The Best Tutoring in Birmingham, MI

We tailor each plan to match what your child is learning in class. Our team stays current with Michigan Academic Standards and the expectations of Birmingham Public Schools. We review teacher feedback, assignments, and upcoming tests from schools like Quarton Elementary, Derby Middle School, and Seaholm and Groves High Schools. This helps us reinforce classroom topics, fill gaps, and prepare for quizzes, unit tests, and state assessments. Birmingham students are strong in math overall, with about 65 percent proficiency, but many still need support with foundational skills. We meet students where they are and build from there.

We follow a four-step process. First, we assess goals, learning needs, and your child’s personality in a free consultation. Next, we match with a tutor based on subject expertise, teaching style, and fit. Then tutoring begins with a personalized plan. Finally, we support your family with regular updates after each session. Our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or the tutor if the fit is not right.

Yes. Our local owner, Carolyn Graham, is a former principal and a Special Education specialist. We work with students who have a wide range of learning differences. We coordinate with families to align tutoring with IEP or 504 goals and use strategies that match how each student learns best. Many families choose to add our X-Skills coaching for organization, time management, and study routines that make school feel more manageable.

You will receive brief session reports after every meeting that summarize what was covered, wins from the session, and next steps. We set clear goals, monitor classwork and test results, and adjust the plan as needed. We check in with parents and students regularly and can coordinate with teachers when helpful. For online tutoring, recorded sessions are available so students can review before tests.

We begin by identifying where the breakdown occurs. This often includes a quick skills check and a review of classwork. We then teach concepts step by step using your child’s preferred learning style, add targeted practice, and connect skills to real problems so they stick. We also build study and homework routines through our X-Skills program. Many Birmingham families see strong results. As one local parent shared, their sixth grader who always struggled in math started tutoring and then placed into Advanced Math for middle school.

Start with a free consultation. We will learn about your goals, recommend a plan, and suggest a tutor who is a strong fit. Sessions can begin in-home or online. Timing depends on subject, schedule, and tutor availability.
