Tutoring, Test Prep and Executive-Function Coaching

Ages 7+

Kate matches each student with a tutor after a consultation, usually within a few hours and at most three days. Online sessions use Zoom, Google Meet or Teams with whiteboards; online-only sessions for grades 4 and up can be booked directly, and many tutors offer after-school hours and weekends. Semi-private groups are five students or fewer at a discount. Families pay a $35 registration fee and can leave at the end of any month; sessions cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice are charged in full. Rates are not published. The company also offers college and private-school admissions consulting and executive-function coaching.
