A One-on-One Experience with an Expert:

  • Often, teachers and professors don’t have time to help students individually, but we’ve built our business on the belief that there is no substitute for one-on-one learning
  • We don’t take shortcuts, because shortcuts don’t work. No “tips” or “tricks” will help you excel if you don’t truly understand the material from its core concepts up. We teach our students to master their subjects
  • Our tutors are current or former professors and teachers; every one has world-class content knowledge and teaching experience
  • Every tutor is hand-picked and carefully vetted; each has passed a careful background check and completed our in-house training
  • Every tutor is dedicated to providing an illuminating, demanding, and tailored experience for every student

A Transparent and Inclusive Education:

  • With us, learning is never opaque
  • We believe that learning happens best when everyone is involved, with students, parents, teachers, and tutors working as a team. We are happy to coordinate with your student’s teachers
  • In the initial consultation, we’ll ask about your concerns, your goals, and your observations. Our tutors will discuss with you the steps that we can take and the methods we can use. Together, we’ll come up with an individualized curriculum
  • At the end of every session, our tutors will email you a personalized tutoring report that details what happened in the session and why, work to be completed for next time, and any additional comments. You can also access these reports online at any time and we hope you’ll contact us with any thoughts
  • In conversation with you, we’ll adapt this curriculum as needed
  • You’ll always know exactly what’s happening, and you can be as involved as you like
