Why take advantage of
Step Up Tutoring?
Homework help.
Mastering your class material is no easy task but we want to help every student we work with accomplish this goal. More importantly, we want to encourage curiosity in learning.
Mentorship.
Our tutors come from a diversity of backgrounds but all have one thing in common: they are educated from the top schools in the country. They can help your child do the same.
Game Nights.
We will host frequent game nights that all students are invited to! Think Scatter-gories, Pictionary, Jeopardy, creative writing games and many more!
Rewards.
Students who have strong attendance and engagement in their one-on-one meetings are recognized with gift cards, certificates, toys, and other prizes.
Our program is based on three pillars of student success
Academic Success
Our tutors will work with your child to master any problem their teacher throws at them. Not only will we work with them to achieve a deeper understanding of the material, but also will help the student stay accountable and turn in all of their work.
Fun learning
We want sessions to be fun, social, and interesting. We will engage in exciting challenges, educational games, and positive dialogue. During this particularly lonely time of isolation, it is vital that children are developing their socialization skills.
Goal setting
Many of our tutors come from highly selective colleges—Stanford, UCLA, USC, Pepperdine, Berkeley, and more. Without setting goals and dreaming big at a young age, many of them would not have been able to get in to such exclusive schools. Our tutors will actively mentor your child to set short and long-term goals that will inevitably lead to success.
Meet our amazing tutors
All of our tutors have been trained to tutor online in 1-on-1 settings. In our tutor selection process, we choose tutors who we think will really care about their students and will give them the full support they deserve!
