Our approach is to be as flexible as possible. We recommend coordinating sessions directly with tutors on a week-to-week basis, advocating for proactive and consistent communication to ensure that student needs are met, while at the same time accommodating changing and busy schedules. If you have a consistent timeframe in mind, we are happy to coordinate that also.

We’d be able to meet with you in person wherever you’d like, whether it be a library, your home, a local coffee shop, or online through our digital whiteboard, where we annotate documents and dialogue with students in real-time, just like in person.

Yes! We are most available to tutor over the summer and have tutored students with a variety of goals, including students seeking accelerated studies to progress to their next level math class, students seeking remediation to get back on track with proficiency, and students who are dedicated to completing as much SAT/ACT test prep as possible.

We value the time and dedication of both our tutors and clients.

In such cases, the client will be charged for half of the session fee. This policy acknowledges the effort made by our tutors in preparing for the session and ensures a fair compensation for their time. Exceptions: Emergencies We understand that emergencies can occur, and we will evaluate each case on an individual basis. If a cancellation is due to an unforeseen emergency, we may waive the cancellation fee. Clients are asked to inform us about the emergency as soon as possible.

Spanish 1 through AP Spanish We are also versed in teaching students fundamental academic habits like organization, time management, and how to study, all while providing mentoring and general homework help.

Because of the dynamic nature of tutoring, each session is customized to meet your specific needs for that meeting. The best way to get an idea of what tutoring sessions will be like is to try us out by signing up for a trial session through filling out our inquiry form. Generally, a typical session usually begins with a review of the homework assigned in the previous lesson, before moving on to modeling of new techniques and problem types by the tutor. The student is then expected to apply the new techniques to questions with the help of the tutor and to gain further practice through the completion of problem sets assigned for homework as necessary.

We use a variety of materials in tutoring sessions. For standardized tests there is a strong focus on using actual problems from previous exams that have been released by the test makers. Your tutor will work with you to determine which materials are most appropriate for your situation at the trial session and will provide additional materials as needed throughout your tutoring program, though for subject specific tutoring we recommend leveraging the resources made available to students from their teacher and school.

Yes! Group tutoring is available for a discounted rate. Let us know who you want to work with and we can coordinate to make it happen.

At Flatirons Tutoring, we build confidence by personalizing learning, celebrating progress, and fostering a growth mindset. We break down challenges into manageable steps, celebrating small wins, and creating a supportive environment where mistakes are learning opportunities. By teaching effective study strategies and connecting lessons to relevant experiences, we help students develop the skills and self-belief to tackle any challenge. Confidence isn’t just about knowing the answers—it’s about believing in their ability to find them.

We monitor progress closely through regular formative assessments in the form of in-session questioning, check-ins, practice problems, and ongoing assessments (as requested). After each session, we evaluate the student's understanding and skills, tracking improvements over time. We provide feedback on specific areas of growth, as well as areas that may need more attention, ensuring that our approach is always tailored to the student’s evolving needs. We also involve students and parents in the process, happily sharing progress reports and discussing next steps to ensure continuous improvement and confidence-building as the student prepares for their goals.

The most efficient way we are able to identify student performance is through regularly conducting in-session formative assessments. This often comes in the form of Socratic questioning that prompts students to verbalize their problem solving process, highlighting their thinking progression and informing tutors of areas that require focus and structured support. Through this, we then implement strategies real time in sessions to address those specific needs. We can also conduct more formal diagnostic assessments through administering standardized exams and logging responses to identity patterns in the data, though that takes more time and is not always as helpful as getting right into the work of assessing student work in real time through questioning.

We have a rigorous selection process when selecting our tutors. Generally we only bring on team members meet the following minimum requirements: Demonstrated mastery of fundamental concepts in subjects tutored in. Graduate or students of a highly selective college or university. Minimum of 2 years teaching and/or tutoring experience. No criminal history, verified by an official background check. Our team has been tutoring in various subjects at all levels for several years. We are comprised of licensed teachers, content experts, and many other highly qualified educators.

Our goal is to ensure that you will be able to work with a single tutor that specializes in your instructional needs for the duration of your tutoring program. While you may choose to vary the days and times of your lessons each week, your meeting location, expected schedule, and academic needs are the most important factors in the matching process. Additionally, since students and tutors spend a great deal of time together, it is very important that they get along! In addition to being great instructors, our tutors are an exceptionally well-rounded group of individuals with a diverse set of backgrounds and interests. We do our best to pair each student with a tutor who shares their interests and has a teaching style that is right for them. We do our best to accommodate requests if the requested tutor is available and is the right fit for your situation.

We are locally based and pride ourselves on being accommodating, relationship driven, and excellent. Whatever parameters you set for your optimal tutoring scenario, we work to make it happen. We want to know your academic needs so we can best invest our efforts to help you meet your goals, whatever they may be.

Due to our careful matching process, we rarely receive requests from students to switch tutors. However, students are permitted to request a new tutor tutor for any reason.

Yes, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students. All of our tutors undergo thorough background checks as part of our hiring process.
