Since 2004, the live, one-on-one online tutoring from Growing Stars has proactively helped thousands of students get better grades in school, and score well in competitive tests.
Our teachers are highly qualified, and most of them have Masters’ Degrees in the subjects.
Every child has an Education Manager who manages tutoring to suit the child’s needs, and maintains a relationship with the parents.
Unlike those who provide instant tutoring or homework help only, our tutors spend time preparing for the sessions.
We follow exactly the same textbook that the student follows in school.
Your child can participate from the comfortable environment of your home, saving the time and money you would spend commuting to a tutoring center.
