1:1 Tutoring
These are fully personalized lessons for one student. We adjust the pace and difficulty to your child’s current level, covering concept understanding, problem solving, assignments, and exam preparation.
You can choose online or in-person lessons, and before exams the classes can shift into intensive review mode.
Small-Group Tutoring
Regular classes for up to 4 students. Students with similar levels and goals review key concepts and frequently tested question types together as they prepare for the semester.
The program runs from February 2 to June 16, 2025.,
Final exam prep class
Final exam prep classes are short-term programs that focus intensively on school final exams and major assessments. We consider each school’s exam scope and difficulty while organizing past questions, question types, and practice exams.
Dec 23 – Jan 20 — runs during the winter break period.
