November 15, 2007 - Clearwater, FL -- If you are looking for a tutor, a newly expanded company is making it a lot easier, no matter where you live. With the help of hundreds of expert tutors across the country, Advanced Learners helps students struggling with any subject, at any level, all in the comfort of their own homes. Founded in 2002 as TutorSelect, their services were originally only available to students in Florida. As word spread, the business quickly added four new states and changed the name to better reflect its mission. Now, five years later, they provide academic assistance to students in all fifty states.
By completing a simple request form on the website, parents looking for academic help for their students, will promptly receive an email that includes the biographies, experience, and credentials of several local tutors matching their specific needs. All of the tutors are degreed, experienced, and thoroughly screened utilizing a nationwide background check by ABSO. Tutors are available to work with students in the morning, afternoon, or evening, any day of the week. Parents can choose to use a tutor for weekly on-going help, or just a few hours at a time for last minute test preparation or to complete a project. The amount of tutoring needed is up to the parent to decide, so there are no hidden charges or lengthy contracts to sign.
According to one of the company’s founders Amy Smith, “We strongly believe that the relationship between the student and tutor is just as important as the tutor’s qualifications, and we encourage parents to speak with as many tutors as they wish before making a final choice.” The complete service includes follow up from a courteous staff that works diligently to help each client to select the tutor who best meets their student’s individual needs.
Parents often find it difficult to find a good tutor when they need one. Mike DeMattia was looking for last minute SAT preparations for his daughter, a high school senior, who only had one more shot at getting the scores she needed to enroll at the University of Florida. “Gabby only had four weeks to prepare for the test and Advanced Learners not only had a great program, but an excellent tutor who was able to give her the help she needed to raise her scores.”
“There has been a lot of media coverage about new online tutoring companies and the quick response kids get when they need help,” says Victoria Kearney, the company’s Director of Tutoring Services. She adds “We believe that tutoring is more personal than that. Parents who call us are looking for a tutor that they can trust and count on to be there for every session…to really make sure that their child understands the material…not just getting the answers one night on a difficult homework assignment. Our company builds relationships with our clients; they know that we work hard to match the right tutor with their child whenever they need one. We have families that use one tutor at home for an elementary child and then call us for a calculus tutor for their oldest child who is away at college. And we can do that. We even work with schools to bring tutors on campus to help struggling students find success.”
By eliminating the hassle of validating a tutor’s experience, alleviating security concerns with thorough tutor background checks, and conveniently sending the tutors directly to a client’s home, Advanced Learners has found a way to simplify the once daunting task of finding the perfect tutor.
