Yesterday, Hodis Learning & Music (HLM) donated $1,500 to the South Pasadena Educational Foundation (SPEF) to kick off the 2026/27 school year.
“I’m from South Pasadena and I attended South Pasadena public schools. Even when I was a student I knew about SPEF and the work they did. When I started HLM, I wanted to give back to my community and I knew the best way to do that would be to donate to SPEF.” explains Founder and President Drew M. Hodis.
Since its founding in 2021, Hodis Learning & Music donates 10% of net profits directly to SPEF. That includes academic tutoring, test preparation tutoring, music lessons, and art lessons.
“I really believe that HLM works together with the public education system in South Pasadena. We invest in the schools our students attend, and we’re also there to provide them help and guidance in their academic journey.” explains Hodis. “Then they’re prepared for their classes, their exams, and eventually, the next school year.”
Hodis Learning & Music provides academic tutoring for almost all K-12 subjects, as well as music and art instruction. All educators at HLM have years of experience teaching students and many have served as teachers or tutors before.
