Total Learning Concepts Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary Serving Students in the Gwinnett Community
Where Students Learn How to Study “Smarter” and Grow to Reach Their Real Potential!
Founded in 1986 by Carol Chandler-Wood, a former high school teacher and corporate trainer, Total Learning Concepts began its work tutoring students in pursuit of their academic and career goals. At Total Learning Concepts, we understand that families want academic support grounded in clarity, structure, and genuine expertise. You want to know exactly how your student is doing, where improvement is needed, and how to help them build lasting confidence. That’s why we’re proud to be a full-time professional educational service committed to each student’s success.
Our approach begins with a full understanding of each student’s learning profile, including their current skills, study habits, and long-term goals. This insight allows us to create a customized plan that supports steady progress and keeps students engaged rather than overwhelmed.
