What subjects do RTC tutor?

We offer academic support in almost every middle and high school subject, from basic Reading and Math to AP Calculus and Physics, and everything in between. Here’s our full academic course offering – if you don’t see something listed, please ask! We also offer college and graduate subject support.

Where do you find your tutors?

All of RTC’s tutors are carefully selected for their intuitive, innate teaching talent, their empathy and ability to connect with students, and their exceptional content knowledge. Many of our tutors are in Pennsylvania, where our company is physically located; as a national company that serves our students virtually, we also have exceptional tutors across the country.

How do you make a tutor match?

Our student onboarding process is very thorough. After our preliminary phone call with a parent, we ask the family to tell us about your student and their needs in our online platform, TutorCruncher. From there, we’ll have an interview with your student to get to know them, their strengths, and their learning needs. We are very thoughtful in our tutor matches, and we are happy to hear from a family if they would like a different tutor match.

Why don’t you tutor in person?

We became entirely virtual in 2020, which empowered us to both serve students across the country and to hire the best team members! Before that, we had always tutored virtually when needed, so we knew virtual 1-2-1 tutoring was just as engaged and effective as in-person tutoring. We are excited to match students with their best teacher, regardless of distance.

Can you work with students with special needs or learning differences?

At RTC, we pride ourselves on getting to know our students. Every student has a mosaic of needs. Since we work 1-2-1 with students, we don’t tend to think of any of these as “special” needs – every child has unique needs, and our tutors are equipped to meet them.  

Do you have a minimum lesson length?

In academic tutoring, minimum lesson length is usually one hour, and billing is done in five-minute increments. Again, we customize this entirely based upon the student’s needs. One of the conveniences of virtual tutoring is that tutors and students can sign on to lessons instantly, which means that a student who needs help can reach out to an available tutor at any time.
