IVY Achievers

Thanks to today�s technologies, online tutoring is as effective as conventional face-to-face tutoring. During the past fourteen years, Ivyachievers.com has helped thousands of students achieve tremendous grade improvements. The IvyAchievers proprietary shared whiteboard and the ability to talk through the headset over the internet combine to give the student an experience equivalent to sitting next to the teacher. Online tutoring is no longer new; it has been proven for more than a decade.

Yes, our qualified online tutors are from India. That is how we are able to provide high-quality tutoring at affordable prices. We hire only tutors with excellent communication abilities and strong subject knowledge. We put them on the job only when we are convinced that they can understand the students, and the students can understand them. In case a teacher does not work out for a student, we immediately facilitate a change of tutor.

A child�s areas of strengths and weaknesses will be assessed by conducting an initial test and subsequent periodic tests. Based on the evaluation results, the student�s Education Manager will put together a personalized approach that is tailored to strengthen the areas that need improvement. The tutor and the Education Manager work as a team to bring up each student�s grades and test scores. Parental involvement is a key part of our tutoring program.

IvyAchievers Inc. currently helps children from grades 1 through 12 and many college subjects.

Most children need two hours of one-on-one tutoring per week. In addition, two hours of computer-aided learning and test taking (without teacher interaction) per month is recommended. However, if a child�s Education Manager finds that extra hours are needed, the child will be advised accordingly to take additional lessons. If a student is already doing well and needs occasional help only, the Education Manager will recommend fewer hours.

An electronic whiteboard is a white rectangular area on a computer screen, on which we can write or draw using a digital pencil. A digital writing pad is a tablet the size of a mouse pad. A digital pencil is a mouse the size and shape of a pen. Together, these three devices are used to simulate the experience of writing with a pencil.

The tutoring service is intended to supplement (not substitute) classroom learning. It will considerably improve the knowledge level of any participating student. An average learner will be elevated to an excellent level, a below average learner will be brought up to an average level, and an excellent learner will be challenged to higher levels of excellence and outstanding performance.

A child�s areas of strengths and weaknesses will be assessed by conducting an initial test and subsequent periodic tests.
