What Families Are Saying

“My tutor was absolutely amazing with my daughter! She was so patient with her! My daughter is always excited about her next session.”

Chelsea

1st Grade Reading Student
“Our tutor seems to have been able to quickly build a good rapport with Cameron. I was worried that Cameron might be resistant to tutoring on the weekend, but those concerns were unnecessary. In fact, Cameron's face lights up when he hears that he will have tutoring this weekend. I think he looks forward to the sessions!”

Our Focus

The Learn To Be Difference

Our tutoring support is not time limited; we provide tutoring for as long as it takes for students to meet their goals.

Sessions are 1-on-1, not in groups. Studies show that tutoring works best when it is provided in a private session.

Sessions are always live, not pre-recorded, and take place in an online classroom with real-time interactions.

Our students work with the same tutor each week. We believe that consistent, positive relationships have the power to change lives!

The typical tutor/student connection lasts approximately six months and usually meet once or twice per week.
