Tutoring is the most effective teaching method. Period. And, we have made it even better. We combine research-based tutoring practices, executive function skills, study skills support, and a dash of artificial intelligence to propel your child to great heights. All tutoring is conducted in-person, as it was always intended to be.
RiT uses a unique teaching philosophy with cutting-edge methods and timeless insights from research. Paired with a genuine openness to feedback, RiT tutors are always tuned into your child's progress. We don’t just tutor – we transform - providing clear achievements, timely updates, and insights into how your child learns.
Our tutoring packages include:

Our flagship service, we bring our tutors directly to your home. Our tutors come equipped with portable whiteboards, e-tablets, and a wide range of teaching materials. We also do home school support.
For students with IEPs, those of our tutors who have a teaching credential can meet with your child during study halls or electives to deliver help, study skills, and instruction during school hours. See here for details.
Our tutors blend executive function and academic instruction to supercharge learning. Executive function tutoring blends academic learning with instruction in how to use planners, organize school work, pace studying, and complete long-term projects.
One of the most requested subjects. We tutor arithmetic, pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry. We prioritize making sense of math and backfilling gaps in skills and knowledge.
We support all science but are strongest in physics, physical science, biology, and general science courses.
We teach introductory to advanced Spanish for students just learning or those attempting Advanced Placement courses.
As children age, the writing demands increase in amount and difficulty. We guide students through early writing all the way to university thesis writing. We teach structure, creativity, and purpose in writing.
We teach young children the science and art of learning. We specialize in cultivating the love of reading. We use several research-backed reading programs.
Executive function coaching is what supercharges our approach to learning and studying. As a developmental disorder linked to Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, executive dysfunction impacts the brain systems that guide goal-directed behavior. Students with biological or skill deficits in executive function often have difficulties following through on complex assignments and tasks because parts of their brains are temporarily less developed than their peers. While they can still keep up, they need additional help to pull it off.
As students grow older, their school work gets harder. The demands on executive function (organization, rule following, planning) increase. This is what most tutors miss. We blend learning and executive function skills development to support learning and studying.
We view executive function support in two ways.
The first relates to brain functions impacting memory, problem-solving, and self-control—often seen in kids with ADHD. Here RiT tutors work to help organize the student's environment and engineer new strong habits for success. We may recommend organizational tools, exercise protocols, and brain-friendly study habits.
The second has nothing to do with underlying neurodivergence. It's about learned skills. When some student encounter a challenge at the edge of their abilities, they need new tools to get the job done. New challenges often require new skill. We believe in training, family partnerships, and custom strategies tailored to each student's unique needs. Whether it's time management, a study plan for a foreign language, strategies for increasing focus, or deciphering the details of a project, we've got it covered.
