At Small Radish Tutoring, our name is more than just a brand – it tells a story. It is a tale of language, cultural exchange, and the transformative power of education. The name originates from our founder’s Chinese nickname, intertwining her personal journey with the values we champion.
Roberta, our founder, was affectionately called “Luobota” (罗伯塔) in Chinese, a familiar adaptation of her name. The story deepens with “Luobo” (萝卜), which means “radish” in Chinese—a humble vegetable rich in cultural symbolism. Radishes represent growth, humility, and the small yet meaningful steps taken on the path of learning. Adding “小” (xiǎo), meaning “small,” created “小萝卜” (Xiǎo Luóbo)—”Small Radish.”
This name reflects our philosophy: learning, like a radish sprouting from the soil, starts small but holds boundless potential. Beyond personal significance, the name embodies the founder’s belief in the power of education, language learning, and cultural exchange to open doors to new perspectives.
At Small Radish Tutoring, we strive to nurture growth—whether through language acquisition or academic success. Just as a radish flourishes with care, we believe every learner can thrive in the right environment. We are not an agency but a group of dedicated tutors who decided to collaborate to offer a 360-degree solution to any student, all in one place. By working together, we ensure that learners have access to comprehensive and tailored support for their educational journey.
Our name is a reminder that the most meaningful journeys begin with small steps. With each step in learning, students move closer to personal growth and success. Small Radish Tutoring is here to guide you along that path.
