Our Tutors
There is a significant difference between knowing the material and being able to teach it. Our tutors are tested through live case-study questions to simulate actual tutoring questions and through this process, we determine the tutor’s true handle on the subject material, teaching style, communication skills and ability to think quickly on their feet.
