General Questions

QWhat grades and subjects do you cover?

We provide homework help and tutoring for students in grades 6-12 (middle school and high school) in Math, Science, and English. This includes all levels from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus, General Science to AP Physics/Chemistry/Biology, and basic English to AP Literature.

QAre your tutors qualified?

Yes! All our tutors are U.S.-based, certified educators with teaching credentials or advanced degrees in their subject areas. They undergo a rigorous vetting process including background checks, subject assessments, and teaching demonstrations. We maintain a 4.8+ average rating among our tutoring staff.

QWhat's the difference between homework help and tutoring?

Homework help is on-demand, pay-per-task assistance for specific assignments. Tutoring is ongoing, scheduled 1-on-1 sessions with the same tutor each week, designed for long-term improvement and grade boosting. Many families start with homework help and upgrade to tutoring when they see the value.

QHow do online sessions work?

Sessions are conducted via Zoom video call with screen sharing and an interactive whiteboard. You just need a computer, tablet, or phone with a camera and internet connection. We provide a virtual learning environment that mimics in-person tutoring.

QIs this considered cheating?

No. Our homework help provides step-by-step explanations designed to teach concepts, not just provide answers. We follow academic integrity guidelines and our goal is to help students understand material so they can succeed on their own. Tutoring sessions are focused on teaching and skill-building.

Tutoring

QHow do I get started with tutoring?

Book a free 20-minute consultation through our website. We'll discuss your child's needs, goals, and learning style, then match them with an ideal tutor. After a trial session to ensure good fit, regular weekly sessions begin.

QWill my child have the same tutor each week?

Yes! Consistency is key to academic improvement. Your child will work with the same dedicated tutor every session, building a relationship and allowing the tutor to deeply understand their learning style and needs.

QWhat if my child doesn't click with their tutor?

No problem! We offer free tutor rematching. Just let us know within the first few sessions and we'll find a better fit—no questions asked and no extra charge.

QHow often should my child have tutoring sessions?

It depends on goals and needs. We offer packages of 4 sessions/month (1x/week) for maintenance, 8 sessions/month (2x/week) for improvement (most popular), and 12 sessions/month (3x/week) for intensive prep or significant struggles.

QCan I sit in on my child's sessions?

Absolutely! Parents are welcome to observe any session. We also provide regular progress reports and are always available to discuss your child's progress separately.

QWhat happens if we need to miss a session?

Sessions can be rescheduled up to 24 hours in advance at no charge. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) will count toward your monthly sessions. We understand life happens and work with you to be flexible.
