Private, 1-1 tutoring. Some programs only offer pre-recorded videos of instructors, while others have set dates and times for students to participate in large, virtual classrooms, where instructors have to move at the pace of the slowest student in the group. We offer personalized 1-1 learning at your pace, at a time convenient for you.  

Books, not videos. While your student may like watching videos to learn, nothing is better than having a pencil and paper to work through questions – annotating paragraphs, highlighting important phrases, and solving math equations step by step. You learn best by doing, not by watching. 

Studies have continued to show that learning via book provides higher retention than learning by reading online or watching videos.  

• A study by The Integrated Learning Initiative showed that the median score of students who learned by reading was 10 percentage points higher (90% vs 80%) than the median score of those who watched a video of the same material. 

• The Learning Library concluded that students who learn by video are more easily distracted (usually via other open tabs on their web browser), while learning by reading a book enhances focus, concentration, and memory. 

• In an article on BigThink, psychologists show that high school and college students judged reading on paper, as opposed to online reading, better for concentration and remembering. People generally associate reading on a screen with a mindset of casual social media and therefore give less mental effort than when reading printed pages. 

More than 1,300 practice questions and solutions, including in-person 1-1 explanations for any answers that are initially unclear. 

A weekly schedule of assignments, including reading, practice problems, and homework from our 1-1 sessions. 

We offer three flexible learning programs (6-week, 7-week, and 8-week) and schedule our individual 1-1 tutoring sessions around your family’s busy schedule. Each program requires a weekly commitment between 6-8 hours, which includes a 1-1 personalized tutoring session, reading assignments, and hundreds of practice questions.

Competitors charge 2-3 times our rates while offering mostly pre-recorded videos (the least effective learning method), online texts (less effective than books), and impersonal large virtual group learning environments at a day and time that might not always fit into your schedule.

We provide 1-1 learning options so we can customize our sessions and pace to fit the needs of each individual student.
