Houston Private Tutoring FAQs
Yes, when parents ask this question they’re usually referring to study skills including:
- Organization
- Time Management
- Planning
- Note-taking
- Communication
Because every child is unique, our tutors generally find success by helping the student develop and refine the systems that work best for them.
For example, we do not simply hand students a planner and say, “use this,” rather we review different options like Google Calendar, Apple Reminders, and help the student refine the right mix of tools that works for them.
For more learned skills like note-taking and communication, tutors generally leverage the student’s existing coursework to identify current weaknesses and propose corrective measures. Even during summer when there is limited coursework, our tutors can develop personalized assignments to improve note-taking skills.
Less than 10% of the top 1% of US college undergraduates and graduates meet our rigorous tutor qualifications. We actively recruit the most brilliant and charismatic would-be tutors.
- We start by recruiting brilliant individuals with proven academic records—very high test scores and grades.
- Then we ensure that these would-be tutors are able to help in a broad range of upper level subjects including advanced math and science.

For private tutoring our rates depend on the:
- subject matter (1st grade reading vs MCAT test prep),
- experience level of the tutor (Rice undergraduate vs NASA engineer), and
- location (in-office vs 10 miles away).
Our post-paid, hourly rates start at $80 per hour. Click here for more details.
When helping students improve their grades in school, out tutors and managers like to have access to the student’s online school portal to see grades and assignments.
For enrichment or test prep, tutors use a combination of official materials (i.e. College Board’s Official SAT Practice Tests) plus our original content published at Piqosity.com.
Most students meet with a tutor 1 to 2 times per week for 1 to 1.5 hours per week; however, every student’s goals and needs are different—
For maintaining current grades, getting ahead, or preparing for a standardized test, students generally meet with a tutor one to two times per week for 1 to 2 hours.
For remediating poor grades across multiple subjects, students generally meet with a tutor for 2-3 times a week for 1.5 to 2 hours.
