Tutoring Services

A meeting with your Signet tutor is an interactive, inspiring dialogue with someone who knows you and how you learn.

With our subject tutors, you can set up a long-term relationship for a class that you know will be challenging, or schedule just a session or two for targeted help on a problem set, essay, or examination. Contact us for a free initial consultation.

The Signet Method

Discover

Your tutor will ask about your current challenges and past experiences to discover what might be holding you back. Maybe you need to change your study environment, or you may have missed a fundamental concept and need to circle back to grasp it.

Plan

Next, your tutor will map out an approach for your learning style, using every possible resource to help you master the content. Your tutoring will be designed specifically for you and, depending on your goals, could span weeks, months, or even years.

Work

Your tutor will tailor instruction to you and stick with you until you have the confidence and skill to work on your own. Along the way, your tutor will continually adjust your study plan as your skills evolve, offering creative, engaging, and effective ways of achieving your goals.

We contacted Signet when our son needed occasional help in advanced mathematics. He has described his tutor as the most talented math teacher with whom he has ever worked. My son has told me that his tutor has a way of asking clear questions that get him to think about a problem differently and help him to understand complicated concepts.”
