How it Works

Getting Started

An Enrollment Coordinator calls to answer questions, choose an appropriate program and schedule the student’s weekly sessions.
Next, parents are connected with an Education Manager to discuss student learning goals and any other pertinent issues.
Students take a diagnostic test* online and begin sessions with a dedicated tutor.
Working with the assigned tutor, the Education Manager develops a personalized student learning plan.

Sessions are conducted with Skype’s Voice-over-IP service and Growing Stars online whiteboard.
Students use a computer-attachable tablet to write on the whiteboard, as well as a headset to enhance online voice communication.
Tutors teach from the same textbooks that students use in school.
Students can access home works, instructional materials, tests and lesson plans at our Student Portal.
Free, additional homework help is also available to Math students enrolled in our
8-hour/month programs.

The Education Manager holds periodic conferences with parents to discuss student progress and share feedback.
With our Parent Portal, parents may access progress reports from the tutor or Education Manager, as well as lesson plans and test results.

Growing Stars offers online tutoring services for elementary, middle school, and high school students in math, English, science, IT, and languages, as well as prep programs for the SAT, ACT, and AP tests.
