Tutor FAQ’s

HOW IT WORKS

BOOKING A TUTOR ONLINE OR IN-PERSON: Students may search for and book a tutor by clicking on the FIND A TUTOR BY SUBJECT tab, or by going to the home page. Students may search for tutors by subject, course title, city, zip code, or hourly rate. Login is required to book a tutor. Tutoring sessions are paid for here by the Student post-session, with the exception of a small charge at booking for card validation. Students may message tutors once they create an account. Students will receive a tutoring session summary post-session. Students may review tutors after their session.

TAKING AN ONLINE COURSE: Click on “Courses” tab at the top to view our course catalog. We offer semi-synchronous courses in various subjects for Elementary through Grade 12 and beyond, many with live instructor sessions at least once per week.

American Tutors offers online and in-person tutoring, along with a variety of affordable online K-12, college-prep courses, and enrichment courses. Our online courses are asynchronous, semi-synchronous, or synchronous, depending on the course.

Our high school courses count for either 0.5 or 1 credit which the Student may use towards his or her homeschool transcript. All Students receive a Certificate of Completion after their successful completion of one of our courses. Students are assessed in the courses and grades are visible in our learning management system. Each 1 credit course corresponds to 120 hours of student work in the course.
