Welcome, Gideon Parents!
Start with Success
After your student’s diagnostic evaluation from our math and reading center, we’ll determine a comfortable starting place for your child in our curriculum. This initial starting point is meant to not only provide review but also to build confidence and success from the beginning. With a solid foundation, your student is ready for all challenges.
Beyond Grade Level
The primary goal of our reading and math centers, online or in-person, is to enable children to succeed in academics beyond grade level by filling in any holes and gaps in their foundation. Your child will learn new concepts at his own pace without any pressure of grades. With a strong commitment, your student is assured of achievement.
No Limits
Our mission is to provide an affordable, individualized, self-paced, and most of all effective approach to learning that enables children to build confidence through mastery. We know what parents are looking for in tutors. With our over 30 years of experience in education, we have witnessed that through daily, disciplined effort with the Gideon curriculum, there are no limits in a child’s capacity to learn.
How can we help our child achieve the MAXIMUM results?
Do come to class once or twice a week. We need to monitor your child’s progression at our in-person or online math and reading centers, answer any questions, make sure all corrections are understood, and provide encouragement to you and your family. We are your support system.
Do the Gideon homework each day. Make Gideon a priority before scheduling TV time or other activities. Gideon is very much like piano practice. Your child’s progress depends on this daily routine. Taking days off on a regular basis will hamper advancement. The recommended number of pages is clearly marked on the cover for each booklet. Be consistent!
Be involved with the work by listening to oral reading lists or math facts warm-ups. If your student is studying math, practice oral facts from the math drill booklet’s front inside cover and grade your student’s math drill work each day using the given answer key found in the middle of the booklet. Have him correct any of those mistakes and be sure the right answer is achieved before moving on. Young reading students will need your attention while they are learning letter names and sounds or sounding out words. Whether your student is receiving tutoring in-person or at our online reading and math center, you do not need to home grade any other booklets beyond the math drill. All others (reading, grammar, and math word problems) will be graded and corrected at the center. Parents looking for tutors need to know it is generally your child’s responsibility to complete this work independent of parent involvement in order to build a strong foundation.
Be patient with new concepts and/or repetitions of booklets. Repetition, if necessary, is so important to prepare for more advanced learning as well as standardized testing. While mastering a skill, sometimes extra practice is needed. Does anyone become proficient at scoring soccer goals during the first practice? Likely not! Addition facts should be treated the same way. Mastering a skill with confidence is different than simply understanding how to do it. Some students may want to stop the program when the work becomes more challenging. This is the most important time to encourage and persevere. It is better to learn and master new topics at Gideon and always stay a step ahead.
Communicate to your child that YOU always are in charge. Be ready to encourage your student on those days he may resist completing his work. Never allow your child to be disrespectful to you. Those bad habits will become difficult to break. Remember that Gideon is an investment for his future!
Communicate any concerns with your instructor. To all the parents looking for tutors, we are excited to work with your student! Feel free at any time to call or email questions about your child’s progress.
FAQs
Here are some answers to the most commonly asked questions about the Gideon Math and Reading program.
How long will it be before we see progress?
The key to speedy progress is doing the work EVERY day. Taking one day off here and there will not make much difference, but taking three days off will slow the momentum. While you will see some progress in 1-2 months with daily work, vast changes will be apparent after 6-12 months.
My child knows how to do this. Why are were starting here?
Why are we repeating this booklet?
What is a typical Gideon center experience for my child?
All learners will have a specific appointment time and will sit at a table with a student to teacher ratio of 3:1 on average. Young learners are given extra attention for their oral reading and focusing needs. Remember that all students are doing work specific to their starting point and performance unlike school where everyone in a grade does the same thing at the same time. MATH: Students will do an oral facts warm-up (unless still in Beginning Math) upon arrival. Then they will complete four new pages either in the math drill booklet or its test that will be timed, graded, and corrected. Afterwards, one page of math word problems will be completed. All pages in this booklet will be graded once the booklet is finished. New concepts will be explained, and once all corrections are completed, students will be sent home with enough work for daily homework until the next class. READING: Students will do four new pages in their reading booklet, and later Young Learner students will orally read a storybook if they are in Word Builders while Independent Learners may be doing grammar. All pages in the reading and grammar booklets will be graded once the booklet is completed. New concepts will be explained, and once all corrections are completed, students will be sent home with enough work for daily homework until the next class.
Why do I need to home grade my child’s math work?
What is the best way to do Gideon work at home?
