Tutor Revolution™ LLC

After I graduated from SMU in 2010 with my undergraduate degree, I looked for opportunities in education where I could work with students on an individual basis. At the same time, I started looking at various tutoring companies and was unhappy with the status quo. I was shocked at the low compensation, and that leadership had no background in education. I knew I loved education, and my passion was truly helping students however I could. I decided to try tutoring on my own, since I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

A short time later, I realized many families were asking me for help in subjects I do not specialize in, or asking me if I knew anyone that did. Since I was heavily invested in those children’s success, I felt I would be the best person to screen and coordinate potential new tutors for these families.

Fast-forward ten years, Tutor Revolution now contracts anywhere from 10-15 tutors at any given time, we offer online tutoring, and we have helped many students and families achieve academic success the United States, as well as in Canada.

Individually, I have returned to school to obtain my Master’s in Education. I am specializing in reading and writing. I am passionate about helping young students learn how to read, and older students how to read to learn.

What sets us apart from other providers is that Tutor Revolution thrives on collaboration, and we constantly communicate with our tutors. Furthermore, we do not look for tutors after we have been contacted; we only place students with tutors we have already recruited and that have undergone at least two practice sessions, in addition to other hiring procedures. We keep the tutors’ pictures and biographies online so parents know more about the person coming to their home. Since tutoring has to be a good fit, we only hire engaging individuals.

While I do have my attention on company growth and providing income for many tutors, the most important measure of success is our students’ achievements. Student success varies greatly. I feel very successful when I hear we have closed a gap of knowledge, a student has shown growth or a spark of interest, or is making better grades. We love motivating our students and modeling how to be a successful learner! Our aim is to show a student that learning, or a content area, can be enjoyable… perhaps even fun!
