We are more than just a typical tutoring service. As tutors, we see ourselves as more of Teaching Assistants / Academic Managers for each of the students who work with us. We work closely with your child in helping him or her to fully grasp the material in the subject area in which they need help so they can excel in that class and future classes as well. We teach-tutor each of our students, provide homework help, and prepare them for quizzes and tests. But this is only where our service begins.
Each of our students receives what we like to call “academic management,” which includes 1.) curriculum development, 2.) establishment of regular progress reporting from class teachers as permitted, 3.) help with improving time management and study skills, 4.) help with preparing for classes during summer breaks so they have a head start in the fall, 5.) help with planning schedules for completing research papers and projects so they are not left until the last minute, and 6.) overall assistance to parents for managing and maximizing their child’s academic career.

Our tutoring philosophy at The Teaching Tutors is based on the concept of homeschooling! We believe that students more fully grasp a subject when they are learning in a one student-one teacher environment. Homeschooling students benefit from this environment, often working one-on-one with specialized-tutors who fully explain, review, and also teach-tutor sequentially the lessons for the courses in which the student is enrolled. The tutor also serves as a liaison between the student and the actual teacher for that class. The truth is that even the best, most dedicated teachers have a hard time giving undivided, personal attention to each and every student since there are only so many hours in the day.
That’s where we come in!
We apply the homeschooling method of teach-tutoring to students who attend traditional schools and work with them on the classes that they find most difficult to ensure that they fully, and not “kind of,” grasp the material. As we teach-tutor our students, we also assess what fundamental skills the student may have missed in that subject area in previous years and teach them those skills as well. A student struggling in Algebra II, for example, may just be lacking a strong foundational understanding of fractions, variables, and graphing that he or she should have mastered in earlier grades.
We also help our students prepare for tests by challenging them with problems of varying difficulty levels so that they’ll be prepared for anything they get in class! Students can also work with their teaching-tutor on a customized plan in our easy-to-use virtual online classroom... from the comfort of their own home... or from any location! [...more]
