The Best Tutoring in University Park, PA

We are locally owned and led by Kevin Price, a Penn State graduate and father of two. Our team understands the pace of University Park life, from State College Area schools to Penn State course loads. We offer one-to-one tutoring in your home or online, personalized to your student’s goals and learning style. You get session reports after every visit, a thoughtful tutor match, and our Tutor Fit Guarantee. Families across State College, University Park, Bellefonte, Boalsburg, Lemont, Pine Grove Mills, and nearby communities choose us for clear communication and real progress. A local parent shared, “My son has improved in math and went from a D to an A-.”

It starts with a free consultation. We learn about your student’s goals, classes, interests, and schedule. We then match them with a tutor who fits their subject needs and personality. The exact timeline depends on subject, availability, and goals. Most families begin soon after the consultation. If the fit is not right, we will adjust the plan or tutor through our Tutor Fit Guarantee.

Yes. For Penn State students, we review syllabi, key deadlines, and exam formats to target high-impact topics in courses like math, sciences, economics, and writing-intensive classes. For K-12 students, we align with State College Area School District and nearby districts such as Bellefonte, Bald Eagle Area, Penns Valley, and Philipsburg-Osceola. We can coordinate with teachers, reinforce class materials, and build study habits that match local expectations.

We support elementary, middle, and high school students, college students at Penn State, and adult learners. Common areas include math, reading and writing, science, world languages, study skills, executive function coaching with our X-Skills program, and test prep for SAT, ACT, AP Exams, and more. We also help with college-level courses and general education requirements at University Park.

You receive a session report after every tutoring session. Reports highlight what was covered, wins, and next steps. We set short-term goals, monitor grades and assignment completion, and adjust the plan as needed. Many students also work on X-Skills like organization, planning, time management, and prioritization. You can check in with us at any time, and we will proactively follow up.

Yes. We tailor sessions to each learner and can align with IEPs or 504 Plans. Tutors are trained to break tasks into clear steps, pace lessons appropriately, and use strategies that fit how your student learns best. We can coordinate with parents and teachers to keep support consistent at home and at school.

Look for signs like slipping grades, missed assignments, test anxiety, or a drop in confidence. If your student avoids asking for help, that is also a signal. At Penn State in fall 2023, 41 percent of students who were advised to seek tutoring did not use it, which means many missed a key chance to improve. Early support matters. A free consultation can help you decide on the right plan.

Yes, we offer both. In-home sessions happen where your student is most comfortable. Online sessions provide flexible scheduling and every online session is recorded for easy review before quizzes and exams. Session length and frequency depend on goals, course load, and availability. We will recommend a plan during your consultation and adjust as progress builds.
