School Subject Tutoring

- For middle & high school students

Subject Tutoring is supplemental learning for a specific subject, typically for students from middle school through college. Math, Critical Reading/Writing (Language Arts), Science, Physics, and History; these are academic skills that ALL students in every grade need to succeed, and we will help you all! We offer 1-to-1 private and small group tutoring for students in grades 6-12.

Math

     ●From Grade 6 to 12

If a student falls behind in math skills, it can snowball into an academic crisis. Math skills build from one level to another. For example, if a student cannot grasp division, he will not be able to keep up with the lessons on fractions. Math skills are part of everyday life - from shopping and banking to building and cooking. Failure to understand math concepts and when to use them can lead to mistakes, frustration, and embarrassment. Our experienced tutors will help you advace your math level on Pre-algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-calculus as well as Calculus.
