No Diagnostic Testing
Wise Owl doesn't require expensive diagnostic testing. We don't believe that one-size-fits-all tests have enough benefit to warrant the time and stress involved. We begin with the student's current assignment; our goal is to increase the student's understanding right away. If a student has gaps in his background, we work on those areas as we go. Each student is matched with the same tutor and works one-on-one, so that the tutor easily assesses the student's level, strengths, and weaknesses. We observe how the student learns best, and at what pace.
Comfortable & Relaxing Environment
We strive to make Wise Owl the place where students can relax, ask questions freely, and build confidence. (One of the reasons we provide water, soda, and snacks to all students and parents.)
No Contracts and No Minimum Number of Hours
For most of our students, one day a week is sufficient. Occasionally, a student requests two days a week to make up lost time or get back on track quickly. We leave it to the student and parent to determine how often to schedule sessions.
Quality Tutoring at Affordable Rates
Not only do we recommend scheduling the fewest hours necessary, but keep our rates as low as possible. We realize that tutoring is one more item in budgets that are often already strained, and we try to give the most help for the least cost.
Since at least half our new students come to us from a referral, we are convinced that our approach works. See our testimonials!
