Life happens, we get it! Just give us at least 24 hours’ notice, and you can rebook using our drop-in link.

9 / Who are your tutors, anyway?
Certified teachers, university students, and high-achieving high school grads who want to help you succeed.
10 / What if I’m doing okay in school — should I still get a tutor?
Totally. Many of our students already have decent marks but want to stay ahead, prep for exams, or boost their confidence. A tutor isn’t just for when you’re struggling, it’s for leveling up.
