Private Tutoring
One size does not fit all. Sometimes you need personalized help.
Intended for those who want long-term support in the language arts, our private tutoring is highly customizable. You may tutor in up to two subjects per lesson — English grammar skills, reading comprehension, literature and book study, literary or rhetorical analysis, writing, spelling, critical thinking, vocabulary, standardized test preparation for the verbal sections, or homework assistance.
