STAFF
ACE has an outstanding and engaging team of dedicated instructors, all of whom are determined to help students succeed. Our team members offer support and guidance, uniquely tailored to each student. Our goal is to provide an environment where teachers are valued for their outside-the-box thinking, creative ideas, and connection with their students.
ACE understands the importance of having a teacher who is motivating, inspiring, and creative in helping students see the scholar within them, and also to develop and maintain a passion for learning. Thus, all ACE teachers have undergone a thorough evaluation of their skills and knowledge in their fields, have successful middle/high school teaching experience, exhibit excellent communication skills, understand their subject matter, and are able to make it accessible to all students at all levels of expertise.
ACE is dedicated to a faculty that accurately reflects the diversity of the Tri-valley area and instructors who embrace the mission of the learning center: educating the compassionate, capable, confident, and creative young students of tomorrow.
