FAQ

Can I have the tutoring at my convenience?
Yes. In order to provide the best tutor for your child, we ask you to give us a wide range of days and times you are available. Tutoring is available seven days a week at times that are convenient for you.

Can our session be held outside the home?
Yes. In some cases we tutor at the local library, at a local coffee shop, or even our clients office. However, we recommend that the sessions occur in your home when possible. We do require that a parent or guardian over the age of 21 be present in the home for the entire tutoring session.

How does the tutoring process work?
Our professional tutors determine the student's strengths and weaknesses. The tutors then address the weaknesses, using a step-by-step approach until the problems are resolved. To address your child's academic weaknesses, the tutor uses your child's books, worksheets, notes, tests, and classroom information. Drawing on their tutoring skills and experience, tutors are constantly assessing and restructuring the lessons to ensure that your student's tutoring sessions are consistently successful.

My child isn't motivated. Can tutoring help?
It certainly can. Sometimes a student gets into a downward spiral. He's behind and feels discouraged, so he stops trying. This causes him to get further behind and more discouraged. Our tutoring reverses this spiral. By working with a tutor, the student will discover that, with a little effort and encouragement, he can increase his learning. In turn, this new self-confidence will motivate him to work harder and achieve more.

My child is doing well in school. Can you help her?
Yes, we can. The tutor can teach "beyond the A," making sure the student has mastery of the subject.

Can I have a different tutor if my child and the tutor don't "connect" well?
Absolutely! The professional relationship between the tutor and student is vital for the student's success. If at any time you feel that the tutor is not the best match for your child, please let us know so we may provide you with a more appropriate tutor.

I homeschool my child. Can you still help?
Yes. We can provide a tutor to help your student in specific areas depending on your choice of curriculum for them. In most cases, we can even assist you in choosing the curriculum itself.

How do I get started?
Call or e-mail to let us know when we might visit with you. We will discuss your student's needs during our free in-home consultation. At that consultation, we ask that you supply us with all relevant schoolwork, homework, report cards, and testing results (if available.) The more information we have available, the more detailed plan of action we can make together. We will then find the best tutor for your child. Once a match is made between student and tutor, let the tutoring begin!
