Subjects

ELEMENTARY

We tutor all subjects in Elementary school including the Common Core Curriculum. Our tutors make the subject matter motivating, fun and interactive. Based on experience with thousands of families, the focus for tutoring sessions is on phonics, sight words, basic math skills, reading comprehension and retention, creative writing and penmanship.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

We tutor all subjects in Middle School including Honors classes, focusing on study skills, time management, organizational skills, and test taking strategies. Many middle school students become overwhelmed adapting to different teachers and changing class periods. Our tutors will mentor them in adjusting to change and different teaching styles.

HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE

Our focus in High School and College is on subject matter. Being able to think and apply concepts, not just plow through homework, is essential. At no time will a tutor complete homework for a student. We foster independence, discovery, and creativity in students. We give them the academic skills needed to tackle homework and prepare for exams. Becoming an independent learner is key.

SPECIAL EDUCATION

Many of our tutors are Credentialed Special Education teachers or are graduate students working on their Master’s Degree in Special Education and Child Development. We frequently work closely with students who are struggling and need to be taught a “different” way. We will work with your child’s IEP goals and assist in any way possible to alleviate the stress and struggles associated with learning.
