The tutors I endorse here are former students of mine who are in college in STEM fields. I have encouraged and mentored them as tutors. I endorse each of them, or else I would not agree to list them here. However, they do vary in background, skill, and experience. Their fees are higher than high school peer tutors and lower than professional tutors. I post their information here as a service to them and to you, the prospective client or parent. I do not take any "cut" as payment. My role is simply to mentor young tutors and match them with appropriate students. Prospective students or parents are welcome to schedule a one-time session with me so that I can help match student to tutor.
