About Us
Look, we've been doing this for a while now. Kids struggle with reading. It happens. What matters is what you do about it. At Success Prep, we don't pretend there's some magic method. We show up, we listen to what's actually going wrong, and we fix it. One student at a time. Our tutors know reading inside and out — not because they memorized some fancy certification, but because they've worked with hundreds of kids who needed help. You'll find us on Strada Dorobanți in Cluj-Napoca, and we take every single session seriously. That's it. That's what we do.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.

The people behind Success Prep
We’re a team that values ownership, clarity, and growth. We celebrate wins, learn fast, and keep client outcomes at the center.
Anca Popescu
Lead Tutor & Founder
Started Success Prep after seeing too many smart kids trapped by reading struggles. Worked in schools for 8 years before going solo. She's got patience that doesn't quit and a real gift for figuring out exactly what each kid needs.
Mihai Vasilescu
Senior Tutor
Came to Success Prep 9 years ago. Works mostly with older students who'd written themselves off as 'bad readers.' Proves them wrong every single time. Calm demeanor, strong methods, gets results nobody expected.
Elena Diaconu
Junior Tutor
Recent education graduate who genuinely loves working with younger kids. Still sharp on latest literacy research but knows how to actually talk to six-year-olds. Energy that's contagious without being exhausting.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Show Up
Consistency beats intensity every time. You'll get the same tutor, same time, same genuine effort. We don't cancel. We don't flake. Kids need to know they can count on you.
Listen First
Before we teach, we figure out what's actually happening. Is it phonics? Fluency? Comprehension? Different problems need different fixes. We take time to get it right.
No Shame Here
Reading struggles aren't about being dumb. Never were. Kids who come to us are brave. We treat them that way. Safe space, real progress, actual encouragement.
Methods That Work
We don't chase trends. We use what research backs up and what our students prove works. Plain and simple. Results over theory.

Our Story
Started 13 years ago when one of us watched a bright kid shut down completely around reading. Frustration was eating him alive. So we got involved — really involved. Found what worked for him. Then another kid came. Then another. Years later, we've helped 47 students move from struggling to thriving. We're not some franchise operation that showed up yesterday. We're neighbors who actually give a damn. Built this thing slowly, the right way, by proving results matter more than marketing.
Our Mission & Our Vision
Our Mission
Help kids become confident readers who actually enjoy books. We meet students where they're, use methods that work, and never make them feel bad about struggling. Reading should feel possible — not impossible. We're here to prove it's.
Our Vision
A generation of strong readers who tackle tough texts without fear. We want every kid who walks through our door to leave thinking, 'I can do this.' That shift? It changes everything. School gets easier. Life gets easier.
