Grade levels
Kindergarten to grade 12. What a child needs from a tutor changes with age, so here is what one-to-one lessons look like at each stage.
Kindergarten to grade 5
Elementary school
Reading, writing and number skills that everything later depends on.
- Short lessons
- One skill at a time
- A grown-up nearby
Grade 6 to grade 8
Middle school
More teachers, more homework and the first courses that count toward high school.
- The subject that slipped
- Study habits
- Getting ready for high school
Grade 9 to grade 12
High school
Course-by-course help in the years when grades start to count.
- The course in front of them
- Tests and deadlines
- Working independently
Adults will be able to book lessons for themselves too, with the same tutors.
