Eliminate distractions
One-on-one tutoring at Dogwood Tutoring allows your child to work in a private, comfortable, and professional setting.

Allow a perfect tutor match
We’ll help you select a tutor whose background and personality suit your child. We guarantee you’ll be pleased with this tutor match, or we will credit you for the first session and arrange for your student to work with another tutor.

Allow your child to focus on specific areas
Classroom teachers are constrained by time and pacing for subject coverage; they have to ‘teach to the middle’ of the group. The goal at Dogwood Tutoring is to tutor a student only in areas where they need attention, which maximizes cost effectiveness and maintains student motivation.

Provide confidence and self-esteem
Confidence is an extremely important factor when learning any new subject. The more confident students feel in a course of study, the more creative their thought processes become. This means they will be able to grasp complicated concepts much more easily, and to connect these concepts to other areas of their curriculum.

Encourage enthusiasm
Dogwood’s tutors are passionate about the subjects that they teach. Your student may very well develop an interest and fascination for a subject, because not only are they being taught the basics, but they are also working with someone who can illustrate the practical and advanced uses of a concept.

Remediate, and then build towards academic success
Some students have missed key foundational concepts in the classroom that can hold them back from understanding more advanced concepts. Almost every subject builds on the foundation of concepts that come before. A poor understanding of algebraic concepts, for instance, will create problems for any geometry student. Dogwood’s tutors excel at identifying areas that need work, and bringing a student back up to speed. At that point, students begin to pre-learn upcoming topics, giving them a proven advantage over their classmates.

Give students a forum to ask questions
Many children feel self-conscious about asking questions in class. Students are always more comfortable with a mentor figure in a private setting, making it more likely that they will ask insightful questions and receive meaningful answers.

Save students – and parents – time and effort
Dogwood’s tutors are able to cover a lot of detail in a short amount of time. They work at your student’s pace and capacity for learning, utilizing effective methods to explain advanced concepts. Every student is different, but our tutors are able to quickly identify and adapt to your child’s individual needs and capabilities.

Create better grades in school, and higher scores on standardized tests
A private tutor can provide the instruction that your child needs to supplement classroom learning and preparation for standardized tests. Dogwood students consistently demonstrate grade and score increases that can only be called incredible!

Open doors to high achievement
Dogwood Tutoring promotes new possibilities by helping students raise test scores and grades. Most importantly, we provide students with the skills and strategies they need to feel more confident inside and outside the classroom.
