Frequently Asked Questions
We tailor tutoring to what your child is learning in class and to Massachusetts standards. Our team follows the scope and sequence used in Boston Public Schools and nearby districts like Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, Somerville, and Quincy. We build sessions around current units, teacher expectations, and MCAS item types.
Why this matters in Boston: recent results show only 41% of students in grades 3 to 8 met math expectations, and science proficiency at some Boston high schools ranges from about 28% to 63%. We focus on filling learning gaps, practicing MCAS-style questions, and building confidence so students can meet these demands. With your permission, we can coordinate with teachers to align goals. Book a free consultation to discuss your child’s school, classes, and targets.
We support learners of all ages, from early elementary through college and adult learners.
Subjects include:
– Math: number sense, pre-algebra, Algebra 1 and 2, geometry, precalculus, calculus, statistics
– English Language Arts: reading, writing, grammar, literature, research
– Science: general science, biology, chemistry, physics, environmental science
– Social studies and study skills
– World languages
– Test prep: MCAS, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP exams
– Executive function coaching through our X-Skills program for organization, time management, and planning
