Our Proven Process

For over 30 years, our One-on-One tutoring has helped students improve grades and build confidence with personalized support in homework, study skills, course content, time management, class projects, and test prep.

1. Initial Practice Test

A strong tutoring program starts with a clear understanding of where the student stands.

Test Prep Students: Begin with an official proctored practice test.
Academic Tutoring Students: Start with a skill assessment to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

These insights allow us to tailor the program to your student’s unique needs.

2. Individualized Tutoring Plan

With a structured yet flexible approach, students receive the support they need to excel. Most programs include 12 to 16 weekly sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, with adaptable scheduling and no required minimum or maximum sessions.

3. Tutor Matching
