Axiom Learning: For when Wellesley schools just aren’t enough

Axiom Learning, a tutoring and test prep outfit, has set up shop at 254 Washington St., the former home to a Papa Gino’s Pronto, an oxygen therapy business and a women’s clothing shop in recent years. Axiom has existing locations in California, Cambridge, Mass., and Malaysia, and was formed by a couple with a background in finance and healthcare.

Here’s how Axiom touts its staff: “Axiom Learning is only as good as its teachers — which is why we are so selective in hiring: Fewer than 1 in 200 applicants to Axiom Learning are hired. All of our instructors hail from top universities, have great personalities, are phenomenal teachers and, most importantly, [are] completely dedicated to ensuring their students succeed!”

Axiom joins other tutoring/test prep businesses in town, such as College Nannies+Tutors and Sexton Test Prep & Tutoring.
