Services & Rates

  • Private tutors can tailor their teaching methods to your individual learning style and needs. This personalized attention is often challenging to achieve in a group setting, such as with free college tutors.

  • Private tutors typically offer more flexibility in terms of scheduling. You can arrange sessions at times that best suit your schedule, which may not be as feasible with free tutoring services that have fixed hours.

  • Customized Curriculum: Private tutors can create a curriculum specifically designed to address your weaknesses and enhance your strengths. This level of customization may not be possible with free tutoring services that follow a more general approach.

  • Private tutors can spend more time addressing your specific questions and providing in-depth explanations. This can lead to a deeper understanding of the subject matter compared to the time constraints often present in free tutoring sessions.

  • A private tutor can offer consistent and ongoing support throughout the semester or academic year. This continuity allows for the development of a strong student-tutor relationship, which might be more challenging to achieve with different tutors in a college's free tutoring system.

  • With dedicated one-on-one attention, you may progress more quickly in your studies. Private tutors can identify and address gaps in your knowledge promptly, helping you stay on track with your coursework.

  • Expertise in Specific Subjects: Private tutors often specialize in specific subjects or topics. If you're struggling with a particular area, a tutor with expertise in that subject can provide targeted assistance that may be more difficult to find through free, general tutoring services.

  • Private tutoring sessions provide a private and confidential learning environment. Some students may feel more comfortable discussing their academic challenges in a one-on-one setting rather than in a group setting with free college tutors.

  • For many, we’ve perhaps saved the most important reason for last: Private tutoring is an investment in your long-term academic success. The focused attention and support from a private tutor can contribute to improved grades, a deeper understanding of the material, and enhanced overall academic performance.

  • One-on-one tutoring is a personalized educational approach where a single student works directly with a tutor.

    In this setup, the tutor tailors their teaching style, pace, and content to the individual needs, learning style, and abilities of the student. It provides focused attention and customized instruction, allowing for a deeper understanding of the subject matter and more effective learning outcomes.

    The tutor can adapt the teaching methods, explanations, and examples to match the student's unique learning style, preferences, and pace.

    Overall, one-on-one tutoring offers a highly personalized and supportive learning experience that can be beneficial for students seeking to improve their academic performance, gain deeper subject understanding, or prepare for specific exams or challenges.

  • Group tutoring involves one tutor working with a small group of students simultaneously.

    Unlike one-on-one tutoring where the focus is solely on an individual student, group tutoring involves multiple students receiving instruction and assistance together.

    Group tutoring typically involves a tutor working with a small group of students, often ranging from 2 to 5 individuals, although group sizes can vary depending on the tutor's preferences and the specific learning environment.

    Overall, group tutoring offers a collaborative and interactive learning experience that can be beneficial for students who enjoy working in small groups, value peer interaction, and benefit from hearing multiple perspectives on the material. It can also be an effective way to reinforce concepts, build confidence, and improve academic performance.

  • Asynchronous tutoring refers to a form of tutoring where communication between the tutor and the student does not occur simultaneously.

    Instead, interactions take place intermittently, with a time delay between messages or responses. This approach allows for flexibility in scheduling and accommodates learners who may not be available for real-time sessions.

    Communication through Messages: The primary mode of communication in asynchronous tutoring is usually through written messages exchanged via email, messaging platforms, discussion boards, or specialized tutoring platforms. Students can send their questions, assignments, or concerns to the tutor at any time, and the tutor responds when available.

    Overall, asynchronous tutoring offers a flexible and accessible means of academic support, allowing students to receive personalized assistance and feedback at their own convenience. While it may lack the immediacy of real-time interactions, it provides valuable opportunities for collaboration, learning, and skill development in a non-simultaneous manner.

  • Test prep tutoring refers to a specialized form of tutoring aimed at helping students prepare for standardized writing , English, or writing-related subject matter.

    Test prep tutoring is designed to familiarize students with the format, content, and strategies needed to perform well on these exams.

    Test prep tutors familiarize students with the structure and format of the specific standardized test they are preparing for. They review the different sections of the test, the types of questions asked, and the time constraints for each section.

    Test prep tutoring is designed to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to perform well on standardized tests and achieve their academic and career goals. It provides targeted instruction, practice, and support to help students maximize their scores and unlock opportunities for higher education and career advancement.
