The Think Tank moves to larger facility
The Think Tank, the Arlington Heights-based tutoring and test prep company founded in 2016, has announced it will be moving to a stunning new 3,000 sq. ft. facility at 510 W. Northwest Hwy. The move is expected to be complete by Aug. 29.
Just a quarter mile from the firm's current location at 15 East Miner Street, the new facility will include flexible classroom space, soundproofed testing rooms, a homework lounge, and one-on-one tutoring space for the 13 tutors on the Think Tank staff.
"We're very excited about what this location will mean for our staff and students," said founder Matt Miklius, PhD. "The modern, bright, inviting setting is designed to keep tutoring fun and minimize stress - that's how students learn best."
The new space serves as an improvement over the divided space currently in use, according to Miklius: "Both the students and the tutors thrive in an open-concept space. The students get to know each other and recognize that getting tutoring isn't something to be embarrassed about. Likewise, the tutors benefit from seeing each other in action, asking each other questions, and creating a dynamic environment that make the whole experience more enjoyable for everyone."
Miklius and staff have built a process to break down learning barriers, using skill development to build confidence, especially for students who struggle in particular subject areas or in test taking.
"The new space will accentuate our ability to help students learn. We pride ourselves on stoking the fire of intellectual curiosity and making learning fun, whether in test prep or academic tutoring, and this move is going to enhance our ability to do that for even more students," said Miklius.
Miklius also noted that the company has added two new math and science tutors, both with an MS in Mathematics.
"Our success is directly related to the exceptional talent we have on the staff at The Think Tank. Whether they are teaching a small group, or conducting one-on-one sessions, our reputation has grown because of the quality and dedication of our team."
