Grow Together
Personalized support for every stage of your child’s education.
We believe the mentor-student relationship is fundamental to guiding students in acquiring new habits and skills. Through effective communication and a collaborative approach to meeting a child’s needs, we build long-term relationships with students, families, teachers, and administrators in order to provide the most comprehensive service.
A Few Kind Words.
“Rise Above Tutoring is a rare find! For an education evaluation that was performed on my son last Spring, our tutor from Rise Above was asked to write an accompanying report based on their sessions together. The psychologist conducting the evaluation said the tutor was spot-on in identifying the areas my son was struggling in.
Through keen intuition and a deft touch, our tutor created tutoring sessions tailored to my son’s specific needs. As a result, he has since far exceeded our academic expectations.”
— Corrine, mother of two boys, ages 4 and 6
“Lauren is an excellent teacher. She provides supplemental education support for our fourth-grader, including guidance with homework completion, as well as SAT preparation for our sixth-grader. Both of my children enjoy working with her, as do I: she’s very friendly, extraordinarily organized, and communicative.“
— Mary Ann, mother of a fourth-grader and a sixth-grader
“Our Rise Above tutor performed magic with our children. She was an incredibly positive influence during the entire experience. In the midst of the pandemic, she helped my family assemble a learning pod for six 2nd graders: she created the curriculum, and even organized games for the kids during breaks.
Her encouragement and outgoing demeanor in such an unknown time were greatly appreciated. We all value the focus, direction, and fun she brought to the experience.”
— Erin, mother of an 8-year-old girl
“Among her many talents as a tutor, Lauren knows how to successfully engage with a spectrum of moods. Some days, my son was tired. Some days, he was hyper. Some days, he was cross—she never took it personally. She walked into each session with level-headed kindness and brought out the best in him. He quickly fell in love with learning and blossomed under her tutelage.
For three months, we chose not to send our son back to school because of the pandemic; to be able to say that he’s actually ahead of his class after missing so much time is just incredible. I’m truly in awe of Lauren’s effect on my son and never cease to be amazed by her ingenuity, knowledge, and compassion.”
— Jennifer, mother of a kindergartener
