Why is Aim-for-A Tutoring better than other tutoring services?

Aim-for-A Tutoring has the following advantages over other tutoring services:
  • Systematic Learning: Our basic service includes a systematic worksheet program that acts as the anchor for the tutoring program. Most other tutoring services provide help on an ad hoc basis without a systematic learning program.
  • Competitive Pricing: Since we keep our overhead expenses to the minimum, we are able to provide you a very competitive fee structure. Also, you only pay for what you use.
  • Experienced and Committed Tutors: All our tutors have educational background and experience to be excellent tutors. Above all, they have demonstrated committment and passion for tutoring.
