Home School

Home School has become increasingly popular as more families discover the benefits and flexibility it offers students of all ages. Whether you choose home school to accommodate student careers, learning styles, or family needs, our home school tutors offer engaging education and expert guidance. Call us and speak to a credentialed teacher about how we can help you create an outstanding home school experience.

Support for Different Learning Styles and Schedules
Every student learns differently, and home school provides a special opportunity to accommodate a child’s unique needs. Many families prefer home schooling for this individualized attention that means students aren't overlooked or lost in a sea of faces. Our home school tutors can tailor lessons to meet students' individual needs. The one-on-one nature of home school instruction means that fewer hours are needed and learning is condensed into an average of three to four hours a day. This makes it a great fit for students who struggle with attention deficit disorder. The individual attention of a home school tutor works well for students with social anxiety or autism spectrum disorders. We have a range of tutors who can work with parents to create the learning experience each child needs.

Our staff and tutors are experienced in providing support to child actors, child athletes, or other students whose careers make a traditional school schedule unworkable. Talk to us about how we can help your student pursue their dreams without falling behind academically.

Choosing the Right Tutor for You
Only in home schooling does a parent get to choose their child’s teacher. It’s a priceless opportunity to select the perfect match for your child’s temperament, learning style, interests, and academic level. Many parents choose to provide instruction themselves, but bring in a tutor for specialized subjects like advanced math, science, or languages. Other families find success when a tutor steps in as a full-time academic manager, providing structure, guidance, and accountability as the student completes coursework.

Whatever you’re looking for, we can help you find the right home school tutor. After an extensive intake process that helps us understand the child’s needs and parents’ preferences, we carefully match you with the right tutor. We’ll check in frequently to make sure you are happy with the tutor and that the tutoring relationship is successful. We are flexible with families’ changing needs, and are happy to work to make sure your child has exceptional support for their home school experience.

Courses for Credit
1 on 1 Academic Tutors partners with Laurel Springs School to provide a fully accredited distance learning curriculum, complete with transcripts and grades if desired. These accredited courses make it easier for students to transfer into schools or colleges should they decide to transition out of home school in the future. Our home school tutors work with classic literature, textbooks, online resources, and arts materials to engage students with a variety of media and project-based experiences that keep them interested and excited about learning. We can also help students connect with local home school groups so they continue to benefit from the social aspect of education.

For families that have already chosen a curriculum or are working through a school-district-approved program, our tutors will work with your chosen materials. Here in our office, a credentialed teacher can provide advice about choosing a curriculum and planning for benchmarks to observe your student’s progress.
