Behind Parker River Tutoring

OUR APPROACH

We are a tutoring agency founded and run by tutors and teachers.

When a student is having trouble in a subject area, attending class becomes an anxiety-provoking experience.

The tutors and teachers at Parker River Tutoring can help. We will tailor a plan for your student’s specific needs help them meet their academic goals while boosting their confidence and reducing anxiety-provoking experiences.

Subject areas include math, science, ELA, and history. See services for our full offering.

The Parker River Tutoring group session can be the ideal solution when students just need a refresher or are preparing for SATs or similar tests before the new school year begins. Our tutors and teachers teach in a collaborative setting with peers to provide your student with personalized attention, but they also have the benefit of a network when studying outside of a session.

Group sessions and boot camps available for SAT/ ACT/ MTEL prep, Algebra, study skills, and more. See Group Programs for our full offering.

You are busy. Your student is busy. Life is busy. We get it!
