Does My Child Need a Tutor?
If your child is behind, struggling, or not enjoying school, then a tutor may be the best course of action to get them back on track! However, those are not the only reasons to hire a tutor! Children who are on grade level or ahead also benefit from the one-on-one and individualized attention that tutoring provides. The benefits of tutoring extend beyond grades on a report card too! Tutoring can boost confidence, increase critical thinking skills, improve study habits, and setup your student for a lifetime of success! Our tutors also make learning engaging and fun, so your child will love having the personalized attention from their tutor. If you are still unsure if a tutor is right for you, contact us to learn more!

What Parents are Saying
Testimonials from actual clients:
“Ms. Bullick was great to work with. She came up with some fun math games to challenge my 2nd grader. She came to our house with all the supplies to play multiple games. She left him with a pack of challenge activities to do after she left. He had fun and immediately wanted to do more of his challenge packet after she left. Ms. Bullick is knowledgeable and well versed in all areas of education. I would highly recommend her for any of your tutoring needs!“
-Amanda D.
“Ms. Bullick is fabulous! My 4 year old son enjoys his sessions with her. She is professional, friendly, easy to communicate with. With all her teaching experience she was able to provide lesson plans that were age appropriate and challenging for my son. It has been neat to see him grow in his readiness for kindergarten!”
