Our Tutoring Process
We develop a customized education program to achieve your student's goals!
How it Works
-
Step One
Free Phone Consultation
Here’s your chance to talk to a learning specialist. Tell our Tutor Manager, Jake, about your child’s history and challenges, along with your vision and goals. He is happy to answer any questions you may have!
-
Step Two
Tutor Match
After your call, Jake consults internally with the team to choose the best tutor to complement your child's age, personality, learning issues, and academic goals. You will be introduced to the selected tutor in an email sharing the tutor’s background, qualifications, and contact information. Continue with questions or schedule your first session.
-
Step Three
Student Assessment
Sit down with your tutor to review your student's academic levels with any outside evaluations, teacher input and work samples. Your tutor homes in on the student’s current needs and sets measurable goals. This step can also include supplemental evaluation by your tutor.
-
Step Four
Tutoring
Your specialist tutor uses evidence-based methods and attunes to your student to formulate completely individualized instruction. Track your child's progress with the data collected along the way.
-
Step Five
Adjustment and fine-tuning
One of our Learning Behavior Specialists checks-in with both you and the tutor to evaluate how the program is going. We work as a team to modify the program as needed. This can include a consultation with a content area expert from our team of over 170 tutors.
-
Step Six
Growth
Your child achieves their academic goals. Watch as they experience new confidence, develop better school attitudes, and build resilience.
-
Step Seven
Reporting
At your request, we write a report which includes our assessment, tutoring history, instructional practices, and student progress notes. This can be helpful to coordinate services for your student and can be particularly useful if your student is completing the school IEP process which often requires Response to Intervention type data.
They measure what they are doing, write detailed assessments of the student’s progress, and work with the teachers at the school."
