Strive to Learn

College counseling, tutoring, & test prep designed to empower our future leaders We believe that everyone should always continue to Strive to Learn.

Whether you are in kindergarden and just learning the alphabet, struggling with reading and spelling in elementary school, taking challenging AP classes in high school, wanting additional support in college, or simply craving to learn something new to enrich your personal and professional life, Strive to Learn is the tutoring service for you! We offer the most individualized tutoring services you

will find in Orange County. Strive to Learn was created by Josefine Borrmann, who first became a tutor as a way to put herself through college. What started as a necessity soon turned into a passion. Today, Josefine herself tutors over 15 subjects and incorporates the knowledge she has gained in her professional studies to create a conducive learning environment. Josefine’s employees go through extensive training led and designed by her so that they, too, have the expertise to assist you or your child to always Strive to Learn.

Before you get frustrated by lackluster grades or tell yourself that you'll "never get math," remind yourself that learning can be challenging and, sometimes, what works for your friends, teachers, and even your parents, may be different than what works for you.

Take a deep breath. Treat yourself with care. Figure out what makes sense for you to grow through your challenges.

🤳*ring ring* Are you answering the call to fully embrace the last few weeks of summer break? 🤔☀️

We know that the start of a new school year is fast approaching, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick up a hobby or go on an adventure before then! 🥳

Take a page out of our tutor Jose’s book: over the break, he’s been busy attending conferences, perfecting his Rubik’s Cube skills (‼️), and vinyl wrapping his car. 📚🚗

He also went on a sweet date to the Lego Store with his girlfriend — they even have tiny Lego versions of themselves to prove it! 🥰

However you decide to spend the rest of your break, we hope that you find or learn something new in the process! Who knows: maybe that last-minute hobby or excursion will be the topic of your college admission essays. 😉📝🎓

✨What’s been your favorite part of summer break this year? Comment below!✨

🎢Get ready for Thrill Ride Thursday!!!🎢

Over the summer break, most of our tutors have been finding ways to rest and rejuvenate before prep for the new school year begins.

And then there’s Josh.

He’s been on an East Coast coaster chase, and it’s been a scream of a time. 😱

Here he’s pictured (in order): at Carowinds located at the border of North and South Carolina; King’s Dominion in Virginia; and Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia as well. 🗺

🎡COASTER FUN FACTS:

• The tallest rollercoaster in the world is Kingda Ka, located in New Jersey’s Six Flags Great Adventure. The coaster is 456’ tall and reaches a whopping 128mph. 😅

• The first ever wheeled rollercoaster was established in France, 1817! Compared to the speed of Kingda Ka, this coaster only had a top speed of 40mph. 😮‍💨

• The first tubular steel coaster was built in 1959 in Strive’s backyard: Anaheim, CA! The coaster in question is our very own Matterhorn bobsleds, guarded by one (1) yeti named Harold. 👣❄️🏔

What’s your favorite rollercoaster or theme park attraction?! Let us know in the comments! ✍️

Hope everyone is enjoying the last few weeks of summer break. ☀️

Here’s a little to Josefine’s time at the IECA Conference in Philadelphia this year. ✈️ This is your super casual reminder that learning IS fun — with the right people and tools on your side, of course. 😉 Speaking of which, summer is a GREAT time to book a tutoring or college counseling session with one of our own bright and smiling Strive faces!
