Every child deserves a champion—an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists that they become the best that they can possibly be.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the tutoring cost?
APT provides proficient tutoring by using an efficient structure that keeps costs low. APT offers a flat enrollment fee-so students can attend regularly. It’s like buying a gym membership. We recommend your child attend tutoring services a minimum of 2-times per week. All membership fees are based on a 2-day per week attendance. Attending less frequently may result in slower results. Too many sessions may result in your child learning to NOT enjoy learning. Prices vary by child’s age, and needs.

Will my child come home with more homework?
No. All APT learning occurs in-person. Our aim is to reduce frustration and overload, not add to the frustration.

Will I get a progress report?
We’ll send progress notes on a monthly basis to the email you provide.
