Four one-on-one sessions with a certified special education teacher — and a personalized learning plan built around how your child learns. $99 total.
“I feared that online tutoring would be ineffective... however, our skilled tutor found a way to ensure the kids are focused and engaged throughout the sessions.”— tinuke aruwayo · Public client review, June 2024
By the time most parents find us, their child is behind and homework has become a fight. The frustration builds. The tears start. Eventually, a child who used to try begins saying, “I can't do it.”
Twelve years of doing this has taught us that the problem is almost never the child. Nobody has figured out how that child learns and taught them that way. That's what we do. It starts with a plan.
Anyone can sell you a block of tutoring hours. We start by finding out what your child needs and how they learn.
For $99 total, your child gets four private, 30-minute sessions with a certified special education teacher. We match from our team of about 40 teachers based on age, subject, challenges, and personality. At the end, you get a written plan for what to do next.
There is no contract and nothing renews. If the fit isn't right, you still keep everything the teacher documented.
Five steps, usually completed in about ten days from start to finish.
After signup, choose a time that works for you. Kara from Student Success confirms by text. The call covers your child's history and challenges, but just as much time goes to interests and strengths. Those details help the teacher make the first session feel familiar.
We match your child with a teacher whose experience fits their age, subject, challenges, and personality. The match usually takes about 48 hours after the deep-dive call.
Before your child logs on, you and the teacher have a 30-minute call. You can ask questions, share goals, and make sure the teacher understands what matters to your family.
The teacher looks at how your child learns, which foundational skills are missing, and what is most likely to move them forward.
After the sessions, the teacher walks you through the written plan and answers your questions. Whatever you decide next, the plan is yours.
Timing: The whole process averages about 10 days start to finish — a little faster in summer.
The teacher watches how your child takes in information, responds to different explanations, and stays engaged. The material should fit the child, not the other way around.
Today's struggle often traces back to an earlier skill that never clicked. The teacher identifies those gaps, including executive-function barriers that can make any multi-step task feel impossible.
Your plan records the teacher's recommended schedule and the methods, tools, and resources most likely to help your child. It is specific to the four sessions they just completed.
The final document turns what the teacher learned into clear next steps. Keep it for tutoring, homeschool planning, or your next IEP conversation.
After enough struggle, many kids stop expecting themselves to succeed. No teaching strategy works well until that belief begins to move.
So the teacher works on two things at once: the missing skills and the confidence to use them. When a child starts saying “I can do this” again, progress gets room to grow.
Our son has ASD, muscular dystrophy, ADHD, and other challenges. We've lived the late-night searching, the IEP meetings, and the worry that comes with trying to find the right support. We bring that perspective to every family we serve.
— Luke & Suzie Dalien, founders
Families who continue keep working with the same teacher on the schedule recommended in their plan. Sessions stay on the same days and times so the child gets consistency.
That schedule is not a contract. You can start, pause, or stop at any time. If you stop after the introductory program, the written plan and every documented finding are still yours.
In twelve years, our matching process has gotten it right about 99 times out of 100 — because of all the work we do up front. If it's ever not right, we restart with a new teacher at no cost. And the teacher never changes on your child unless you're the one driving it.
The $99 is one-time. If you stop after the intro program, you walk away with the full plan and everything your child's teacher documented — the learning-style findings, the skill gaps, the recommendations. It's useful in IEP meetings, in homeschool planning, with any tutor. Ours or not.

No — $99 one-time, total. That's the whole introductory program: the deep-dive call, the teacher match, your parent-teacher call, all four sessions, and the plan review. It's not a subscription and nothing renews.
Immediately. The moment your payment processes, you book your deep-dive call — right then, on the next page, any time that works for you. About 48 hours after that call, we have your child's teacher selected. The whole intro process averages about 10 days, sometimes as fast as a week — faster in summer.
That's exactly why we don't start with sessions — we start with the plan. Most tutoring fails because it re-teaches grade-level material the same way school did, just slower. We start by figuring out how your child learns and which earlier skills are missing, then teach that, that way. Different starting point, different result.
We hear this on almost every call — and it's the thing parents are most surprised by. Kids see in-person tutors as an extension of school; that's why the resistance. But for every child there's something that holds their attention — usually with a screen involved. Because we learn your child's interests before session one, the first session is designed to be something they enjoy. By session two, most kids are asking when they get to see their teacher again.
Every one is a certified special education teacher with real classroom experience — we don't hire teachers who just graduated college. Many still teach and do this on nights and weekends because it's one-on-one work they can't get in a classroom of thirty.
In twelve years, the match works about 99 times out of 100, because of the front-end work. If it's ever not right, we restart with a new teacher at no cost — and nothing changes for your child unless you're the one asking for it.
In the beginning, probably — at least within earshot, and you'll want to see how it works anyway. But the goal is independence. Kids need to feel they accomplished something on their own; that's where the confidence comes from.
Most families invest about $70–$100 per week, based on the schedule your child's teacher recommends in the plan. Discounted rates come with scheduled weekly consistency. No contracts — everything stays week to week.
Yes. We're an approved vendor for Arizona ESA (ClassWallet), Florida Step Up, West Virginia Hope, and Wyoming ESA — the introductory program and ongoing sessions can both be covered, and we handle the documentation. Scholarship payments run through your program's platform instead of the card checkout, so start from your state's page — or ask Sage and we'll walk you through it. Heads up: program processing adds a little time up front; paying the $99 directly is always the fastest way to start.
Pre-K through high school (and adult learners), across reading, math, writing, executive function, and study skills — public school, private school, online charter, or homeschool. If you're not sure your situation fits, ask Sage or book a free call and we'll tell you honestly.
No. We go through the plan together, see what you think, and figure out a direction from there. Plenty of families take it and think it over. The plan is yours either way.
Four sessions with a certified special education teacher. A plan built around how your child learns. $99 one time, and you keep everything.
