JEI Learning Center in North America

JEI Learning Center or JEI Education is a company that runs tutoring centers for students aged four through fourteen, covering such subjects as reading and mathematics. There are typically five or fewer students per session, though the students do not necessarily learn the same lesson. Some learning centres offer 1 to 1 classes with the teacher coming to the student's home. The curriculum offered by JEI Self-Learning Method leans heavily on workbooks. It is designed to help pre-kindergarten to 9th grade students learn math and language concepts step-by-step, aligned with Common Core State Standards. JEI Learning Center provides a diagnostic test and track record system that pinpoints fundamental strengths and weaknesses in subject comprehension.[1]

The company has over 500 locations worldwide.[4]
