We know that every student is unique and that each student may have different needs when it comes to tutoring. Our Portland in-person tutoring typically takes place in a student’s home – we also call this ‘In-home Tutoring’.
We do not maintain a physical PDX tutoring location. Frankly, offices are expensive and most of our students prefer meeting in-home or in a public space anyway, so we’ve ditched the office and put money back into your pocket.
In-person tutoring sessions happen in one of two places:
Our in-home tutors work and live across Portland. So when we match the student with a tutor, we consider proximity to the student’s home. That way, the tutor doesn’t have to drive across the city in traffic and the student enjoys the convenience of an in-home tutoring session.
Perhaps your home isn’t an ideal location because you live farther outside the city or it doesn’t offer a quiet space with few distractions. In-person tutoring doesn’t have to happen in the home.
Instead, tutors and students can choose a mutually convenient location, such as a cafe or library, to meet regularly.

There is no black-and-white answer. Each student learns differently and may have different preferences.
We typically recommend that younger students or students struggling with executive functions opt for our in-person tutoring services as opposed to our online options.
Modern technology has made it possible for students to enjoy highly effective virtual tutoring. However, there is no substitute for the quality connections of meeting in person.

First, we talk about where you are, where you want to be, and what it will take to get there. Together, we’ll design a plan for your learning, setting goals and timeline targets. At each meeting, we will begin by evaluating your understanding, reviewing goals and making adjustments as needed. Then we work on what you have prepared for our session, usually the most challenging problems or assignments that you could not complete alone.
Traditional one-on-one tutoring allows for the most individualized support. Small group tutoring balances that support with more peer-to-peer engagement. Students can teach each other a lot about a subject when given the space and tools to do so. Reach out today to learn more.
