Rising Scholars is an educational support provider for parents and students in the North Texas area. We specialize in providing K-12th grade students personalized quality in-home tutors in areas such as math, science, English, reading, college and career prep, and other subjects. Our goal is not just to improve grades, but encourage a love of learning.

Rising Scholars provides opportunities for academic excellence. We make a careful match between student and tutor, taking into account the unique requirements of the student and the unique skills of the tutor to ensure success. Our professional tutors draw on their expertise and experience to tailor each tutoring session to fit the current needs of the student. Rising Scholars’ instructors work with both children and parents to accelerate academic progress.

Because every student is unique, we pride ourselves in matching him with the best tutor. We personalize each tutoring session with your child’s school curriculum as the basis for the in-home tutoring sessions. We will utilize that curriculum, your child’s textbooks, worksheets, and even contact the teacher, with your permission, if need be, to make sure that all bases are covered and every stakeholder is on the same page.
