Advantages of In-Person Tutoring

  • Not Contingent on Access to Technology: Outdated devices or poor internet connections will not hinder the efficiency of in-person sessions.

  • Lessons in Managing Distractions: Sessions held at the kitchen counter or at a cafe provide opportunities for students to learn how to work in busy environments without being distracted.

  • Varied Methodologies: In-person lessons allow for the use of various teaching/learning strategies that are not possible online, such as completing a tangible project.

  • Close Monitoring: The close proximity of the instructor allows for efficient monitoring of the students’ work, so mistakes are caught and corrected quickly.

  • Nonverbal Cues: In-person interactions allows the instructor to more easily analyze nonverbal cues that indicate that the student is confused, frustrated, or distracted.

  • Deeper Personal Connections: Instructors who are able to interact with the students and families in person tend to develop closer bonds.

FAQs

What kind of training do your instructors have?
All WorldWise tutors are enrolled in or have completed college. Many also have Masters and PhDs. They all have years of experience teaching students of the ages and in the subjects, they specialize in. WorldWise tutors have also been taught the methodologies of Founder and CEO, Lindsey Wander. Before choosing a tutor, you will be provided with their bios detailing their education, experience, and training.

What age groups do you work with?
WorldWise Tutoring works with students of all ages and abilities. We have had students from ages 2 to 50.

What kind of improvement have you seen in past clients?
Just as each child is unique, so are their experiences. We have had students improve their reading scores by 50-75 percentile after just one session. We have also had some students who require the re-teaching of executive functioning skills every few weeks. Whatever the case, we do see the most improvement in students who also complete the personalized independent work we provide as an extension to the tutoring lesson.

Do you have experience working with different learning styles?
WorldWise Tutoring works with students of all abilities. Our instructors have experience helping students with various Learning Difficulties, including ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, Dysgraphia, Executive Functioning, Visual Processing, Auditory Processing, and Autism. We also have experience helping students with anxiety and depression. Some of our instructors are trained in Special Education.

Are your instructor’s backgrounds checked?
Yes! WorldWise Tutoring’s instructors are all background checked by Accutrak, the company used by many schools for their staff.

Where do the sessions take place?
WorldWise Tutoring instructors meet at locations convenient for the student and his/her family. This will all be arranged at the initial consultation and can be adjusted as needed.

What is your availability?
WorldWise Tutoring instructors meet at days and times convenient for the student. This will all be arranged at the initial consultation and can be adjusted as needed.

What are your prices?
WorldWise Tutoring’s prices depend on the grade level of the student and whether the sessions are 1-on-1 or small groups. Small groups of younger children are the least expensive per child. For instance, a group of seven Pre-K students costs $12/hr/student. On the other hand, 1-on-1 with older students is more expensive. For example, a private session with a college student can cost up to $110/hr. The specific price for your request will be provided during the initial consultation. 

Reviews

“My daughter did very well on the SAT and got into her first-choice college: UCLA. She couldn’t have been happier–happy kid, happy mom!”

Pam Brick

“She gave her perfect instruction and the right amount of work each week to make progress.”

Colleen Grogan

“He has made great strides from the first session and really feels that she has a great teaching style. She is knowledgeable in her field and works well with teens, which is not always easy!!!”

Camille Durham

“We hired her to tutor my 8th grade son in math and we received a lot more than we requested. She not only tutored him in math but made sure all his homework was understood and completed. This includes Science, English, Social Studies and Spanish. She worked with him to build trust and respect so he was able to discuss with her where he was having difficulty. She gave us a lot of helpful information regarding the CPS Selective enrollment, Catholic and Private high school application process.”
