AT HOME ACADEMIC TUTORING

Families come to Aspire Education Project for at-home tutoring services for a variety of reasons. Some students are very bright, but for one reason or another need a little extra explanation of a particular subject in order for it to really sink in. Some students have no difficulty understanding the content of their classes but are struggling because they need to work on organizational skills, time management and efficient study habits. Other students may have found themselves enrolled in classes for which they were not properly prepared and need some foundational help. Many students will have a combination of these characteristics. At Aspire Education Project we are ready to help all students succeed and get the most out of their classes.

Our tutors provide one-on-one individualized help with subject content as well as guidance for improving study skills. Students typically sign up for one to two hours a week of academic tutoring, but schedules are flexible and can change depending on the student’s immediate needs. We match tutors and students carefully; a good match can create a relationship that gets the student over a particular obstacle in a month or two or it can provide continuing support that lasts for years.

Benefits of At Home Tutoring

Flexibility. Your family can plan tutoring sessions around sports practice, play rehearsal, vacations or other activities. We work with our network of tutors to find the right match for your schedule and academic needs.

Personal attention. Each student receives one-on-one attention from a trained Aspire Education Project tutor. We take care in tailoring our tutoring approach to the needs and learning style of the individual student.

Mentoring. AEP tutors act not only as teachers, but also as role models. They connect with students on a personal level and help them deal with non-academic issues that affect learning.

Our tutors
Aspire Education Project hires the most qualified tutors with advanced degrees in their fields or extensive experience with the subject matter. The tutors are carefully trained in pedagogy and supervised throughout their relationship with a client. Each tutor is thoroughly background-checked and screened for work with youth. Aspire Education Project attracts tutors who actively engage with young people and can relate to their experiences.
