How is Leading Edge Tutors different from a learning center?
Leading Edge Tutors comes directly to you, in the convenience of your home, and we are generally more affordable than learning centers. There are no expensive academic evaluations, hidden costs or contracts. Our tutors work with the class curriculum along with the awareness and understanding of your child’s distinctive learning style. Although we do not require a time-committed contract, we strongly encourage regular scheduled sessions to achieve your child’s highest potential.
Are your tutors experienced with students of special needs or disabilities?
Yes, many of our tutors work with Individual Education Plans and understand the unique requirements of a special needs child. Our goal is to empower children, help them excel, and build confidence in their academic capability and their future opportunities.
Does Leading Edge Tutors supply any learning materials for the tutoring sessions?
We recommend that the child bring home his/her textbooks or any other class materials that relate to the tutored subject (s). In some cases, our tutors will provide materials to complement the current lessons.
Do you work with home-schoolers?
Yes, our company is very familiar with the home-schooling community and needs. We recognize that home-schooling is a viable alternative to more traditional methods of education. Our tutors teach your child’s curriculum; traditional, online or independent study.
Can tutoring take place at a location other than my home?
Yes, our tutors can meet at a public or school library at your convenience. We require that a parent or guardian over the age of 21 be present during the session.
What if my child doesn’t like the tutor?
If, after the first session is complete, you do not think the tutor is a good match for your child, Leading Edge will not charge for that particular session and another tutor will be contacted. We will work closely with you to select a more suitable tutor, and make every effort to ensure the perfect child/tutor partnership.
Is there a minimum commitment, and how long is each session?
We do not require a time commitment although we strongly suggest continuity in order to realize the greatest benefit. There is a one-hour minimum duration per session.
How long do I have to wait to get a tutor assigned to my child?
Starting with the first phone call, the director will ask questions to start the perfect tutor selection for your child. After the in-home consultation, the director will immediately contact appropriate tutors. Placement will usually happen within 2 days. You will be informed about the tutor chosen and the initial meeting will be set to a mutual schedule.
