The class moved on. Your child did not.
One unit never landed, and every new one is built on top of it. A tutor goes back to the missing step and rebuilds from there.

Which one sounds like your house?
Tutoring is not only for children who are behind. It helps for three different reasons.
Homework takes the whole evening.
Your child is working hard and still guessing. A regular lesson steadies the week before small gaps add up to a big one.
Bored, and finished early.
Class is too slow and there is nothing harder to do. A tutor can go deeper into this year’s work or start on next year’s.
Not sure? Seven signs a tutor would help, and three that point somewhere else
Every tutor has passed two exams before meeting your child
One in the subject they teach. One in how to teach it. That is what American Board certification means, and it is the only kind of tutor AB Tutors will list.
Anyone can call themselves a tutor. Being able to explain fractions to a ten-year-old who has decided they hate them is a different skill, and it is the one you are paying for.

Three steps, once we open
No call to sit through and nothing to sign.
Find your tutor
Search by subject and grade. Read each tutor’s background, and send a message if you have a question before you book.
Book a time
Open times are shown in your own time zone. Pick one, say who the lesson is for, and pay for that lesson. You can move or cancel it later.
Meet online
At lesson time, open the lesson page and choose Join lesson. Afterwards you can book the next one and leave a review.
You stay in charge
- Your account, not your child’s
- You choose the tutor, book, pay and open each lesson. Children do not get a login.
- Messages come to you
- A tutor can write to you, never to your child, and only once you have booked them.
- We ask for a first name and a grade
- No email, password or birth date for a child. The less we hold, the less there is to protect.
What it costs
Each tutor sets an hourly rate. You see the price before you pay, and you pay for one lesson at a time.
- Lessons of 30, 60 or 90 minutes
- Free to create an account and message a tutor
- All your money back if you cancel 24 hours ahead
- All your money back if the tutor cancels or does not show
What parents ask first
Who are the tutors?
Every tutor is an American Board certified teacher. Our team reviews each tutor’s background and profile and approves it before families can find it.
How much does a lesson cost?
Each tutor sets an hourly rate, shown on their profile and in search. The price of a lesson is that rate for the length you choose, and you see it before you pay.
What if we need to cancel?
Cancel 24 hours or more before the lesson and you get all of your money back. Cancel later than that and you get 50% back. If the tutor cancels or does not turn up, you are refunded in full.
Does my child need an account?
No. A parent or guardian holds the account, adds the child’s first name and grade, and books and pays. Children do not have logins. Adults can also book lessons for themselves.
Where do lessons happen?
Online, by video, in the tutor’s own meeting room. On the day, open the lesson page and choose Join lesson. It opens 10 minutes before the start.
When does AB Tutors open?
We are not taking bookings yet. Join the waitlist and we will email you once, when tutors can be booked.
