Academic Tutoring
Building understanding, not dependence.
Our Work
Our tutoring emphasizes structural understanding over rote memorization. We don't just help students complete assignments—we help them understand why concepts work the way they do.
This approach stems from a frustration with how subjects are often taught: procedures without explanation, formulas without derivation, rules without reasons. Students memorize enough to pass tests but never develop genuine comprehension.
We work differently. Whether the subject is calculus or composition, we teach the underlying structure that makes everything else make sense.
Our Results
Students who work with us don't just improve their grades—they develop confidence in their ability to learn independently. Many report that our sessions changed how they approach unfamiliar material across all subjects.
We measure success not by whether students need ongoing help, but by whether they eventually don't.

"I highly recommend the English tutoring service provided by Andre and team. My son really enjoys the English tutoring courses with Ms Elisabeth over the past year. He has learned a lot about English literature and grammar, which has been very beneficial. We are so happy about this tutoring experience."
"Andre is a very gifted writer and tutor. Andre has helped my son with English and writing throughout high school and most recently with his college essays. My son is very intelligent but has a learning disability and the writing process was often arduous and time consuming for him. Andre helped him develop outlines and identify material. The time spent with him was always very productive and my son would leave with a road map to finish his assignment."
"Andre has been both of my children's English tutor for the past two years. Whether it is for the SAT or for the literary analyses for English Pre-AP and AP, Andre has provided extremely effective help. Andre is enthusiastic about teaching, and is fully prepared for each class. He always uses class time effectively to address and answer students' questions, and he also communicates with parents on time after each class so the parents can understand the students' learning progress."
"Andre has been not only an amazing tutor, but also a wonderful friend to my son. He works hard to explain topics in ways that are more interesting and intuitive than how they are taught in school."
