Yes — consistency matters. Your child is assigned a dedicated tutor for the duration of enrollment. In rare scheduling conflicts, we'll notify you and provide a qualified substitute.

Absolutely. If your child has a preference, let us know during enrollment and we'll do our best to accommodate.

This is one of the most common concerns we hear. Our tutors are trained to meet students where they are, build trust slowly, and make sessions feel less like school. Most reluctant students warm up within a few sessions.

Our platform keeps content relevant and appropriately challenging. Tutors set achievable session goals and celebrate small wins, building genuine confidence and momentum over time.

Most families report noticeable improvement in confidence within 4–6 weeks. Grade improvement typically follows within one grading period. Consistent attendance is the biggest factor.

Because our teachers monitor every student in real time, we catch struggles immediately. The curriculum adjusts automatically, and we'll reach out to parents if we notice a consistent pattern so we can address it together.

Yes — every tutor undergoes a comprehensive background check before their first session, including criminal history, sex offender registry, and identity verification. No exceptions.

Yes. A Strive staff member is always on-site. Students are never left alone with a single tutor in an unsupervised space. All classrooms are open and visible from the main area.
