically conducts parent’s meet to discuss child’s progress (also when requested). Received honest feedback in areas of improvement based on child’s strength & weakness. Thanks to Ms Fiona for sharing valuable tips, advice & experiences in general. Wishing Ms Fiona & Mr Andy very best in keeping up the same level of excellent education service for years to come.

My daughter has been enrolled here for several months now, twice a week. Her growth in math, reading, and writing have improved dramatically. Her daily school teachers have commented on her advancement during her last review. Her confidence in taking on new challenges or speaking in class has improved to the point she wants to be the one with the answer each time. We interviewed many of the local centers that provide similar services to Gideon such as Kumon, Reading Ranch, Explorer Horizons, and Grade Power. While the other companies varied in their approach and were acceptable on many levels, we chose this place because of the staff, the progressive can do attitude and structure provided. My daughter looks forward to going here every time, so I know we have made the right choice and her grades reflect that.

The manager (fiona) and staff are very acomodating and very friendly. My daughter started a month ago and she has improve a lot in math and reading. I would highly recomend gideon to parents who have kids that are difficult to teach and slow to catch up. Now my daughter is very much interested in learning. The teachers are so good in motivating their students. Not only they will learn from basics but kids will enjoy learning.
