Wildflower Academy was founded by Yasmeen Gavande, a Palo Alto native and math tutor who specializes in working with bright, creative, and deeply sensitive students. We understand your child because we were your child — growing up in Palo Alto, attending Hoover, JLS, and Paly, and navigating the unique blend of curiosity, pressure, imagination, and potential that defines this community.

At Wildflower Academy, we bring together strong academics, joyful learning, and real innovation. Our approach is grounded in empathy, creativity, and a belief that children thrive when they feel seen, supported, and inspired. We create an environment where students can explore their passions, develop real-world problem-solving skills, and grow into confident, capable thinkers.
