Elementary School Tutoring + Support

Do elementary school students really need tutoring? It’s a common question from parents, and we understand why! Parents want their children to succeed in school, but they worry about overly stressing out their student - who’s already having a hard time! The beauty of tutoring for grades 1 -5 is that it’s all about making school easier and more fun. And with Ivy Tutors Network your student will be paired with a tutor who is an expert in their subject, but also an expert at building rapport with all ages. Need another reason to hire a tutor? A review of almost 200 studies found that high-dosage tutoring is one of the few school-based interventions with demonstrated large positive effects on both math and reading. This means that if your son or daughter struggles with math, reading, or writing now, early, repeated access to tutoring is the best way to make sure they’re not struggling later. With over 20 years of experience, Ivy Tutors Network offers elementary school tutoring and support to students in person in New York and Atlanta, and virtually anywhere in the U.S. Work with us today to help your student go from struggling to thriving!

How Ivy Tutors Supports Grade School Students + Families

Early learners are not exempt from educational struggles. And parents can feel unsure how to help or wonder if their child really needs additional support (or if they’re worried over nothing). Ivy Tutors Network can help you evaluate if your child is struggling - or just the opposite - they need more of a challenge. We’ll pair your student with a tutor who knows how to connect with your child and provide them a toolkit full of strategies to master whatever they’re learning.

Entrance Exam Test Prep
Looking to move your child(ren) to a private school? Many schools require the ISEE or SSAT starting in 2nd grade. Ensure their success on the entrance exam with personalized, data-backed strategies. Utilizing diagnostic testing, we identify students’ strengths and areas of need, providing necessary data for developing a customized test prep plan for each student. Our tutors are adept at addressing content gaps, and teach students test-taking strategies, time management, and tools to cope with test anxiety. Test-prep is our specialty. Choose from ISEE or SSAT test prep for your grade school students.
Entrance Exam Test Prep
Reading and writing are critical core subjects and are some of the most likely to pose challenges to students, especially those with learning differences or English language learners. Our tutors teach foundational reading skills, fill in gaps in grammar, reading comprehension, or logical reasoning, and help with reading aloud.
Help with Reading + ELA
Success with math starts early. Our expert tutors have been providing an excellent foundation to students for almost 20 years. We know that math can seem really hard and overwhelming at times. But it can also be fascinating, exciting, and even fun. Our brilliant and caring tutors are here to bridge the gap. We love working with younger students to ensure they feel confident in the basics they will need to be successful in, and stay curious about, math for their whole lives.
Math Support for Grades 1 - 5
Have a child with vast and varied interests that exceed their current school curriculum? Find that your little smarty-pants needs more of a challenge than they’re getting? Our expert tutors know how to connect with students and encourage their passions, leading to more learning - and more fun!
Enrichment for Gifted Students
Neurodiversity has many advantages - but it does not always feel like that for young learners. Parents looking to provide their student with extra support have access to expert tutors with Ivy Tutors Network. Many of our tutors specialize in ADD/ADHD strategies to help with focus and improve learning for students in Grades K - 12. Their ability to connect with students will have your son or daughter feeling like ADHD is their super power in no time.

What Other Parents Are Saying

Kathryn H.
Henry is thoroughly enjoying working with Jordan. Up until now, Henry has not gotten any one-on-one teaching of coding so he's thrilled to work this way with Jordan. Henry has said it's super interesting, fun and he loves it.
Caitlin B.
Thank you so much. The tutors have been amazing from start to finish. We are so grateful to have this program since our daughter doesn’t have any in-classroom options this year. We love Ivy Tutors Network!
Rachel N.
We’ve had such a positive experience with Ivy Tutors. My son started working with Shakir two years ago, at a time when he was really struggling in school. The one on one support has been invaluable, and has truly helped to turn things around. I honestly don’t think we could have made it this far without them - would highly recommend!

Who Can Benefit from an Elementary School Tutor?

Reading + ELA Tutoring

Strong reading and writing skills are a key indicator of school success - and they can be taught! Our tutors work with elementary students to master silent and out-loud reading, as well as teaching grammar, reading comprehension, and logical reasoning so that they can become lifelong learners - and readers!

Elementary Math Tutoring

Math fundamentals are the blocks upon which the rest of a math education is built. Our tutors focus on key concepts and mindset, showing them that working hard at a problem is something to be proud of. Instead of “I’m not good at math,” they learn to say “I’m still learning to be great at math.”
