MyGuru

We are a boutique provider of 1-1 tutoring and test prep with a core concept-led approach, meaning our objective is to help our students understand the fundamental concepts, not tips and tricks. All of our independently contracted tutors have many years of tutoring experience and impressive academic backgrounds. We require a minimum of three years of tutoring and/or teaching experience. All of our tutors have undergraduate degrees, and most have advanced degrees, from highly selective academic institutions. We also require standardized test scores in the 95th percentile at a minimum. We have a small but highly qualified team and one of our founders personally interviews each tutor. We believe that tutoring requires a different skill set than classroom teaching, and we know that simply understanding a given subject well doesn’t create a great tutor. We also stress the importance of mindset, strategy, confidence, effective study habits, and time management and organization skills in achieving superior performance in school and on standardized tests.
