The Best Tutoring in Ecorse, MI

We start with a free, no pressure consultation to learn about your child’s goals, learning style, school demands, and schedule. Then we recommend a tutor based on subject expertise, personality fit, and experience working with similar learners. All tutors are thoroughly vetted and background checked. If the fit isn’t perfect, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or tutor. As your local owner and Education Consultant, Carolyn Graham, an experienced teacher and Special Education Specialist, oversees each match to set your child up for success.

We follow Michigan Academic Standards and the local pacing used by Ecorse Public Schools and nearby districts. During the consultation we review recent work, teacher feedback, IEP or 504 plans if applicable, and current class platforms such as Google Classroom. Tutors incorporate the same concepts your child sees in class, prepare for Michigan assessments like M-STEP, and reinforce skills teachers expect at each grade. Our goal is to help your child keep up in class and feel confident showing what they know on Michigan tests.

Yes. We offer one-to-one tutoring in your home anywhere in Ecorse and online across the Downriver area. In-home sessions work well for students who focus better face to face. Online sessions add flexibility and every online session is recorded so students can rewatch before quizzes and exams. We serve Ecorse plus River Rouge, Lincoln Park, Wyandotte, Melvindale, Allen Park, Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, Southgate, Riverview, Taylor, Trenton, Woodhaven, Grosse Ile, Romulus, Flat Rock, and more. We will help you choose the format that fits your family’s schedule and your child’s learning style.

We begin by identifying the root causes. For math, we check number sense, fractions, and readiness for algebra since gaps there often drive struggles later. For reading, we look at phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Then we build a targeted plan that blends direct instruction, guided practice, and real-time feedback. We also coach executive functioning through our X-Skills program to improve organization, time management, and test preparation. With only about 4 percent of Ecorse students proficient in math according to public reporting, personalized support can make a real difference. One local sixth-grade parent shared that after starting tutoring her daughter placed into Advanced Math for middle school.

Yes. We work closely with families to align tutoring with IEP and 504 goals and recommended accommodations. Carolyn Graham, our local owner and Education Consultant, holds a specialist credential in Special Education and guides families through planning. Tutors use multi-sensory strategies, break complex tasks into steps, and adjust pacing so students can build confidence and skills. We communicate progress clearly and collaborate with classroom teachers when families request it.

We support all core subjects for elementary, middle, and high school students, plus college and adult learners: Math from basic skills through algebra, geometry, precalculus, and beyond; English language arts including reading, writing, and grammar; Science such as biology, chemistry, physics, and general science; Social studies; World languages where available. We also offer test prep for M-STEP, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP courses, as well as study skills and homework support.

You will receive regular session reports that explain what was covered, how your child performed, and what is next. We set clear goals, check in on benchmarks, and adjust the plan as needed. When you want school alignment, we can coordinate with teachers so tutoring targets the right skills at the right time. This transparency helps you see steady progress and keeps everyone on the same page.

Start times depend on your child’s subject, availability, and whether you prefer in-home or online sessions. Most families move from consultation to first session quickly. The first session includes a friendly check-in to build rapport, a brief skills snapshot to locate gaps and strengths, and targeted instruction so your child leaves feeling encouraged. We then confirm a schedule that fits your family and set simple next steps you can count on.
