You’ve found the solution for your child’s struggles.

Homework piling up?
Tests to be studied for?
Report cards just around the corner?

When children struggle with schoolwork, it can affect their self-esteem as well as their motivation toward learning.  But it also affects you, as you painfully sit by and watch this happen.  It’s no one’s fault, but it’s there. If not addressed, these problems usually grow and can limit a child's potential.

How did things veer off-track?  Unfortunately, these struggles usually begin in today’s classroom, where a large-group learning situation simply cannot respond to the needs of the individual child.

But, there is a solution. One where you don’t even have to leave home to take your child on a successful journey – from frustration, struggling and perhaps even fear – to the breakthrough moment that leads to success. 

A breakthrough moment.  You know: when a light bulb seems to switch on, or you see eyes widen and an exclamation like “ah HA!”  It’s a new and exhilarating destination for the child – a restoring of self-confidence to once again make learning enjoyable, maybe even downright fascinating.

The most effective solution to address problems such as these is with 1-to-1 tutoring in the home. We come to you and offer tutoring in all subjects, including:

• Basic math through calculus and beyond
• Reading (all levels)
• English
• Foreign languages
• Chemistry and Biology
• Government
• Test preparation (ACT/SAT, etc.)
• Test taking skills and strategies
• AP Courses (all)
  

We also assist our students by providing:

• Homework assistance
• Study skills instruction
• We even offer a complete line of fully accredited courses (grades 7 – 12) - a great resource for any student who needs to pick up just that one extra class, or for anyone who wants to complete an entire grade or more.

What Makes the Program Work?

Consider the Tutor Train benefits:

The most effective way to address any acedemic problem is with our 1-to-1 tutoring in the home:

• No pre-set curriculum . . . each child is unique
• Tutoring focused on the actual schoolwork . . . we add supplementary material to make the learning come alive
• Student-driven learning . . . children feel comfortable telling their tutor what they would hold back in front of the whole class

One-to-one instruction is an extremely effective way to learn. With this relationship, the teacher can easily determine how each student processes and understands information, and then is able to explain the material in a way that makes sense. There is no better way to learn and overcome academic struggles than with a teacher that knows how you think and can explain the material in a way that “just makes sense” to you.

Using your home, or even another nearby and familiar location, ensures a "comfort zone" for the student and eliminates the competition that can happen even in tutoring groups of only two or three others. Our tutors make the entire experience very comfortable and that makes the learning enjoyable.

Tutor Train provides opportunities for academic success through:

• A guaranteed teacher to student ratio of 1-to-1
• Individualized tutoring
• Certified, qualified and experienced tutors
• Flexible scheduling
• Lessons conducted in your home or other convenient location
• Familiarity and consistency
• No long-term contracts

The Tutor Train program helps parents, too!

Because Tutor Train's program is not center-based, it is often the best solution for many busy families:

• Lesson times can be arranged around busy schedules.
• Parents do not have to juggle time or deal with traffic for pickups or drop-offs.
• Children can easily participate in other after-school activities and still receive the academic support they need.
• Tuition fits your budget and we will never lock you into a long-term obligation.

The Tutor Train experience becomes very familiar.

In many center-based programs the tutor may change from session to session, or there may be one tutor for every three-five students. We understand the values of a consistent relationship between tutor and student. Tutor Train provides tutors to match a student’s individual circumstances, then continues to provide the same tutor for the duration of the program.  Not only does the student develop a good working relationship with the tutor, but the parents become very familiar with them as well.

When your child’s problem is solved, we say farewell.

At Tutor Train we believe that once the student and family's goal is accomplished, the destination is reached.

You won't be bound by a long-term contract to continue with our tutoring services. It is our goal for students to achieve success as quickly as possible.

We'll be here for you if you need us again! And if you do, we know you'll call on us.
