A personal tutor takes the guesswork out of getting a child to stay focused during a lesson. The following tutoring companies are offering online platforms that let your kids get the help they need from the comfort of their own home. If your child needs literal face time, these DC tutoring companies will also come to you.

They offer sessions for preschoolers and for advanced learners with an assessment to determine whether your child needs to catch up a bit or is ready to move ahead of the pack. What really sets Kumon apart is that tutor-led instruction includes independent work. Kumon determines where your child may have gaps in their foundational learning, then encourages your child to engage in self-learning to fill those gaps and build on their new foundation. Unlike traditional tutoring, where an instructor offers knowledge that your child may or may not fully grasp, Kumon allows your child to feel the thrill of seeking out education on their own and putting it to use. Kumon offers an online platform, but their regional centers are open and available for face-to-face help.

Launch makes math and science fun, but perhaps one of its most unique and useful features is that they make the work provided by your child’s school the focus of each session. Each minute of the session will not only ensure your child is gaining a better understanding of the subject, but is productively spent on work that gets counted towards their grades rather than random practice assignments.They have remote learning support, called Launch Study Hall, as well as summer and holiday camps, enrichment classes, and even an option to customize a class for your child and a few friends.Online:: launchmath.comphoto: Rawpixels TestingMom.comIf your kid does well in school overall but they struggle with tests, TestingMom.com is the answer.
