Where do you tutor?

Alex and Jeannine are working remotely for the foreseeable future.

Other TDH tutors can work remotely or meet in-person at an agreed-upon location.


What’s your approach?

Good question, thanks for asking! Really, every student is different, and we tailor our strategies accordingly. In broad strokes, though, our priority is for our students to be as confident as possible. This is achieved with a personalized mix of subject studying, effective strategies, organization, and the occasional pep talk.


How are you approaching tutoring during the pandemic?

We’re still operating, mostly remotely, and we can also help you set up a pod or in-person tutoring. For more info, check out our COVID-19 FAQ here.
