We Can Help Your Child... Take Our Students’ Word For It!

Eric – Hilliard Davidson High School, 9th Grader

“Before coming to The Tutoring Center, I was getting a ‘C’ in math. Now, I am getting an ‘A+’ in Algebra. Even though I am getting straight A’s in everything and now on the Principal’s Honor Roll, I still like coming to The Tutoring Center because they really help me with new math concepts. They even gave me extra help with a Language Arts research paper, even though I am really in their Algebra Program.”

Francesca – Oak Creek Elementary, 5th Grader

“I really love going to The Tutoring Center. I wish I could go there every day. The instructors are really nice and they have helped me so much with my writing that all my homework seems easy now.”

Zach – Greensview Elementary, 2nd Grader

“Everyone at The Tutoring Center is very nice and it’s fun there. I really like their Toy Store and that I get to shop there every month if I work hard in my sessions.”
