At PrepNow all of our tutoring is one-to-one, and our state-of-the-art virtual classroom enables your child to work privately with a tutor from the convenience of your home. Years of experience have taught us that finding the right match is a critically important step in a successful tutoring outcome, and our innovative program gives you access to some of the best tutors in the country. Each profile has information regarding the tutor's academic history, teaching experience, teaching style, hobbies and interests. This information, along with the diverse backgrounds and personalities of our staff, will help to ensure that you find the perfect match for your child.
