Many of the larger tutoring companies employ inexperienced tutors who may have gotten high scores on a test, but who have little-to-no experience showing others how to achieve similar results. What you really want is a tutor who has been trained and who has the experience and insight to "diagnose" knowledge gaps from test-taking ones, who can assess learning styles and challenges, and who can teach all kinds of students.
This is who we are and what we do!We are expert diagnosticians, and we have deep experience with the way the adolescent brain works—the patterns and pitfalls. We know how to motivate, support, and instill confidence. (And we also have a good sense of humor!)
