How We Help Your First Grader (And You!)

Personalized Lesson Plans: Every child is unique, so we create lessons that focus on their individual strengths and areas that need a little extra help. This way, your child can learn at their own pace and get the support they need to succeed.

Progress Updates:
We make it easy for you to stay on top of your child’s progress by providing regular reports. You’ll be able to see how they’re improving and understand what the next steps are, so you always know where they stand.

Off-Peak Discounts for Homeschool Families:
We know that homeschooling schedules don’t always follow the traditional school hours. If you need tutoring during midday or at non-traditional times, we offer special discounts to fit your schedule and make it easier on your budget.

1st Grade Homeschool Special Pricing & Off-Peak Discounts

Homeschool schedules give you the flexibility to book lessons during weekday mornings or early afternoons - times when most students are in school. We take advantage of that flexibility by offering discounted rates for off-peak hours. This way, you save money while your child gets the focused one-on-one attention they need without the after-school rush.
