How It Works
Personalized Tutoring with a Simple & Transparent Process
At Thrive Tutoring, we believe that accessing high-quality academic support should be simple, flexible, and completely stress-free. Whether your child needs help catching up in a challenging subject, test prep to boost their confidence and scores, executive functioning coaching to improve organization and study skills, or enrichment tutoring to stay ahead, we make the process effortless from start to finish.
Our personalized, one-on-one approach ensures that every student is matched with an expert tutor who fits their unique needs, learning style, and personality. There are no hidden fees, no long-term contracts, and no complicated enrollment processes—just high-impact tutoring tailored to your family’s schedule. We offer flexible scheduling options, pay-as-you-go sessions, and pre-paid packages for structured learning, so you can choose what works best. At Thrive, we take the guesswork out of tutoring, giving students the targeted support they need to succeed—on their terms.
1. Free Consultation – Understanding Your Child’s Needs
Every student is different, so we start with a free consultation to understand your goals, challenges, and preferences. We’ll ask about:
- Your child’s schooling journey to date
- Subject(s) of focus
- Learning style and interests
- Short- and long-term goals
- Teacher fit preferences
- Scheduling and availability requests
Consultations take place over the phone, in-person, or on Google Meet/Zoom depending on the situation and family preference.
2. Tutor Matching – Finding the Right Fit
We carefully match each student with a pedagogical expert who fits their personality, learning style, and academic goals. Our tutors are:
- Highly qualified and fully vetted educators
- Experienced in their content area
- Engaging and committed to student success
Want to try a different tutor? No problem—we’ll adjust the match as needed to ensure the best learning experience.
3. Connecting for the First Time
Once we have sourced our team, we will email you with a tutor bio or two (or three!) to consider for your child. You’ll have the chance to review their background and make a decision on who to work with. From there, we will connect you via email with the tutor to take it away with scheduling the first session.
4. Flexible Tutoring – On Your Schedule
We know family life is busy, so we offer:
- No long-term contracts.
- Availability 7 days a week with morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend options.
- Easy scheduling: Schedule directly with your tutor.
5. Ongoing Support & Communication
We don’t just match you with a tutor—we stay connected to ensure progress and success.
- Tutors provide regular progress updates on student growth and submit a lesson report after each lesson.
- Tutors are eager for ongoing parent and teacher communication to ensure all parties are working together for student success.
- Need more/less support? We tweak the schedule or approach as needed.

Since we don’t have long-term contracts with our families, it is critical that our tutors have a cancellation policy that protects the time they carved out for your child’s session. For example, if you have a session at 5pm on Tuesday, please cancel before 5pm on Monday. Families are charged in full for cancellations within 24 hours.
