Why are structured assessments important?

Compared to the assessments offered by many other tutoring professionals, which they may have developed on their own, the assessment we use was actually created by education professionals and is keyed to the State Standards that your child’s school follows at each grade level. This gives us a comprehensive view of how your daughter or son is performing in each of the areas that they will be expected to master in school.

This assessment has a value of $150. We provide it to you free of cost so you can discover where your child’s strengths and weaknesses lie. The assessment takes around 30-45 minutes and is taken by your child online at a time which best meets your schedule. We then arrange for a free of charge, in-home consultation, to go over the final results in detail with you. There is no cost or obligation for this meeting, and whether or not you decide to arrange for tutoring for your daughter or son, you will be much better informed about his or her learning needs.

Yes! We recommend the student’s teacher to work collaboratively with us to ensure effective learning in the classroom.

The number of tutoring visits depends on the needs of the student. As soon as the assessment is finished, we can create an educational program and propose how many visits may required to address the areas where the student needs help.

Our tutors come to your house to work with your child according to the routine that works best for the child and your family members.

Sessions may be one to two hours, depending on what works best for the student, as well as the learning course.

Our Tolland County and Hartford County tutors are screened and tested to ensure their ability to teach the courses appointed to them. Tutors are either credentialed teachers or specialists with university training in the subject matter.
