About

Mentaur Learning has been locally owned and operated since it opened its doors in 2010. The original owner, Ginny Wirzbicki, felt Lincoln county could benefit from an affordable tutoring center.  Ginny had worked at the Davidson Center and decided to use that as a model for Mentaur.  Although the business has relocated twice, it still remains in Denver and is close enough to attract students from Lincolnton, Stanley, Pumpkin Center, Maiden, Catawba, Charlotte, and even Belmont.
