About Dynamic Learning Opportunities
Our History
In 1987 Jane Kratzig, President and Founder of Dynamic Learning Opportunities, Inc. began tutoring students one-on-one in her home in language arts skills and writing. Her business grew by word-of-mouth, and soon she was tutoring the verbal parts of the ACT and SAT Tests. Students needed to learn the math parts also, so she hired and trained a math tutor. Soon she had to recruit and train more math tutors and an English tutor. With the growing popularity of her excellent group of tutors, Jane branched out and hired tutors in all subjects. By 1989 her business was a viable tutoring business, and in 1996 she incorporated the business into Dynamic Learning Opportunities, Inc.
In 2000, Jane first began offering SAT Prep Courses, which she has updated as the SAT Test has changed. Today, her SAT Prep Courses are well-known in the Corpus Christi area not only for their comprehensive material, but also for their well trained instructors and the substantial score improvements of students who take the Course.
Through the years, Jane has offered and continues to offer a variety of Professional Writing Workshops for diverse groups. These Workshops are always tailored to the specific writing needs of the professional group.

Some have studied abroad and are multi-lingual, having learned such languages as Japanese and Russian; others have even taught English as a Second Language in other countries. Many of our tutors have been leaders in community work. Some have volunteered or worked for hospitals, veterinarian clinics, the Columbus Fleet, or the Women’s Shelter.

Our Commitment to Homeschoolers
