A Letter From Our CEO

Dear Parent -

I can relate. My wife and I have four kids under ten. We both work. And now our kids are home… indefinitely. It's daunting, and that's without looking at the big picture, which is equal parts scary and tragic.

If you're like us there was a period of shock and awe when it hit home that school was closing. Then there was a rally – "OK, we can do this. We'll set up a schedule for them each day and we'll keep things really structured." And the first day was tough, but the second seemed OK, and then by day four the wheels started to come off the bus because this is really, really hard. Emotionally it's hard. Logistically and just from a sheer workload perspective it's hard. If any of this resonates with you, I think we can help get some degree of normalcy and routine back into your family life. And in the process, we can help fill the academic void that emerged when schools shut down or tried to move online.

Here's what we're offering - it's easiest to describe it in the context of my fourth grade daughter: We've reached out to two of her closest friends from school, and starting soon they'll begin working from home with one of our online tutors. The group will work with that tutor for either 2 or 3 hours per day, three days a week on core academic subjects: math, reading, and writing. If they have work sent home from school, they can also tackle that. The instructor will work very hard to keep lessons fun and engaging, incorporating games, contests, and humorous writing prompts. The social aspect of doing this with her friends will also help a lot.

The catalyst for this is my own need as a working parent whose world is in disarray, combined with a unique capability at the company that I’ve been running for the last 20 years. We've worked with 40,000 students since 1999, and since we launched online tutoring a decade ago we've delivered 16,000 online programs using our custom developed online tutoring platform. That amounts to almost a half million hours of online instruction. We're a leader in this field, and we're uniquely positioned to help with a need that my family, and perhaps yours, has for the rest of this school year and potentially into this summer.

If you are interested in learning more, you can get in line by registering here. The program is available to students in grades 1-6. There is no commitment until a member of our staff has talked through the details and confirmed that you’re ready to move forward.

We're all in this together, and we're happy to help if we can. Hang in there, and let us know any and all thoughts or feedback that you have!

All the best,

Online Tutors Available Now

An Expert Team of Carefully Selected Tutors

Subject Specific Expertise

Our experienced tutors have degrees (and often advanced degrees) from some of the country’s best colleges and universities.

Extensive Teaching/ Tutoring Experience

They’re experienced, passionate teachers, and they know how to engage students and break down difficult concepts.

Thoughtful/Flexible Teaching Styles

Being smart isn't enough - our tutors are able to listen well and communicate clearly, and they adapt their approach to fit your child.

You (and your family) are busy

Not only are you busy, but you’re home and juggling work, homeschooling or ensuring your kids are attending their school’s online classes, and generally trying to keep everyone on a schedule and engaged. We can help - whether you need a bit more structure added to your day, or a weekly supplemental lesson, this program can be catered to work to your needs. Here’s a bit more about the structure and benefits:

Lessons Are:

  • 2-3 hours long.
  • Consist of 1 tutor to 3 students.
  • Typically held 2-3 times weekly to add structure, or once per week if the need is specific subject support.
  • Tailored to your child's grade level (1-6) for core subjects.
  • Scheduled at times that are convenient for your group.

Program Benefits:

  • Extra structure for your child, and your entire family.
  • Support catered to your child's needs.
  • Includes dedicated support from a program manager who will manage your child's group program to ensure that we are doing everything we can to help you reach your goals.
  • Convenient, flexible renewal options (available monthly), hours purchased do not expire.

 

Happy, Successful Students

Typically, students spend 50% of their waking hours at school or doing homework; something that occupies such a large amount of time inevitably plays a big role in their happiness. Right now, things are different - with all their time being spent at home, yet a need and desire to still focus on schoolwork and learning, new challenges emerge. Staying engaged with learning and focused on schoolwork become the main goals, and also access to a support system of educators and peers.

Ultimately, the end goal of a StudyPoint tutoring program is improved performance in school, and that improvement is usually easily measurable - an A on a quiz, an outstanding test, or a report card grade worthy of the refrigerator door. In these times, while some of that could still apply depending on your specific situation, the reality is success will also be measured in different ways: enthusiasm to regularly work with friends and/or classmates on current schoolwork, and the reassurance that with additional support, students can be at, or close to, where they’d normally be at the end of what would have been the regular school year.

In our one-to-one academic tutoring, our greatest reward is the positive feedback we get from parents who report their children are now confident and happy in school. In this case, our greatest reward is the knowledge that we can help supplement and/or add structure in uncertain times.
