About Pinecone Active Learning
Pinecone Active Learning is a children's tutoring center in San Jose offering individualized writing, reading, math, grammar, and AI tutoring for children ages 3 through 8th grade. Our approach is ability-based, not grade-based, meaning we meet each student where they a...ctually are and not where a report card says they should be. A 1st grader may be starting fractions. A 5th grader may be reviewing times tables. Founder Vivian Hobbs personally reviews every student's work.
Programs include: Children's Writing Tutor, Grammar Tutor (approximately 140 sequenced booklets), Reading Tutor (pre-reading from age 3 through comprehension), Math Tutor (early numeracy through optional Advanced Algebra), Middle School Essay Prep, and Adventures in AI (a six-week workshop for 3rd and 4th graders).
Sessions run twice weekly with short daily practice at home.

Excellent vocabulary building program in Los Gatos
As parents, we always want our child to do their best without the pressure from external sources. Viviana, my five year old, although extremely active and bright, was finding it difficult to express and articulate herself. On learning about Los Gatos based Pinecone Acti...ve Learning Center from a friend, I decided to enroll her in their reading program for kids in San Jose. Not only do they teach you how to pronounce, read and spell words, but they also teach you the true meaning, which makes learning more permanent and fun. She has been attending their learning center in San Jose for the past six months and I must say I have never seen her more excited. She is confident and can express herself clearly. Thanks Pinecone. Here’s wishing you every success.
