Small Group Tutors

Our Mission - Strengthening Middle School Students

We focus on small group learning for middle school students. An intimate, positive and supportive group allows each student to progress academically through peer mentorship and collaboration. Fostering true love of learning leads to a more enjoyable path to understanding concepts.

Accountability to do consistent work to understanding concepts and have that reflected on quizzes and other interim scores is healthier and less stressful than cramming and reviewing right before larger final exams.

We meet weekly for the period: Fall or Spring semester; Summer period. Additional meeting with tutor(s) as needed are encouraged. All wrapped within a flat fee.
