FAQ

We will come to your home or meet with you online for the tutorial sessions. If you prefer a different location, such as a library, coffee shop or school, we can accommodate that as well.

We offer expert online tutorials in all states and most countries.

Yes! We are experts in online tutoring, and we use a variety of tools, including our built-in online whiteboard and video chat, to provide students with the most seamless and robust online learning experience.

We can help with virtually every elementary, junior high, and high school subject. We also cover a wide range of college level subjects. Please see the Tutoring page for details.

We can help with the SAT, the ACT, most AP tests, and high school entrance exams (ISEE, HSPT, and SSAT). We also work with students preparing for GRE, LSAT and GMAT graduate school tests. Please see the Test Prep page for details.

Rates for tutors range from $150 per hour to $300 per hour, depending on tutor experience level.

All of our tutors are highly knowledgeable and experienced educators who have the right skills and personality to motivate and engage students. We require all tutors to have at least 5 years of teaching or tutoring experience in their subjects of expertise, but most have quite a bit more.

For more about our tutors, please see the Our Team page of our website.

Of course, the tutor we recommend must be an experienced educator in the subject or subjects in which the student needs help, and he or she must have the flexibility to work around the student’s schedule.

Beyond that, we also consider which tutor will best “click” with the student based on the student’s learning style, interests and motivations. Although it doesn’t often happen, if our tutor and the student aren’t a good match, we will recommend a different tutor immediately.

We tutor students from across the country and across the globe, but most of our students go to the best private and public schools in and around Los Angeles.

We feel that one-on-one tutoring is a more effective and more efficient approach to SAT tutoring because it allows us to focus only on the techniques that will help the individual student maximize his or her test scores. No time is wasted on questions and issues that the student has already mastered. We do occasionally offer SAT and ACT Boot Camps for clients with similar needs on a case by case basis.

No. We don’t make you sign any kind of long term contract. While we strongly recommend regular weekly session as a best practice, you may stop tutoring at any time. We do have a 24 hour cancellation policy for scheduled sessions. 

Yes, we book a minimum of 1 hour sessions. However, if you  have regular weekly sessions booked, students can reach out to their tutors for a “Booster Shot” tutorial any time in increments of 15 minutes.