Setting aside the same time each day will help create the ‘Gideon habit’ and avoid arguments about when to do it. Remove any distractions such as TV, pets, siblings, or friends. Many children do best in the morning when they are fresh, but it may be less stressful to do it later in the day during the school year. Decide on a routine that works best for your family and stick with it each day!
How should I handle resistance?
I only want to challenge my child. Why can’t she work in algebra?
Most importantly, believe in your child. He will amaze you with what he can accomplish. The possibilities are endless when you build confidence through mastery learning.

Kind words from our Gideon families
Is it work? Yes. Does it work? Yes! Does it take time? Yes! Is it worth it? Quadruple YES!
Now, both of our kids attend Gideon for math & reading, and feel 100% more confident in their school work, and test scores have improved tremendously! They aren’t afraid to take tests anymore. Its really been amazing.
Jigna cares deeply about the success of each child that goes to the center, and you can see it if you stick around during her sessions. She is hands-on making sure the kids are happy and progressing and keeping parents informed. If you are searching for extra help, increasing confidence or fluency, you will be very happy by choosing Gideon!
I can’t say enough good things about Gideon’s after-school program for reading, writing, and math. From the moment we joined, I knew we had made the right decision. Ms. Tez, the owner and operator, and her wonderful team truly care about every child’s success. They are incredibly patient, kind, and dedicated to helping kids excel at their own pace. My kids absolutely love going, and the results speak for themselves!
When we first started, my child was struggling in certain areas, but within less than a year, the improvement has been nothing short of remarkable. I’ve even uploaded photos of my child’s report cards to show how much progress has been made in such a short time. Their reading, writing, and math skills have improved drastically, and it’s not just about the grades – their confidence, enthusiasm for learning, and overall attitude towards school have been transformed.
What makes Gideon stand out is the personalized attention each child receives. Ms. Tez and her team truly go above and beyond to ensure every child feels supported and encouraged. It’s clear they are passionate about what they do, and it makes all the difference.
If you’re looking for an after-school program that delivers real results and genuinely cares about your child’s growth, Gideon is the one. Seeing the progress my kids have made has been such a rewarding experience, and I can’t recommend this program enough. Take a look at the photos I’ve shared – this program really works!
Gideon has not only helped our son academically but has also restored his confidence and love for learning. The transformation we’ve seen is nothing short of life-changing for our family.
If you’re looking for a tutor who truly cares and delivers results, we wholeheartedly recommend Gideon. We will forever be grateful for the impact it has had on our son’s life!
Since enrolling, my son’s school performance has improved remarkably. He consistently scores higher and genuinely looks forward to his sessions with the tutors.
I highly recommend this center to anyone seeking academic support for their child!
Since our son has started at Gideon we have seen incredible growth in his reading and math skills, as well as added confidence in himself. The owner and staff at this location are very knowledgeable and truly care about the students that come there.
I highly recommend Gideon, especially this location, to anyone that wants their child to advance their math and reading skills.
So, I recommend this center for kids who need help with their school assignments.
My children enjoy the small, manageable lessons, which help build independent learning habits. The instructors are always patient and encouraging, making the environment feel supportive rather than stressful. It’s very clear they care about each student’s growth.
I am thrilled with the progress so far and highly recommend Gideon to any parent looking for an effective program that fosters both academic skills and a love for learning!
Divya the owner is very understanding and very helpful.
We usually see Sabreen who manages the day to day operations and knows how each child is doing. Sabreen is literally the sweetest person ever, I have seen her be so caring and understanding with so many little kids who come there and sometimes don’t want to work. She has a way to work with all kids. Thank you Sabreen and Divya. Luckily my girls never complained and always wanted to go work with their favorite tutors. I definitely recommend this place if your child needs help beyond what they do at school.
The owner is really friendly and welcomes every kid with a big smile.
We came to this Gideon location looking for tools to allow my 6th grade daughter to improve her math and reading comprehension skills and to feel more comfortable with her performance at school, and their help has made the transition into 7th grade a lot better.
I believe that, beyond grades, a student should feel competent and confident in their abilities to undertake increasingly complex tasks, and in that sense, Gideon has exceeded our expectations.
I highly recommend Gideon West Richardson to anyone seeking top notch academic resources for their children.
I highly recommend Gideon West Richardson to anyone seeking top notch academic resources for their children; I did my research prior to coming here,, and this is the best option in the North Dallas area in terms of proven methods, results, and value for your money.
I really improvement and staff here is very welcoming and joyful. Kids love it here.
