The Think Tank Education, LLC, acquires What's Your Sine, LLC
The Think Tank, a premier tutoring and test prep company in the Northwest suburbs, focused on teaching students how to think and igniting their intellectual fire, today announced its acquisition of What's Your Sine, LLC. The acquisition will advance the educational mission and expand the geographic reach of The Think Tank.
Located in Arlington Heights, The Think Tank has served students from more than 40 schools in Chicago and its Northwest suburbs, since its founding in 2016 by Matthew Miklius, PhD. The company offers one-on-one tutoring and small-group classes in dozens of academic disciplines, including ACT/SAT test prep, math, writing, physics, biology, chemistry, computer science, reading comprehension, and more.
According to Dr. Miklius, The Think Tank has steadily grown thanks to its team of motivated, passionate instructors who have proven capable of fostering the growth and building the confidence of thousands of students.
Now, with the acquisition of What's Your Sine, LLC, The Think Tank looks to increase its geographic reach and further expand its academic tutoring presence in the Northwest suburbs.
"We're so excited about this acquisition for multiple reasons," said Dr. Miklius, "Primarily, What's Your Sine, LLC, has developed a reputation for instilling confidence in its students and helping students overcome barriers and learn to face academic challenges - all of which aligns with our core vision."
The move comes as The Think Tank prepares to move to an open-concept, 3,000-square-foot tutoring studio in Arlington Heights to accommodate more students and to offer more tutoring and test-prep programs.
According to Dr. Miklius, "The focus of an education must be the personal growth of the student, first and foremost. After all, the trigonometry a student learns may not show up again in 'the real world,' but the confidence of being able to master a challenging skill will shape the mind and mentality of that student forever. That growth mindset is exactly what we strive to instill at The Think Tank."
For his part, What's Your Sine, LLC, founder Steve Hamburg agrees: "Nearly every student that What's Your Sine, LLC, tutored suffered primarily from low self-confidence and not a deficiency in the aptitude to achieve mastery in mathematics. The most difficult aspect of our business was not having sufficient capacity to tutor every student who approached us with math tutoring needs. I am thrilled The Think Tank will have a much larger capacity to help many more students overcome challenges they are experiencing not only in mathematics, but also in many other subjects, and that it will provide unparalleled tutoring services to continue What's Your Sine, LLC's tradition."
Dr. Miklius and staff will be reaching out to current What's Your Sine, LLC, families to begin the transition to The Think Tank.
