Blockhead Tutors
Building Lifelong Learners Starts with a Partnership
Tutors Bring out the Best in Students
We believe that the foundation of tutoring is giving students the toolkit required to become active participants in educational endeavors. After-school tutors provide skills and strategies to help every student excel academically and beyond.
At Blockhead Tutoring, our team of well-rounded educators facilitate our academic tutoring services. Blockhead tutors are carefully screened and selected for their exceptional academic backgrounds and experience as educational facilitators.
Tutors work together with students to build a trusting relationship and empower them to discover their path to academic success. We strive to meet each individual student’s unique learning styles and educational needs.
We believe that fostering a lifelong academic relationship towards excellence is a team effort. Students are paired tutors through a science-based matching approach to align compatible personalities as well as learning and teaching styles.
Blockhead tutors’ goal for elementary, high school, and college tutoring is to build a one-on-one relationship with each student.
Student-Tutor Anonymity
At Blockhead Tutoring, we understand that the academic journey of each student is unique and personal. We ensure that our educators abide by a strict Code of Ethics, and confidentiality is highly valued. Students and their families can feel comfortable and protected knowing that their tutoring sessions and plans are 100% private.
