Frequently Asked Questions
What Do YOU offer? (How can YOU help MY child?)
We help students gain confidence and to achieve excellence by teaching them how to understand their classwork and homework. This helps students prepare for classroom and state exams. Your child will receive one-to-one personalized direct attention from our patient, professional tutors.
What is the process for my child's success? (how does this work?)
First, we will give your child a comprehensive diagnostic exam to reveal the areas of weakness that need immediate attention. we will share this information with you and also with your child's teachers--with your permission.
After discussing the diagnostic report with you, we will work with you to create a tutorial assistance package that is effective for your child and affordable to your family. Once we agree on a tutorial package, your child will begin his or her individualized plan for success.

When and how often will my child be attending tutoring?
Depending on the individual plan and package, students normally attend at least two days per week. Students receive an intensive hour of tutoring twice per week.
What are your hours of operation?
We are open Tuesday to Friday from 2:00 to 7:00 and Saturdays from 10-2. Students come at a scheduled time during those hours. Since each child's plan is personalized, the tutorial session begins when the student arrives. If a child misses a session, and we are notified ahead of time, that student gets to make up the session at a later time.
*Other session times are available upon request.

how long will this take? and how will I know if tutoring is actually working?
Tutoring takes time. New material and habits have to be taught. You should begin seeing improvement in grades and test scores within the first 6 weeks.
However, your child will tell you immediately if he or she is learning and gaining confidence. Students normally tell their parents within the first week how much more they are learning.

What type of success have you had with students?
Our students often dramatically improve their test scores and grades within the first semester of tutoring. Several of our recent students have gotten into top colleges. Other students have been accepted into top middle and high schools. But our best proof comes from testimonials by parents just like yourself.
Here are some testimonials from parents:
"My Daughter was struggling with math and my son needed SAT Prep. The progress they made was very evident in the first few months. My daughter’s Math grades went from 70’s to high 90’s. She is now very confident with her math skills. My son’s vocabulary and writing ability soared. I really appreciated the personalized treatment they received. He has taken the SAT and did an extraordinary job. My daughter continues to excel in her Math and will be starting her SAT Prep."
Sincerely,
Ms. White
