Tutors are not teachers. Tutors are not parents. Chandler-Gilbert Community College defined a tutor as, “A one-to-one or small group activity where a person who is knowledgeable and has expertise in a specific content area or discipline provides tutelage, help, or clarification to one or more who do not”. The aim of tutoring is to aid students to become independent learners and increase their motivation to learn.
Yes, because we take education and safety seriously! East Florida Educational Services screens prospective tutors to ensure we enlist well-qualified professionals who are passionate about teaching one or more of our subject areas.

As an additional method of quality control, our administrative Web team routinely monitors tutoring sessions.

As for a guarantee, we cannot make any promises or assurances about score increases. We feel we offer extremely high-quality preparation, but there are still many factors beyond our control. For example, we cannot require you to study on your own outside of your tutoring sessions, but we feel that is essential to improving your score. We also cannot control whether students will face performance-inhibiting factors such as test anxiety, illness, or test center distractions.