He has more confidence in himself and loves coming here. We decided to bring him 4 days a week for both reading and math for the summer. Gideon assigns daily homework and he loves doing it the more practice he has the better he becomes. This place is amazing and we are so happy we are here. I can't wait to see him use what he has learned this coming school year.
Thank you Lisa!
Would really love it if they opened another center in Frisco but until then we will be making the trip to Prosper 🙂
I enrolled my daughter and n 2021 at the Gideon Math and Reading Center located at 4940 W University Dr #20 in Prosper, TX, and I am beyond pleased with the progress she has made in her math and reading skills.
From the onset, Ms. Neha and her dedicated team have created a warm, engaging, and highly effective learning environment that has significantly contributed to my daughter's academic growth.
Ms. Neha's approach is genuinely commendable; she combines patience, expertise, and a personal touch that makes learning enjoyable and accessible. Her team is equally impressive, demonstrating a deep commitment to each child's success, consistently going above and beyond to ensure that the Gideon syllabus and learning material is understood and can be applied confidently by the student.
What stands out the most is the personalized attention my daughter receives. It's evident that Ms. Neha and her team take the time to understand each student's unique needs and learning styles, adapting their methods accordingly. This tailored approach has made a noticeable difference in my daughter's confidence and enthusiasm towards math and reading.
Moreover, the progress reports provided by the center are detailed and informative, offering a clear picture of my daughter's development and areas where she is excelling or needs more focus. It's reassuring to see tangible evidence of her advancement and to know that she is in capable hands.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Gideon Math and Reading Center in Prosper, TX, to any parent seeking to enhance their child's abilities in math and reading. Ms. Neha and her team's expertise, dedication, and nurturing environment have made a significant positive impact on my daughter's academic journey. I am grateful for their support and look forward to seeing my daughter continue to thrive under their guidance.
frustrated easily. She has since made tremendous progress and is now able to read children’s books from start to finish with little to no assistance. She enjoys going to Gideon, now has more confidence, and enjoys reading. She is extremely proud of the progress she has made. We are very grateful to her tutor, Ms. Katie. She has been extremely patient and kind! I would highly recommend Gideon Richardson for any child needing additional assistance with phonics and reading.
Would definitely recommend.
Mrs. Sonal exhibits a genuine interest and unwavering commitment to nurturing her students to their fullest potential. Supported by a team of welcoming, kind, and patient teachers, my daughter benefits from their attention and encouragement.
The center's flexibility and accommodation with scheduling further adds to its appeal. Notably, Mrs. Sonal goes above and beyond by offering extra classes during holidays at no additional charge, providing invaluable assistance to students in need of further support.
I wholeheartedly recommend Gideon Math and Reading – Carrollton to any parent seeking an outstanding Math and Reading learning center. Mrs. Sonal and her team's dedication, personalized approach, and generosity in going the extra mile makes this Center stand out as a truly excellent educational resource.
If you choose them you won't be disappointed.
I highly recommend Gideon Math and Reading to all parents seeking a program that enhances academic performance. Gideon Math and Reading has been a game-changer for my child's education. The program emphasis on building confidence through academic mastery which aligns perfectly with my desire for a solid educational foundation. Also , the convenience of spending just 15 minutes a day with Gideon has made it incredibly manageable in our busy lives.
100% recommended!
My son has improved TREMENDOUSLY and it’s all due to the leadership and tutoring here at Gideon Prosper.
Easy to work with her as a parent as she is very flexible with scheduling, proactive for kids’ makeup classes for any missed class.
The math books, oral facts and some the of the tricks to solve the problems are very unique and real life problems are good concepts for kids. Mrs. Divya provides many tips as well!
My son has been with her since last 3 years and has achieved excellent scores in Math and Reading under her guidance. Mrs. Divya provides feedback on kids progress, help when extra effort is required for my son’s development. She personally put extra effort for my son.
My daughter started 8 months ago and she had difficulties with Math and Reading and now she is advanced high in her elementary school.
The staff has been very cooperative, encouraging and loving. Last but not least, they organize fun activities during thanksgiving and Christmas holidays!!
Highly recommend this place for kids education growth !!!

Thanks 🙏🏻
For people like me that do their research Gideon is the real deal
Will definitely recommend.
My daughter is in the dual language program and was struggling with differentiating letter sounds between English and Spanish so I enrolled her in Reading with Gideon. Within a month I noticed a difference. We’re very happy with this program!
Ms.Neha and the Staff have been super supportive in helping my son. The small group and individual session have help tremendously ! My son’s geometry grade has improved along with his other core classes. He actually looks forward to going to Gideon to stay ahead of his classmates. The college SAT prep was helpful during the summer, giving him tools to use in all his classes.
