Why Tutoring?
With children wanting to meet a higher standard of excellence in education, more and more parents are utilizing tutoring to supplement their child's public, private, or homeschooled education. While tutoring is becoming more and more popular, the fact is, tutoring is one of the oldest teaching methods dating back to Socrates and his renowned tutelage of Plato and other great minds. Whether your child is struggling to stay at grade level or wants to pursue advanced studies, they can benefit from this time-proven practice.

Where? In the Comfort of Your Home
Our philosophy is simple and backed by research by the U.S. Department of Education. Students tutored in the convenience of their own home by reputable and experienced tutors using the student's school curriculum are positioning themselves for better success in and out of school! Convenience aside, the home offers the best environment for them to enrich their learning. We believe, especially for struggling students, that removing distractions is key to creating a conducive learning environment. These distracters include physical distractions (noises, movement, etc.) as well as emotional and social distractions such as being swayed by feelings of competitiveness, shyness, inferiority, or other emotions which can prevent them from learning.

How? Professional and Dedicated Tutors
Our tutors are dedicated, experienced and diverse. They are certified teachers, retired teachers, substitute teachers, education majors, learning specialists, or professionals with previous one-on-one tutoring experience. We carefully screen our tutors and run a thorough state and federal background check on each one before they work for you. Our tutors work with their clients’ students on academic achievements as well as attitudes toward learning that promote self-esteem and confidence at every turn.

Use Your Child’s School’s Curriculum
A second key component of our philosophy at Rising Scholars is that we use your child's school curriculum. We believe it is vital to utilize your child's own school curriculum through methods that ensure the student's mastery of school-assigned objectives and standards. By doing so, it represents the quickest and most direct route to academic success. When the stress and anxiety of school sets in, it is best that we appropriately focus on what matters most to your student: understanding and completing tonight's homework, preparing for Thursday's test, or even next week's science fair! Building upon small successes slowly opens doors which lead us to opportunities to achieve even great academic success.
