Question 1

What if my child HATES math?

Accepted Answer

You're in luck! We specialize in turning math reluctance into enthusiasm. Our tutors patiently help students build confidence and teach them how to learn, most often leading to a positive shift in attitude.

Question 2

How do we decide how much tutoring is needed and which tutor to work with?

Accepted Answer

First we want to match your child with a tutor whose personality and skills best fit their needs. Availability and budget considerations are also key factors. We offer a range of tutors with different skills and price points.

Ultimately we’ll work together to determine the best package based on your child's availability, the urgency of progress, and your budget.

Question 3

Do you offer group sessions?

Accepted Answer

We primarily focus on one-on-one instruction but are open to group classes if a suitable group is presented to us. Students must be at the same level and able to be instructed together.

Question 4

What if my child has ADHD, Dyslexia, or Dyscalculia?

Accepted Answer

ADHD: Many of our students have ADHD, and we've developed effective techniques to keep them focused. The RightStart Curriculum, with its multi-sensory activities and engaging, game-based lessons, is particularly well-suited for students with ADHD.

Dyslexia: RightStart was designed with dyslexic learners in mind. Math, like reading, is a language that can be challenging for dyslexic students. Our approach includes purposeful, explicit, and multi-sensory instruction, ensuring mastery before moving on.

Dyscalculia: Dyscalculia, a math-specific learning difference, is another area where our tutors excel. We use specialized strategies to help your child make significant progress, even if they’ve struggled with math in the past.

Question 5

Do you tutor Algebra and other subjects?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have tutors skilled in secondary and college-level math, though our focus is primarily on elementary age students. Several of our tutors are also experienced classroom teachers who can help with other subjects, including reading. We also have tutors trained in the Barton Reading and Spelling System.

Just let us know what you're looking for and we'll create a custom plan to meet your needs.

What if we start and my child isn't connecting with their tutor?
