Insight’s one-on-one tutoring program, Academic Insight, offers support in both Academic Subjects & Standardized Test Prep as students pursue GPA and test score improvement. At Insight, improving grades or test scores involves more than simply understanding the material. With expert tutors who have mastered their subject area(s), along with thoroughly researched and well-executed curricula, our one-on-one tutoring sessions focus on teaching and encouraging students to have greater self-confidence, increased motivation, and an understanding of how to apply more effective study skills, in addition to enhancing and solidifying their conceptual and content knowledge.
Our instructors customize their lessons to the needs of every individual student. Students can meet with their tutors for as many or as few hours as they need. We know just how busy our families are, so our tutors work around students’ schedules and all sessions take place in one of our conveniently located centers.
