TUTORING OPTIONS

Individual Sessions

Each weekly individual tutoring session runs for one hour and meets at the workshop. Let us know your child’s grade level, needs and interests, and we will pair him/her with the teacher who will provide the best support. 

Small Group Sessions

Often, students need support in similar areas and can benefit from small group work and collaboration to advance their skills. Students in a group tutoring session must be in the same grade and at similar levels in their studies in order for the work together to be productive. Parents may propose a group of 2–4 students, and/or we can help coordinate with other students before matching the best tutor to facilitate the weekly hour-long session.

Online Sessions

Location is no longer a barrier. No matter where you live, we can find the perfect tutor for your child. Once you’ve found that tutor, you can stick with them, wherever you are and wherever they are.
