Values and the Subjects We Tutor
Our Tutoring Values
Building Relationships
As our tutors work with students, they focus on getting to know them as learners and as people. We see building relationships and positive rapport as a vital part of one-on-one tutoring. So, Planting Seeds keeps students with the same tutor throughout their school semester to keep great synergy going.
Power of Adaptability
Our individualized, flexible scheduling includes evening and weekend options, so finding a convenient time is easy, and our in-home & online services eliminate drive time and transportation complications. Our job is to be flexible with your schedule by making learning fun and less complicated!
Personalized Learning
Our individualized approach allows us to meet any and all needs. Academic tutoring can help students who hope to be challenged beyond the classroom. We also provide tutoring to supplement home school educations. Long story short, whether it’s a short-term or long-term commitment, we can be there to help.
Test Prep and Practice Tests
The Test Prep section of our website contains many useful resources to help you find out more about the tests we tutor for, registration links, dates, and content matter. We even have links to official practice tests to help our students succeed in:
- PSAT, SAT (and Subject Tests)
