You’ll require a computer with a high-speed internet connection, and, if not built into your computer, a webcam and headset.

Online tutoring is most appropriate for school-age children and adults who demonstrate the ability to focus for the duration of the session and do not require “hands-on” help. The client will also have to demonstrate progress to support continuation of online tutoring services. We screen all clients before tutoring, ensuring that the client is the appropriate candidate for online tutoring services.

We offer one-on-one skills-based learning support and tutoring for all core school subjects for students in pre-K through college. We also offer help for state tests in language arts, math, social studies, and science for grades 3 through high school. We also offer preparation for the SHSAT for admission into specialized public high schools, the ISEE/SSAT for admission into private boarding and day schools, academic tests in all subject areas, Regents, the PSAT, the SAT, the PLAN, the ACT, and the GRE. We also provide assistance with college essays.

Sessions are arranged at a convenient time during the day, evening, or weekend. Sessions are scheduled in advance (we need at least 24-48 hours’ notice). The client simply logs onto SKYPE, FaceTime, Google+ Hangout, or iChat at the predetermined time. The sessions are 60 minutes long.

The benefits are access to high-quality tutoring services from high-caliber New York City learning specialists from the convenience of your computer.
