If you are looking for a tutor, there are a number of variables that can affect what you pay. Some of the key factors include the age of the student, the complexity of the material they are covering, and their academic needs.

For example, if you are in the midst of a graduate-level program, those sessions could have a different price compared to those of a freshman high school student who is struggling in math. Additionally, you could get a discounted price per meeting if you sign up for a larger number of sessions. The best way to get detailed information about pricing is to contact one of our directors for a quote.

We believe there are three main reasons that we have some of the best tutors: 

- All of our tutors attended top ranked global institutions and have multiple years of not only teaching, but specifically tutoring experience.

- Our tutors are extremely qualified and we pay our instructors more than most tutoring service providers and match them constantly with new families and students so they don't think of leaving us for better pay.

 - We only take on tutors who espouse and apply our vision of quality service, outstanding teaching, and dedicated attention for the students that we serve.

It is because we aren't trying to compete with the Kaplan's, Princeton Review's and C2 Education's of this industry. The services we provide are uniquely different: personalized, highly individualized, and exclusive. We realize the students whose academic needs we service have the highest expectations, which it is our every goal we can fulfill.  We are a small, family-owned company with a big heart, and despite having expanded drastically in our reach and the number of students we service over the years, we still seek to provide the highest quality of service for each and everyone one of the students we assist.

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy that we strictly maintain and enforce.  Any tutoring cancelled by a family or a student under 24 hours, or any "no-shows", result in a full charge at the current agreed-upon corresponding tutoring rate for the duration of the time scheduled. Our tutors are busy professionals who must plan ahead and block out time to meet with their students, hence last-minute cancellations cause them to not be able to see another deserving student, and as a result we had to enforce this policy.

We supplement, complement, and polish the work of your private college counselor.  Most private and experienced private college counselors can help you come up with a college list.  We will match you with a writing specialist whose sole focus is to help the student complete all of their college applications and application essays, supplements, and personal statement. Our expert college specialists can come in at any step of the college application process, helping with anything from brainstorming possible statement ideas specific to each college the student will be applying to assisting on multiple drafts and essay polishes.

Call us! You will always get to speak with a co-founder directly. We want to put your mind at ease. We are proud of the service we have created and continue to personally run to this day, and of the outstanding results we have achieved for the students we assist.  We realize the high school and college journeys have become exponentially more stressful and anxiety-provoking for parents and students over the last few years, due to increasingly more competitive college admissions.  We are here to help ease that burden, provide a second set of eyes and ears, advise you every step of the way, and assist in any way that we can. You can lean on us and trust our multiple years of combined experience helping students and their families achieve their academic goals. We will get you where you need, want, and hope to be.
