How does TutorDr compare to learning centers or private tutoring?
 
TutorDr is better than regular learning centers since students receive the complete attention of their tutors. Most learning centers have three students per tutor and charge $50 or more per hour. Others provide only worksheets! Private tutors are expensive, usually charging $70 or more per hour. TutorDr provides high quality one-on-one tutoring at only $99.99 a month. In addition, TutorDr provides worksheets, practice tests, lessons and even animations. Our interactive material makes learning engaging and more effective than typical face-to-face tutoring.
 
Does every student get personalized instruction?
 
  • TutorDr’s instruction is completely personalized. Students work one-on-one with an expert tutor who gives the student 100% attention.
     
  • Students can book sessions with tutors they have used in the past. This means a student can continue working with the same tutors time and again. The tutors will better understand the student’s needs, learning styles, and what approaches and techniques work best for that individual student.
     
  • A student can identify four or five tutors he/she enjoys working with in each subject, and then use the ‘Preferred Tutor Tool’ to book sessions with those tutors whenever they are available. This will give the student a greater continuity of experience and ensure an even more personalized learning environment.
