The Best Tutoring in Grosse Pointe Woods, MI

We support students of all ages, from elementary through adult learners. Families choose us for one-to-one help in math, reading and writing, science, world languages, social studies, AP classes, and test prep for PSAT, SAT, ACT, and AP exams.

Our process is simple and personal. First, we meet for a free consultation to understand goals, learning style, schedule, and school requirements. Then we recommend a tutor who fits your child by subject expertise, teaching approach, and personality. Sessions are one-to-one, in-home or online. You receive updates after each session. If the fit is not quite right, our Tutor Fit Guarantee means we will adjust the plan or tutor. Local oversight is provided by Owner and Education Consultant Carolyn Graham, a former teacher and principal with a specialist in special education.

Local data shows that about 43 percent of students tested below proficient in math, which is why we focus on both concept mastery and confidence so students can keep pace with GPPSS coursework.

You receive a session report after every meeting that summarizes what was covered, wins and challenges, and next steps.

Common signs include homework battles, falling or uneven grades, missing assignments, test anxiety, or a drop in confidence. A free consultation will help us determine the right plan. How quickly progress shows depends on the student’s starting point, goals, and session frequency.

One local parent shared that her 6th grader moved into Advanced Math after getting one-to-one support. Results vary, but a personalized plan gives your child the best chance to grow.
