When it comes to increasing academic success, nothing is more effective than personalized tutoring. Tutorpedia is founded on the belief that every student can benefit from having a tutor.
We at Tutorpedia are dedicated to providing students of all ages, grade levels, abilities, and incomes with exceptional learning experiences that not only help them do better in school, but also give them the intellectual tools to become lifelong learners who are successful in school, work, and life.
Students at Tutorpedia see results. They regularly and consistently report an increase in their grades and standardized test scores. They also experience an improvement in their school attendance, class participation, and motivation after working with a Tutorpedia tutor.
While raising grades and test scores are common goals of the tutoring experience, they are not the only goals. Tutorpedia's tutors do more than give homework help; they emphasize the intrinsic value of education and help students find meaning and relevance in learning for the sake of learning.
We believe that if students are focused on the journey of learning, rather than the product, then improved grades and test scores, college acceptance letters, and a fulfilling future will naturally follow.
A. We do one-on-one tutoring for students all over the Bay Area. Tutors come to students' homes and work with them on academic subjects or test prep. Our cohort of accomplished tutors can work with any age, any ability level, and any subject.
A. Be sure that you are comfortable with the tutor on a personal level as well as an academic level. The biggest predictor of success in a tutoring situation is if the tutor and student have a good working relationship. We have over 60 tutors on staff, and you can browse their profiles on our website (www.tutorpedia.com/tutors). We can help match you with a tutor, but if you find that it isn't the right fit, just let us know and we'll find someone else that hopefully is a better fit.
A. One on one learning is the most effective way to increase student achievement. We are motivated both by the individual gains each of our students make, and by the knowledge that we can use tutoring to fill in the gaps left in this country's education system. Personalizing education is an investment that represents one of the best ways to fix our education system as a whole, one student at a time.
A. Our customers often ask, "how does this work?" The answer is that it's entirely up to you! You can set your own schedule with a tutor and meet as often as you'd like, in any location you want (usually tutoring happens in the home). There are no long-term contracts; everything is pay-as-you go, although you can save some money by purchasing packages of hours. Students usually meet with their tutor once or twice every week, but there is no hard-and-fast rule that says this is the way to do it. Everything we do is built around your needs!
