What We Offer

Online/In-Person Tutoring

Online tutoring takes place over the internet and involves the tutor/teacher giving instruction in real-time to the student. The requirement for online tutoring is that both the tutor and student have an internet connection with sufficient bandwidth, and a device that can receive or deliver the online lesson using the Zoom platform. This technology allows for tutoring sessions to take place in different time zones, across different states, in different spaces, different locations, and even different continents.

One on one (face to face) with a tutor who will meet with the student at a local library or coffee shop.  In-home tutoring will be offered on a case by case basis.

Homeschooling

More and more families are choosing homeschooling as their preferred way to educate their children. This option appeals to busy working parents, and parents with special needs children. Each family has individual goals and needs and may require a teacher or well-qualified tutor. In this role, we make sure the student is on task and keeping up with their virtual homeschool curriculum.

We ensure the student understands the subject and we provide individual instruction when necessary. The homeschooling solution by a teacher or well-qualified tutor, removes the burden from parents and improves the education of their student. Parents also have the option to occasionally utilize our services for certain subjects to round out the educational experience. It is important for younger students to have some in-person teaching interaction.
