How We Work
Online video tutoring allows students to get help when and where they need it − at home, on school trips, and even on family vacations.
​
Lectures are boring! We utilize the most current screen-sharing and collaboration technologies to let our students actively practice and work through problems in every session.

There's no need to install any software. To join a lesson, simply use a web browser to navigate to your unique lesson link.
Subjects
Test Prep
SAT and ACT
Shooting for the stars? Achieve your maximum scores with a one-of-a-kind curriculum centered on exercises and activities! Rather than tricks, we teach the methods that help students decode the fundamental test tasks and also enhance their academic performance. SAT and ACT programs are available. Specialized programs in ACT Science, GMAT, and GRE are also available by request.
Science
Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science
All science is done according to logical procedures which have evolved over hundreds of years. Unfortunately, too many teachers skip steps, which makes science seem more like magic than logic :-(
We teach the concepts and complete methods in plain English and give students the tools to solve any problem, anywhere. College/AP Physics, Computer Science, and Chemistry are available.
Math
Calculus, Trigonometry, Algebra
The best way to learn is by doing! Instead having students sit through lectures like in school math classes, we get those pencils moving with exercises tailored to every student and provide guided feedback as they work through practice problems. College/AP Calculus, Honors Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and Statistics are available.
English
Language and Literature
Are your English classes more boring than a bowl of dirt? Does passing a Literary Analysis or DBQ seem like a feat of infernal sorcery? Fear not! We help students improve their reading and writing fluency with a mechanics-centered approach that teaches them how to accurately read texts with less effort and how to clearly express their own ideas. Honors/AP English, Literature, and Composition are available.
Engineering and STEM
Academic Support and Summer Enrichment
STEM skills are critical for the future . . . blah, blah, blah. Forget that, engineering and technology are freakin' FUN! With summer programs in Electronics and Programming, we teach students fundamentals of electronic devices and computer programming which they can immediately use to create their own software and devices. The courses teach the concepts through projects and challenge students to augment them by applying those same concepts. Academic support is also available for college and high school engineering classes.
Literature
Summer Enrichment
Reading skills are one of the toughest things to develop, yet critically important. Writing and Literature are how we preserve and communicate the most important and beautiful ideas from human history! Our summer reading programs help students improve critical reading skills and prepare for the SAT with a mechanics-centered approach that teaches them how the basic parts of speech − nouns, adjectives, and verbs − are used to communicate distinct ideas.

Request a Trial Session
Trial Sessions are 2 hours each and subject to availability. During trial sessions, we work with the student on an academic subject of their choice and diagnose their learning style, strengths, and areas of opportunity. Following the session we recommend a program that will help them reach their academic goals.
