TUTORING & academic support
Tutoring & coaching exclusively online allows us to expand our reach to more students geographically
and increases service reliability by nearly eliminating cancellations due to traffic, light illness, etc. Students connect quickly and efficiently each session with their tutor via Zoom or GoogleMeet allowing for the most productive use of our time together.
Why are we different than online learning through school?
Much has changed since we first began offering tutor services online in April 2019, a year before the COVID-19 pandemic shuttered in-person learning everywhere. During that time we studied closely what works and what doesn't work in online educational settings from coast-to-coast, and used the information to develop an individualized experience that is designed to engage students and maximize productivity.
Higher frequency can mean better results
Aside from expanding our ability to efficiently reach more people, many of our students benefit from receiving multiple, shorter sessions each week rather than a longer, full session less frequently. This provides opportunities for more frequent interaction with each student and quicker action from our tutors & coaches to respond to challenges instead of waiting days or weeks for the next session.
Steady guidance along the academic path
The values of stability and consistency along a student's academic journey cannot be understated. Moving to another city, changing schools, or just leveling can cause academic stress for a student. Our educational platform allows us to transcend most major school and family changes while continuing to provide consistent and steady support for our students. Most Academic Ascent clients stay with us through multiple grades, and our average client tenure is now in excess of four years!
