The Best Tutoring in Hummelstown, PA

We tailor tutoring to what your child is learning in the Lower Dauphin School District. Our team stays current with Pennsylvania Academic Standards, PSSA expectations, and Keystone Exam requirements. We review classroom topics, upcoming units, and teacher expectations, then build a plan that supports those goals. For example, many Lower Dauphin middle schoolers need targeted math support. Since seventh grade math proficiency in the district is 34.6%, we focus on filling skill gaps while keeping pace with classwork. With your permission, we can also coordinate with teachers to align assignments, test prep, and study strategies.

We support students of all ages, from early elementary through high school and adult learners. Subjects include:
– Math: foundational skills, pre-algebra, Algebra I and II, geometry, precalculus, and calculus

– Science: general science, biology, chemistry, and physics
– Social studies and history
– World languages based on local availability
