The fact that we often turn away potential teachers that have experience working with other well known tutoring organizations says it all. Our hiring standards are the highest in the industry, resulting in the strongest staff of teachers, coaches, and counselors available. Furthermore, every teacher must take a series of extensive, formal assessments as well as undergo rigorous training along with a period of shadowing lead instructors prior to working with students. We are extremely proud of our excellent staff of teachers.
We build our custom coursework on a case by case basis, all services can be modified as needed. Ask our Academic Director for more information during your free consultation.
Since our approach to each student is unique, the length of time students spend with Peak varies considerably. The time required to reach your academic goals also depends on which services are chosen and how they are utilized. After the free initial consultation, we will be better able to give you an idea of both what supports we recommend and how much time it may take to reach your goals.
From a broader perspective, we are a trusted partner that parents and students can turn to for guidance and math support throughout their academic careers. Relationships that begin in elementary school with reading support may transition to academic coaching later on, then to test prep and college counseling as graduation nears, and then on to content support for that tough college chemistry course. We are here for our students and families every step of the way, from kindergarten to bachelor’s and beyond.
Peak meetings are typically scheduled for 90 minutes, though there are times when meetings can be scheduled for more or less time. Typically, we start students off with 2 meetings per week; however, students sometimes require more intensive help resulting in more frequent meetings. As example, secondary students that join Peak in the middle of a semester with a low C or lower in one or more classes may require 3 meetings per week at first in order to get caught up. As students progress and improve, the weekly frequency of meetings is reduced until, ultimately, no further meetings are needed. We offer a significant discount in rates for families that are receiving three or more hours of support per week.
We provide our other services in the manner that’s most convenient for you. Most families choose to meet virtually. However, a teacher or coach can come to your home or other requested location as well (this typically involves an additional cost). Our services are also available online. Provided through Google and utilizing live audio AND live video, your child can meet face to face with one of our teachers in real time and without the commute! For online tutoring, a parent doesn’t even have to be home for sessions to take place. While you’re finishing work for the day, your child can be at home working one-on-one with one of our teachers. Or, you can mix these services together as needed, choosing to meet in person for some meetings, and online for others. It’s simply a matter of which options are most convenient for you.
