Every session follows your child's class
Tutoring on a different topic or at a different pace from school rarely helps grades. So each session works on what the teacher is covering now. How our tutoring works
- Re-teach this week's lessons until they make sense
- Finish homework correctly and turn it in on time
- Practice for upcoming quizzes and tests
- Work ahead on the next concepts when caught up

*The $200 / month option (one 1-hour session a week) is an add-on for students who already spend at least 90 minutes a week with us, for example in SAT prep or another subject. On its own, tutoring starts with one 90-minute session a week ($300 / month): the minimum we need for a student to learn the material, solve problems, finish homework and prepare for tests.
Questions parents ask
My child is taking Algebra 1 in middle school. Can they join?+
Yes. Algebra 1 is tutored at the same rate whatever the student's grade, and sessions follow the school's pace and tests.
Why does algebra matter so much?+
Factoring, functions and equation solving come back in Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus and on the SAT. Gaps here tend to grow later, so we fix them early.
