Our services cover virtually every academic need from kindergarten through college. Meet in-office, at home in Houston, or online.

Private tutoring

In-home or in-office.

Help with almost any academic need, from homework help to AP Calculus, plus Spanish, Mandarin, French and Latin. Sessions are 1-to-1 or small groups, in-office, in-home within ~10 miles of either office (West University, Bellaire, River Oaks, Galleria, Memorial, Heights, Montrose), or online.

  • Enrichment: a custom curriculum, typically once a week, one hour per subject
  • Maintenance (homework help): one to two times a week for 1–1.5 hours
  • Remedial: once or twice a week for 1–1.5 hours per subject

Study Lounge & Study Space

A better place to study.

In the Study Lounge, tutors help prioritize goals, monitor progress and work directly with each student for 2–4 hours, then send parents a summary. The Study Space offers up to 4 hours of supervised self-study.

Executive function

Smart, but scattered?

Executive function skills (working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control) are highly teachable. We help students plan, prioritize and execute on their own, and we measure EF skills in every session.

College counseling

From vision to submission.

Applying to college takes 200–400 hours over 14 months. Expert guidance can cut that time in half.

  • Hourly: targeted help when you need it, prorated if you upgrade
  • Honors Package: students applying to 5–8 schools, all-inclusive
  • Advanced Package: 9+ schools, including essay help, scholarship search, interview coaching and 10 hours of tutoring or SAT/ACT prep

Summer courses

Small classes, big summers.

Summer 2026 courses covered ISEE, ACT and SAT prep plus a Service Leadership & Executive Function intensive, capped at 8 students, at both offices, June 15–August 7. All courses $1,200, or $1,000 when enrolling with friends.

  • ACT: 1-week courses, Mon–Fri 5–8pm
  • ISEE Upper & Lower Level: 1-week courses, Mon–Fri 1–4pm

Online tutoring

The same tutors, anywhere.

We have tutored online since 2003: video chat, screen sharing and digital whiteboards on Zoom, Skype or FaceTime, with our practice tests on Piqosity. Switch to in-person with the same tutor any time.

Early guidance

Starting in 9th or 10th grade.

Private high school and college counseling that begins early, so students build the record they want.

For schools & companies.

Tailored services such as test prep courses, college counseling programs, school market analysis and corporate relocation advice.
