Why 6 Weeks? Focused Support That Makes a Difference
TBU tutoring groups meet twice a week for six weeks—a total of 12 focused sessions designed to make the most of your child’s time and energy. Research shows that short, targeted learning cycles are especially effective for keeping students engaged and helping them grow.
Our tutors use real-time data to track student progress and adjust instruction as needed, so every session is meaningful and personalized. This approach allows us to support your child’s learning without overwhelming them.
Each week, you’ll receive a progress report with updates on what your child is working on and suggestions for how you can support their learning at home. We believe that strong communication between families and tutors makes all the difference!
