How is BetterGradez different from other tutoring centers?

At BetterGradez, we offer personalized coaching that goes beyond traditional tutoring. Here’s what makes us stand out:

• 1:1 Coach-Student Ratio: Each student is paired with a dedicated coach, ensuring they receive individual attention focused on both academic progress and personal growth.

• Full Parent Collaboration: We keep parents involved and informed with regular updates and progress reports, ensuring they’re a key part of their child’s holistic growth and academic success.

• Smart Use of Technology: Our coaches leverage technology in meaningful ways to enhance the learning experience, from interactive tools to seamless video conferencing, ensuring a dynamic, engaging, and productive learning environment.

What subjects do you offer coaching in?

We offer coaching in a wide range of subjects, including:

• Math (all levels)

• English Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Grammar)

• Test preparation (SAT, ACT, etc.)

How does the coaching process work?

We start with a free consultation to understand your child’s academic needs and learning style. Based on that, we match them with a coach who best fits their requirements. Coaching sessions are scheduled at convenient times and conducted online through our secure platform.

Is online learning right for my child?

Online learning has proven to be highly effective for many students. Studies have shown that online education can be as effective as traditional in-person learning, particularly when it comes to 1:1 tutoring. According to a meta-analysis conducted by the U.S. Department of Education, students in online learning environments performed better, on average, than those receiving face-to-face instruction. The flexibility, convenience, and personalized approach of online learning make it an excellent option for many students, especially those who thrive in a one-on-one setting.

How is our approach with the same coach throughout better than other centers where tutors change frequently?

Consistency is key in education. When students work with the same teacher consistently, they build a trusting relationship that fosters a deeper understanding of the student’s learning style, strengths, and areas for improvement. This continuity allows coaches to tailor their teaching methods to the student's evolving needs, resulting in more effective learning outcomes. In contrast, frequent changes in tutors can disrupt this relationship, leading to a lack of continuity in instruction and potentially slowing down progress.

How are we able to keep costs low while maintaining top-quality coaches?

By operating primarily online, we reduce overhead costs, which allows us to focus on recruiting and retaining the best coaches. We streamline administrative processes through technology, allowing us to offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality.

What technology do I need for online tutoring?

All you need is a stable internet connection, a computer or tablet with a webcam, and a quiet, distraction-free space. While any computer with a webcam is sufficient, we recommend using a tablet with a stylus for an enhanced learning experience, especially for subjects that involve writing or drawing. We use Google Meet or similar video conferencing technology to facilitate our tutoring sessions, ensuring that the experience is seamless and interactive.

How are students matched with coaches?

We carefully match students with coaches based on their academic needs, learning style, and personality. Our goal is to ensure the perfect match so that each session is engaging, effective, and tailored to your child’s unique learning journey.

Can I reschedule a coaching session?

Yes, sessions can be rescheduled. Just let us know at contact@bettergradez.com and your coach at least 24 hours in advance, and we’ll find a suitable alternative time.

How do I sign up for tutoring?

To sign up, simply schedule a free consultation here. During consultation we will understand your needs and then match your child with the right coach.

Is there a contract or long-term commitment required?

No, we do not require long-term contracts. You can schedule sessions as needed and discontinue at any time with no penalties.

How do you ensure the safety and privacy of students?

We take the safety and privacy of our students seriously. All sessions are conducted on a secure platform, and we maintain strict confidentiality of student information. Our coaches are also required to adhere to a professional code of conduct.
