Philadelphia Tutoring FAQ

How much does 51勛圖厙 cost for students in Philadelphia?

Cost is always going to be a concern when seeking out tutoring for students in Philadelphia. In our case, the biggest factors are usually the number of sessions and the level of expertise you'll need.

For instance, a parent securing a few weeks of test prep for the ACT may get one price quoted, while a college student preparing for the MCAT over the course of months gets quoted another. If you do need more sessions, you may get a lower cost per session by signing up for more of them. It all depends on what you need, your budget, and the value you can receive from such work.

Which tutoring subjects does 51勛圖厙 offer for students in Philadelphia?

A tutor for students in Philadelphia can provide academic assistance on a wide range of topics, from science to reading and writing and beyond, and do so at almost any level of study. That's because 51勛圖厙 takes the time to thoroughly evaluate each tutor in an effort to ensure they have the skill, experience, and expertise necessary to support you or your student.

If you're seeking professional certification in your field, we'll set you up with someone who knows the topics and exams you'll be facing. You can also meet up with a tutor to study a language before a trip abroad or learn the accordion to get in touch with Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. The possibilities are seemingly endless.

Why choose 51勛圖厙 for tutoring in Philadelphia?

A big benefit of tutoring for students in Philadelphia is that you get individual attention. Every session is 1-on-1.

This means the student has their tutor's undivided attention and can ask as many questions as they like. This attention can be hard to get in the classroom at times. It also means the instruction can be tailored to a student's needs. If more time is required on a specific math topic like geometric proofs, the proposed learning plan can be altered to meet the student where they're at. Tactics can be altered, as well. If, for instance, someone is a more auditory learner, they might be asked to explain their thinking aloud in that case.

We understand that looking for academic assistance can seem daunting. There are a lot of study options available, ranging from study guides and study groups to tutors you find from word of mouth or web research.

51勛圖厙 aims to take the headache out of the process. When you speak with one of our Educational Directors, they can provide additional information on how it works. Once they know more about you or your student's needs and concerns, they can provide information on your options and potential costs. After answering any other questions you might have, they can then provide a recommended course of action and get you started.

Recent Philadelphia Tutoring Session Notes

Tutoring review by Kenneth in Philadelphia, PA
We spent most of the session going over the student's diagnostic test. We also began to discuss some strategies based on the results of the diagnostic. I plan to come up with more concrete strategies as I continue to learn the student's strengths and weaknesses where the ACT is concerned.

Tutoring review by Ramya in Philadelphia, PA
The student and I spent the first half of the session reviewing Chapter 1-8 of the second book in A Tale of Two Cities. We not only covered content, but looked at the significance of the literary elements. We spent the latter half of the session reviewing on his history paper. The student still needed to research some aspects of the Rwandan genocide and the conflict in Sudan so we discussed an outline of the points that he will address and found the relevant information in his books/online. He finished the first half of the outline. The student will complete the outline and start working on his paper by the next session so I can help him review it.

Tutoring review by Rachel in Philadelphia, PA
The student and I went over the questions he got wrong on his last test, which primarily included factorials and the Bernoulli theorem. We talked about the sampling distribution for normal and non-normal populations, and practiced estimating the population mean from a sample (or multiple samples), as well as the standard deviation (for small samples and samples greater than 30). We discussed why estimates of the mean approach the true mean as you take more and more samples, and as the sample size increases. We ended by briefly introducing confidence intervals, and why it can be beneficial to predict parameters based on an interval rather than a point estimate.

Tutoring review by Anne in Philadelphia, PA
We went through two chapters covering the cell and its components. We filled out a study guide that will hopefully help studying Monday night when we cannot meet. I think he will catch up easily, it just takes a few times to see the material to start remembering it a little better. Once he gets the main terms down, the concepts and processes will be easier to understand.

Tutoring review by Lorna in Philadelphia, PA
In my session with the student today we finished all of her study guide for her psychology exam, and went through the practice quizzes provided by the textbook website. There was a lot of material for the first exam, and I wanted to make sure the student wasn't feeling overwhelmed by it. She ended up getting a 95% on the online exam, so for her next test we will take the same successful approach.

Tutoring review by Natalie in Philadelphia, PA
Today we reviewed a writing prompt the student had started over the weekend. Overall, he did a really good job, so I pointed out just a few things that could make his writing stronger (new paragraphs, using the same tense, and punctuation). We also worked on synonyms. I asked him to have flashcards for next time so that we can work more intensely on vocab.
