There are a few important differences. First, all our programs are designed solely for one-on-one instruction, as opposed to traditional learning centers which are comprised of group lessons. Next, we follow the student's curriculum from school. Our instructors will work with current classroom assignments and prepare for upcoming tests, therefore what they learn during each session will be directly applied to their class work. Further and most importantly, traditional learning centers do not use the same instructor session to session. Clearly a child can not develop a strong rapport with an instructor, if that instructor is being switched from session to session. The instructor in the group session would have to become newly familiarized with each new student every session, as opposed to our instructors who maintain an ongoing relationship with their respective students.
Yes. For academic tutoring we guarantee your child's grade will improve by at least 1 whole letter grade, please call for further details. For all our services, if you are not satisfied for any reason, your first hour will be free! We are committed to providing you with the best tutor possible.
No. Although we do require our clients to sign a form acknowledging our policies, there is no long-term commitment required. Clients may cancel scheduled appointments by 7pm on the day prior to the scheduled session at no charge.
We recognize that a strong rapport and good chemistry between tutor and student is essential to the effectiveness of one-on-one tutoring. Our private tutors are highly motivating, personable, well-rounded and skilled to create an environment which encourages students to achieve academic success. We strive to excite our students about the learning process; instilling in them a sense of confidence, which in turn makes them much more productive in the classroom.
Whether it’s government officials, educators or parents, everyone has something good to say about The Academic Advantage!
