Our History

Since 2008, Edmond Learning Academy has been an efficacious forerunner in educational assistance for students as well as a support for parents in Edmond, Oklahoma. Julie Evans and her team of distinguished and qualified professionals have paved the way and brought much-needed support in all subjects to many families. Julie, a graduate of the University of Central Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Special Education, draws from her dedication to the fruitfulness and success of her students with fervor, encouragement, and a belief that all students have the incredible capacity to learn. Because of this consistent belief, many students and parents have been able to redirect, refocus, and reignite their confidence in their ability to learn and succeed as well as restore peace in the family relationships. Without question, any student of any age or grade level that attends ELA will unequivocally receive incredible support, guidance, tutoring, and encouragement while they navigate the required studies needed for high school graduation and/or college.

Our Culture

Just because education is serious doesn’t mean it has to be boring.

The Edmond Learning Academy team is a group of diverse individuals with a single goal: to catapult students to success. They’re driven by our core values to be tenacious, fun, engaging, honoring, lifelong learners.

Our teachers are a fun, focused group of people with a variety of personalities and outlooks, each one well-suited for a spectrum of children and situations. While we have an organizing principle and standardized curricula for our various areas, we encourage our teachers to engage with students and use their individual professional talents.

The center is colorful and the atmosphere upbeat which promotes a more relaxed environment. Struggles with school can cause anxiety about academics and we want to alleviate that with engaging staff and a positive environment.

Our Mission

Our mission is to ignite hope in our students and their families through academic excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our first step is an assessment. Afterwards, we sit down with the parent/guardian(s) and child together and use the assessment results to create an individualized plan for success. Struggles in school are a family problem, and we encourage family-centered solutions!
We know how busy your weeknights can get during the school year so we have recently opened Saturday morning tutoring sessions during our school year tutoring with YOU in mind!!
We are open for business during the summer, and welcome the chance to help students prepare for a strong start to their upcoming school year. Summer preparation can be a great benefit to a struggling student, both academically and confidence-wise.
The assessment can take one to two hours. Parents/guardians can stay while the testing is taking place, or drop the student off and come back.
Edmond Learning Academy is open Monday – Thursday. We follow the same schedule as Edmond Public Schools. If inclement weather or other factors cause closure for EPS, we will generally be closed as well.
Many people believe that completely individualized instruction, as you get with a private tutor, represents the ideal for helping a struggling student. The advantage to using Edmond Learning Academy is that you get the small student-to-teacher ratio, but also access to evaluation tools, specialized curricula, and the value of a team of talented teachers as support.
