Compass specializes in online and in-person tutoring across a wide range of academic subjects. From middle school, through high school, and into college, our tutoring can help students stay on pace and get ahead.
Compass has a deep and talented team of subject-specific experts ready to begin custom programs that complement your coursework. Many of our tutors have advanced degrees in the subjects that students struggle with the most.
Academic tutoring begins with an assessment of your needs. Our tutors can follow along with the curriculum provided by the teacher or professor but they can also provide supplemental work to shore up concepts learned in the classroom.
Our one-on-one academic tutors provide individualized instruction, attention, and support with subject content. Academic programs are very flexible, with pay-as-you-go and package options.

Study Skills and Organizational Coaching (SSOC)
Now more than ever, students are being called upon to take responsibility for their own learning experience. Compass’s Study Skills and Organizational Coaching is designed to help students develop the study, time management, and organizational skills to help them stay on track.
Where academic tutoring is focused on helping students learn material that is being taught in class, SSOC is focused on helping students apply systems like the Pomodoro System of Time Management or the Cornell Note-Taking Method. A Compass-trained SSOC tutor will work with your student to develop a system of studying and organization that works for your student: no more missed deadlines, last-minute cram sessions, or wasted time searching through unintelligible notes. This program goes beyond just monitoring schoolwork: our goal is to equip students with skills they can take with them to college and beyond.
Compass focuses on customized, one-on-one tutoring. We take the time to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, then make personalized recommendations. Your college goals, your learning style, your schedule, even your extracurricular interests—we take all of this into account in matching you with the ideal instructors. Read more about our approach.
We always look forward to sharing our expertise, either in a conversation or in our free College Admission Testing Guide.