I appreciate the flexible times and accommodation offered at Prosper Gideon. High school students have busy schedules, but the Gideon Team is alway accommodating to make time for the students. I am also Thankful for communication given to the parents. Weekly, I am given a status update or areas of concern.
By far Prosper Gideon has been a great investment for my son’s education.
In an attempt to keep it short, last year our twin 5 year old boys went through several changes their Kindergarten year and had to switch Elementary schools and Kindergarten teachers 3 times after we sold our home in Frisco, waiting for our new home in Windsong Ranch to be built.
We were completely blessed with one of our boys Kindergarten teacher once we move into our forever home - she was absolutely amazing and truly cared for our son’s well-being and advancement. It was obvious and infectious to both our son and to us as parents.
Unfortunately, we had several issues with our other son’s Kinder teacher including lack of empathy, communication skills, compassion, etc. which caused a huge shift in his passion to learn, grow and thrive. This absolutely broke our hearts.
Fast forward to the same week school ended, my husband and I knew something needed to change and we needed to find a place where both of our boys could continue learning throughout the summer and our sweet son would find his passion to learn, grow and thrive again. We made an appointment at Gideon after one of our friends highly recommended this center and location. We will never forget this day- it was the same evening of the last day of school. We were walking in and our son who had a really poor experience with his last teacher during his Kinder year broke down in tears in the parking lot refusing to go inside for fear his former Kinder teacher would be there telling him what all he did wrong. It was definitely a struggle to get him inside as this was new behavior for him and extremely hard for us to experience. Somehow, we finally managed to get him to go inside and boy did it change our lives forever!
Now… insert NEHA!!! I literally cannot even put it into words what she did in just 30 minutes with our son. We were lucky enough to witness this first hand and immediately signed up without hesitation.
Neha showed our boys (especially the one who needed it the very most) patience, kindness, compassion, praise, understanding, love and dedication. She was so sweet with him- she knows exactly what she’s doing. She immediately knew what he was missing and zeroed in on it right away.
He literally walked out of there a new little boy excited to start this program and we couldn’t be more grateful for Neha that day and every day since then. She is ALWAYS available and in fact she will go out of her way outside work hours to communicate with you on your child’s progress. She is absolutely AMAZING!
Our twin boys have attended Gideon Learning Academy twice per week for 3 months now and continue growing, learning and thriving. They never complain - in fact they look forward to their Gideon lessons every single time! We have seen a huge improvement and would like this continue into their First Grade year at the very minimum. Their new 1st grade teacher’s are very impressed as well and we have already received comments just two weeks into school.
If it wasn’t for Neha that day (and every day then) and the amazing team and tutors she has built at Gideon in Prosper, our boys wouldn’t be where they are today.
We are forever grateful and very blessed and couldn’t recommend Gideon enough under Neha’s leadership.
- Only wish this location was larger because it is packed and we know it is because of Neha’s love and dedication for all of the children along with ALL of the amazing staff that truly care about our kiddos and pour their hearts and souls into their jobs.
Thank you Gideon of Prosper! We love you!
The Pollock Family
He thoroughly enjoys attending Gideon and I cannot recommend this place enough! Neha and all the teachers are doing an excellent job! Keep it up Neha and team.
Highly recommend them at any time.
The pandemic and home schooling was tough on my son. He wasn't learning math very well and his confidence and his overall self esteem suffered. Taking him to Gideon was a game changer! When he went back to school this year, he didn't score well on his MAPP test (October 2021). However, the test showed that since he started Gideon in April 2021, he had already improved a whole school year's worth of skill. Now he is on level for his grade and on the way to finishing this year above level in his Math scores. His confidence has soared and he believes in himself again. Nothing is worse than watching your child suffer, but watching them succeed is beyond rewarding! Ms. Tez and all of the staff at Gideon are amazing with the kids. We are so happy for the change we see in him and proud of all the work he put in. Thank you so much for helping our boy!
Great place to work, the management was excellent Very understanding and flexible with working hours. Highly recommend working here.
She focuses on the learning, confidence and character building of the child while she teaches the child. Totally recommend this location for fast progress in Math and Reading as well.
Gideon has a very efficient and productive curriculum. Mrs. Wendy and her staff are super friendly and helpful.
I will forever be grateful to Gideon because they revolutionary my son's education and self esteem!!! He was misdiagnosed but my son's hard work through Gideon help him proved the school wrong.
Please, do not hesitate to enroll your kiddos here!!! It is the best investment for your kids future!!!!
