2023 Tutor Agency Reviews

School Tutoring Academy

• About $199/month, but cost depends on learning assessment, chosen subject, and/or program

School Tutoring Academy provides tutoring services throughout the United States as well as many areas of Canada. Their programs are for students from preschool all the way through college. Students can also get help studying for tests like the PSAT, ACT, and SAT.

Trial Assessment Required

To begin using their services, a trial assessment with School Tutoring Academy is required, which identifies a student's strengths and weaknesses to get an overall idea of their learning level.

Broad List Of Tutoring Subjects

School Tutoring Academy offers tutoring for students of all grade levels. The broad list of subjects and programs available for students include:

• Math (algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, trigonometry, geometry, etc.)
• Science (chemistry, biology, earth science, physics, biochemistry, etc.)
• English (essay writing, grammar, proofreading, vocabulary, etc.)
• Reading
• Writing
• Spanish (conjugation, culture, pronunciation, history, alphabet, etc.)
• French (conjugation, culture, history, alphabet, pronunciation, etc.)
• ESL (English skill coaching, college test prep, conversation, etc.)
• Dyslexia
• ADD/ADHD (focus on specific academic skills, engage interests, etc.)

What It Looks Like

There is no physical facility that School Tutoring Academy works out of with tutors. Rather, tutors will either come to your home or assist online, depending on the method that best fits your learning style. In-home tutors live in your local area and are chosen based on the assessment that a student is required to take. This helps them identify the best tutor for the student. A video on School Tutoring Academy's website shows what their online teaching platform looks like, which is a robust chat system and whiteboard to view reading material, see math concepts broken down, or video chat with the tutor.

Quality Tutors

Many of the tutors at School Tutoring Academy scored in the 90th percentile or higher on standardized tests. They are all college graduates, many with degrees from top schools. Their credentials qualify them to coach students in a way that surpasses what you will typically find in your local neighborhood. In addition to a top-notch tutor, students are also paired with an academic director that creates their comprehensive learning plan. With lessons come progress reports, so that students and parents can see improvements.

Pricing Requires A Personalized Quote

The price of tutoring is a bit unclear because you'll need to get a personalized quote. To do this, School Tutoring Academy provides a phone number for you to call and discuss your tutoring needs. They advertise that their "flagship" tutoring program is twice a week and comes out to about $25/hour or $199/month.

Cost Concerns

We wish that School Tutoring Academy was more transparent with their pricing. It makes us concerned that people pay all sorts of different prices based on their skill levels, when most competing tutoring companies just have everyone pay the same price regardless of subject or assessment scores.

See If It Fits

School Tutoring Academy has an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, but there isn't much feedback outside of their website from parents and students about their experience here. The lack of straightforward pricing and potential for a lack of in-home tutors are our main concerns. However, we really like that School Tutoring Academy works for students from preschool through college with many areas of focus, test prep, and learning impairments. This isn't our first choice for tutors, but if they have a program that fits the needs of you or your family, it may be worth taking the assessment and talking with one of their directors for more information.
