Tutor helping a learner with homework
Real tutors, real learners, real progress.

Sessions are live, interactive, and focused on what your learner is working on right now—tonight’s homework, next week’s quiz, or the big project that’s been hanging over your heads for weeks.

Tutors don’t just give answers—they coach learners through how to approach problems, how to stay organized, and how to feel more in control of school.
How academic tutoring works

Simple, structured, and flexible for busy families.

We keep the process straightforward so you can focus on results, not logistics.

1

Share your learner’s classes and goals.

Use our scheduling form or tutoring services shop to tell us about current grades, specific classes, and what “success” looks like for your family.

2

We match you with a subject-expert tutor.

An advisor reviews your information and recommends a tutor (or small team) who fits your learner’s personality, schedule, and subject needs.

3

Weekly sessions + ongoing progress check-ins.

Your tutor helps with homework, test prep, and projects while teaching stronger study strategies. We keep parents in the loop with regular updates.

Why families choose Ivy Bound

More than homework help—real academic coaching.

Subject-expert tutors Many Ivy Bound tutors have degrees in the subjects they teach, experience with honors/AP curricula, and a track record of raising grades.
Flexible scheduling Sessions can be once a week for simple homework support or multiple times per week for catch-up and intensive help before major tests.
Skills that last We focus on note-taking, planning, and test-taking strategies so learners carry these skills into the next grade and beyond.

What subjects do you offer academic tutoring in?

We cover reading, writing, and math at all grade levels, plus science, history, world languages, and many high school and college electives. Share the exact classes on your learner’s schedule and we’ll confirm tutor fit before you commit.

Is academic tutoring online, in person, or both?

Most learners work with us online for maximum flexibility and access to our full tutor team. In-person options may be available in select locations; let us know if local support is important and we’ll share what’s possible in your area.

How often should my learner meet with a tutor?

Many families start with 1–2 sessions per week in each key subject. We’ll recommend a schedule based on how far your learner is from their target grade, how many courses need support, and what fits realistically with your family’s routine.

Once you complete the scheduling form or talk with an advisor, we can usually match you with a tutor and begin sessions within a few days. If you have an urgent deadline or upcoming test, mention it so we can prioritize your family.
