Our Philosophy & Other Important Considerations

Many of you know us well and probably don’t need to read the list below. Still, we want to make sure that everyone fully understands our commitment to your children. Simply stated, we will do whatever it takes to help your son or daughter (or both) thrive in school.

The Best Tutoring Center Near Me … Period

  • Our tutors won’t just “tutor.” If necessary, they will coach or mentor your children to identify any issues that might impact learning. #gameplans
  • Our relaxed, fun approach is not just designed to attract students. It’s conducive to learning because a relaxed learner gets and retains concepts more easily than one who is stressed out. What happens to your memory when you’re stressed?
  • Our tutors are the “adults” in the relationship. More than ever, your children need extra guidance to ensure that they remain focused on their work. More than ever, you need help from us because of the demands that have been placed upon you. For example, we won’t placate children who simply want us to help them with their homework. Our job is to explain the material so well that students can complete their own homework in a timely fashion.
  • Our tutors include young college graduates, current and retired teachers, local college students who did well in high school, and a variety of people with interesting backgrounds and great rapport with our students.
  • We can always find the right match for your child.
  • During the academic year, we tutor most subjects, 6 days a week (Saturday – Thursday), and we offer same-day tutoring.
