Difference

The Learn To Be Difference

Our tutoring support is not time limited; we provide tutoring for as long as it takes for students to meet their goals.
Sessions are 1-on-1, not in groups. Studies show that tutoring works best when it is provided in a private session.
Sessions are always live, not pre-recorded, and take place in an online classroom with real-time interactions.
Our students work with the same tutor each week. We believe that consistent, positive relationships have the power to change lives!
The typical tutor/student connections last approximately six months and usually meet 4-8 times each month.
