We are determined to help your child to reach their own level of success.
Who We Are
The Burke Learning Center was created to provide every child and their family with the tools they need to succeed academically. Unlike other learning centers, we pride ourselves on offering affordable rates and flexible monthly payment options—without the need for financing.
We understand that raising a family can be expensive, and as parents, we all want the very best for our children’s education. That’s why The Burke Learning Center is owned and operated by parents who genuinely care about the success of your children, just as we do our own.
We’ve been in your shoes—spending long nights at the kitchen table, feeling frustrated when your child struggles to perform at their best. That’s why we’re here: to bridge the gap, ease the stress, and give your child the support they need to thrive.
At The Burke Learning Center, we’re more than a tutoring service. We’re a community of parents and educators working together to build brighter futures, one student at a time.
Let us help your family today. Together, we can make a difference.
Our Teacher Tutors will partner with your child’s teacher to ensure success, establishing a Parent, Teacher and Tutor network that is there to invest in your child’s education.
We are here to help you! We will meet with you and your child to design a system that will work for them. You will meet with your child’s Teacher Tutor along with a Center Director to map out a plan for your child educational journey.
I’m Kim Burke-Smith, proud owner of The Burke Learning Center and, more importantly, a mom just like you. I know what it feels like to want the best for your child while navigating the many challenges that come with education. That’s why I started this center in 2007—to bridge the gap between the classroom and home and provide the support every child needs to thrive.
At The Burke Learning Center, we don’t just teach; we transform. With over 15 years of experience, our proven programs have helped thousands of students—from Kindergarten to College—improve their grades, test scores, and confidence. I’ve seen the results firsthand with my own two children, who’ve benefited greatly from this program. If it works for my family, I know it can work for yours.
Here’s what makes us stand out:
-
Personalized Support for Every Student: We meet students where they are, tailoring our approach to fit their unique needs, grade level, and goals.
-
Proven Success Across Subjects: From math to reading, science to test prep, our certified teachers specialize in helping students succeed in all areas.
-
Convenient and Flexible Learning Options: Whether in-person or online via our BURKE Online platform, we offer solutions that fit your busy life.
-
A Parent-Focused Approach: As parents, we’re in this together. Our program is designed by parents, for parents, to ease the stress and make learning a positive experience for your child.
Choosing the right support for your child’s education is a big decision, and I’m here to make it an easy one. At The Burke Learning Center, we care about your child’s success as much as you do. Let us partner with you to build a brighter future for your family.

CEO/Founder - Burke Learning Center
"My son has attended the Burke Learning Center (BLC)after-school tutoring program for the last three years. My wife and I have no complaints! BLC has experienced Wake County Public School teachers who are very talented and competent tutors in their individual subjects. The staff is very nice and cared for our son in wonderful ways. In addition, he has gained a lot of knowledge about himself and strengthened in his own ability to do the necessary classwork and not just settle for finishing assigned homework but has been pushed to go farther with extra assignments. We are very happy with BLC and look forward to him attending for his first year of high school this coming fall!"
