General Homework Help
We provide flexible homework support across all subjects. Tutors help students understand assignments, stay organized, manage time, and complete work accurately, while also teaching study habits that build independence and confidence.
Mandarin (Language & Culture)
Our Mandarin tutoring supports speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills for beginners and continuing students. Sessions include watching and discussing short videos to improve listening comprehension and pronunciation, practicing basic speaking skills, and learning essential vocabulary used in everyday situations. We also introduce foundational writing skills, including basic characters and stroke order, while reinforcing grammar and sentence structure in a clear, approachable way. The goal is to help students feel comfortable understanding and using Mandarin at an early to developing level, with an emphasis on steady progress and confidence rather than perfection.
English
Our English tutoring helps students strengthen reading comprehension, writing skills, grammar, and literary analysis. We work on essays, creative writing, research papers, and exam preparation, with a focus on clear structure, strong arguments, and confident communication.
Science
We support students in biology, chemistry, physics, and general science at both middle school and high school levels. Tutoring emphasizes understanding core concepts, mastering scientific vocabulary, and applying ideas to labs, quizzes, and exams. We help students connect theory to real-world examples so science feels logical and manageable.
History
We help students succeed in history by improving content understanding, note-taking, source analysis, and essay writing. Sessions focus on major themes, timelines, cause-and-effect relationships, and building clear, well-supported historical arguments.
