Students and parents may also earn free tutoring sessions by referring friends, family, classmates and other aquaintances to our company. Please contact us to learn the specific details about this offer.

The tutoring session will either take place at the student’s home or at an approved public location that all parties agree to. Approved public locations typically include, but are not limited to, libraries, coffee shops, bookstores, schools, or universities. We are happy to meet you wherever you feel most comfortable.

We have tutors who are qualified to help in all levels of math, physics, chemistry, biology, writing, reading, music theory, history, Spanish, French, and more! Since many of our tutors have their master's degree, we are capable of helping with many of those challenging upper division classes for which you will have difficulty finding help anywhere else.

We are prepared to accept students of all ages, including K-8 students, high school students, college students, graduate students, and non-traditional learners. We mainly specialize in helping high school and college students, though most of our tutors are great with younger students as well! We are happy to work with anyone seeking academic help.

High Performance Tutoring offers you the flexibility to work with any tutor you choose. If you feel that your current tutor is ineffective, we would be happy to help you identify a different tutor who would be a better match for you. We promise that nobody's feelings will be hurt in the process.

We select our tutors very carefully, assessing their subject proficiency, teaching ability, personality, and criminal background before training them. After passing the initial screening, all of our tutors are required to complete a rigorous, four-hour training program and pass our final assessment. While employees of High Performance Tutoring, they must stay up to date with company policy, resources, and strategies. Additionally, they must continue to receive positive feedback from students and parents.

Our training program covers company policy, effective use of company resources, building healthy relationships with students, teaching/learning styles, special needs, and subject specific strategies. Tutors must practice their teaching methods under observation, for which they receive feedback and must show signs of improvement over time. We pay special attention to the feedback they receive from students and parents during their first two months of employement. Additional training is provided if necessary.

All of our tutors are required to have a Bachelor’s degree and at least one full year of teaching or tutoring experience. Tutors must also pass our own assessment of their subject proficiency, teaching ability, personality and criminal background. Many of our tutors have a teaching liscense, a graduate degree or graduate school experience. For more information about our individual tutors you may view their online profiles.

This will greatly depend on your academic needs, schedule, and budget. We are happy to accomodate you in any way you would like, and make adjustments over time as necessasry. As a very general set of guidelines, consider the following three scenarios:

1. As Needed: Alex understands the material in his courses reasonably well and simply needs help studying for tests or some guidance in writing his papers. We recommend that Alex meets with his tutor on an as needed basis.

2. One or two hours per week: Beth has trouble completing most of her homework assignments and does not test well in her class. We recommend that Beth meets with their tutor one or two days before each homework assignment is due, as well as a day or two before each test.

3. Several hours per week: Charles is completely lost in one or more of his classes. He is behind on his work, and is struggling to understand new concepts as they require knowledge of previous material in the course. The class may possibly be a little face paced as well. We recommend that Charles meets with his tutor every day after class for one or two hours.
