We then recommend a tutor with the right subject expertise and a teaching style that fits how your child learns. All tutors are carefully vetted through interviews and background checks. If the fit is not quite right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or match. The goal is a tutor your child connects with and looks forward to seeing.
