About us

While she watched traditional tutoring centers struggle against high costs, busy schedules, and the shift to online learning, her own students were flourishing.

Ms. Carrie developed Awesome Possums based on her experience teaching English for over 10 years in Irvine and SF. 

The Method?

A highly personal approach centered entirely on "following the fun!" that she developed while performing improv comedy for over a decade in NYC. In order to bring this joyful learning philosophy to more students, she teamed up with Magnet Academy to host her unique educational programs in their wonderful space.

Our son used to throw a fit when we’d make him do his homework, but now he’ll knock out 3-4 pages in a sitting. Ms. Carrie’s playful approach is like magic! 

​- Sue He

Whenever I go to pick up my daughter, I hear them laughing so hard in the classroom. At first, I thought it was because they were goofing off, but then I saw my daughter's grades, they definitely weren't!

-Yuki Li

When we moved here, our son knew almost no English; now he's writing every day, and he just submitted to a writing contest at Oxford University!
