At Advance Tutoring Education Services, our tutors come directly to you. You don't need to drive anywhere! Our dedicated and qualified tutors will design a program specifically for your child. It will consist of their school's curriculum, not a pre-determined program that may not relate at all to what your child is working on in school. We will also communicate with your child's teacher, if necessary, to be sure your child is on the right track.
No, assessment tests which can cost up to $200.00 in a learning center environment are not a prerequisite for your child to be tutored.
We highly recommend that your child bring their school books or any other materials to the specific subject(s) we tutor. In some cases, our tutors will provide materials if it complements what your child is learning. However, we do not provide a curriculum. We will help you attain materials from your child's school, if necessary, or direct you to several resources where you can purchase the appropriate books or supplements.
Yes, we come to you at your convenience. We require that a parent or guardian over the age of 21 be at home for the entire tutoring session. For student's over the age of 16, we offer tutoring at your local library; however, we highly recommend having the tutor come to you. Ask for more details about this option during your complimentary in-home evaluation.
Our tutors are full-time credentialed teachers, substitute teachers, retired teachers, or honors college students with at least two years of teaching and/or one-on-one tutoring experience. We check all references, obtain background checks and personally interview every tutor. We only hire the most experienced and exceptional tutors of excellence in education.
If, after the first session is complete, you do not think the tutor is a good match with your child, you will not be charged for the session, and another tutor will be contacted.
No, we do not have any long-term contracts. However, we strongly suggest attending a minimum of four sessions to see progress. The minimum amount of time for each session is one hour.

Yes. If the student is homeschooled, we will provide a credentialed teacher or a certified tutor, depending on which type of home school program he/she is receiving. We provide excellent support and guidance for all home school students and their families.
All of our tutoring is facilitated through one-on-one sessions. For our tutors to be effective and for the students to benefit, we do not provide group tutoring. During the in-home consultation, we can discuss the most cost-effective way for all of the students to be tutored individually.
After we meet with you, we will contact one of our tutors within 48 hours. We will call you to tell you about the tutor. The tutors will then call you for an introduction, get directions to your home, and establish a schedule that works for you.
Yes, we have tutors who are very capable of tutoring college-level courses. Requests for college-level tutoring have increased dramatically in the last year, and we can provide an experienced, credentialed teacher or professor. College students can be tutored on campus or in the library.
We have tutors available throughout Cobb and Fulton Counties.

Yes, we will help your student prepare for both exams. We highly recommend that you contact us at least six weeks before the test, so our tutors have enough time to help the student prepare. Although we only require one hour a week of tutoring, our experience has been that two hours a week for test prep is the most effective. The rate is the same as our hourly rates for tutoring.
Yes. You can give us your credit card number at the consultation, and we can set up automatic monthly or bi-weekly payments if you prefer to pay by check, no problem. You always have the option to change your preferred method of payment or call or e-mail us, and we’ll make the appropriate switch.
