Our tutoring program begins with your child taking our assessment test. The results of this test serve as an aid to determine the recommended hours necessary to bring your child’s knowledge up to grade-level. The test will also be used to streamline the tutorial sessions and minimize the time spent “searching in the dark” for the critical topics to discuss.

Session notes will be emailed after every session. Progress is assessed every 3-6 months by administering another version of the initial assessment test.
