Can't Find the Right Afterschool Program for Your Middle Schooler?
I understand the struggle—I had a hard time finding an afterschool program that truly fit my creative and curious son. He needed a space where learning could be both engaging and fun.
As an art and gifted education teacher, I’m passionate about helping children think creatively and bring their ideas to life. That’s why I started a small, personalized afterschool program, accepting only four students. I ensure they complete their homework and enjoy customized, hands-on activities that spark their imagination.

Takako Oishi
As a Japanese art educator with over 20 years of experience teaching art to all ages, I bring a wealth of expertise to my afterschool program. Based in Tustin, Orange County, California, my work as an artist and art teacher spans North America, Europe, and East Asia. I hold an MFA from Hunter College (CUNY) in NYC, one of the top MFA programs on the East Coast. My teaching and lecturing experience includes prestigious institutions such as the Laguna Art Museum, UCLA, CSUN, Pitzer College, and Tokyo University of the Arts.
In addition to my art career, I serve as the CEO of the Japan and US Association of Gifted Education, where I focus on fostering creativity and intellectual growth in young minds. Fluent in both English and Japanese, I am dedicated to providing a rich, multicultural learning experience for all my students.
