In today’s fast-paced world, students may need to seek additional, out of the classroom support to meet the demands of a rigorous curriculum. “Tutoring: Strategies for Successful Learning” by Jennifer Fager lists the following benefits of personal tutoring:

  • Increases mastery of academic skills
  • Improves social skills, self esteem, and confidence
  • Improves students attitudes toward school
  • One-on-one Instruction tailored to specific learning styles and needs
  • Instruction free of competition – students can progress at their own pace
  • Increased praise, feedback and encouragement
  • Companionship with a positive adult role model

  • There is no minimum or maximum number of tutoring sessions.
  • Our rate is $60/hour. Group tutoring sessions are available upon request at a reduced rate.
  • A one-time initial processing fee of $25 is required for all new students.
  • Tutoring can be done in the student’s home or another convenient location; however, if tutoring takes place in the home, a parent must be present at all times.
