Support For Students

Connecting with a WPP tutor has advantages over other tutoring services:

• You pay the tutor directly after each meeting.

  • • Other services only give about 50% of what you pay to the tutor, so if you pay the service $85, the tutor gets perhaps $45.  This means you're paying $85 for $45 worth of service.

• WPP tutors are classroom teachers.

  • • Other services employ college students or recent college graduates with no experience teaching in the classroom.

• WPP tutors are well-practiced at and excel at helping students virtually.

• WPP tutors are flexible in their abilities to meet, and can meet on a regular basis or on an as-needed basis.

• WPP tutors can provide their own practice and instructional materials.

  • • Other services employ tutors that do not have experience creating their own instructional materials.

• WPP tutors not only teach students in a classroom, but are also AP exam graders, AP exam question writers, and professional development presenters who teach other teachers their techniques.
