Our Holistic Philosophy & Approach
Students can develop gaps throughout the years. We aim to close those gaps, while helping your kids create solid organizational and time management skills. Whatever the subject is, from Math to Writing to Physics, we have it covered. Our tutors use a holistic approach to continuously assess students throughout each session, working diligently to figure out where the gaps are. This allows them to know what message to use and area to focus on for next session. Next Level Up always keeps an eye on the academic coaching piece, those executive functioning areas(time management, organization, planning, etc.) that can have such an impact on reaching success in school and beyond. No student is the same. Every plan must be individualized.
We take the idea of becoming a lifelong learner seriously. We like to find that positive note in a student's life, and build on it by helping them make the connection to the benefit of doing well in school. By offering up perspective each session, ALL kids start to see things more clearly and take school more seriously. Newly gained perspective is a powerful tool in a student's arsenal of academic development. NLU accomplishes this by matching each student with the most perfect fit possible from a wide roster of academic coaches and tutors.
Communication between our staff, the parents, and classroom teachers is something we strive to maintain.

Recent Testimonials:
Thanks Todd. NLU definitely made all the difference in Hayden's comprehension of Algebra, not to mention easing the anxiety that comes along with it for all of us. I would definitely recommend NLU to anyone struggling.
George C. - Clinton, MA (June 2024)
He’s been doing great since the end of the second quarter this year and is in line to make the headmaster honor roll at St. John’s, which is the highest honor roll St. John’s has. I saw Andrew at the end of Nick’s session yesterday and thanked him for his contribution to Nick's success. Andrew would have none of it, and gave all the success to Nick, in which I responded that every player has a great coach It was a great ending the year.
Jeff P. - Sterling, MA (May 2024)
I loved Gail my tutor! She was so friendly and nice. I also really liked the tutoring center itself. The chairs were very comfy and the grey privacy walls were cool.
Natalie J. (3rd grader) - Sterling, MA (Feb. 2024)
I had a great experience at Next Level Up. Todd, the owner, was wonderful to deal with, incredibly professional and responsive. The center has all the amenities your student could possibly need. Starting with a clean and welcoming waiting area to an array of tutoring stations, dry erase tables, privacy/sound barriers, and a restroom facility. The tutoring staff is of high-quality and we were expertly matched with Gail, who turned out to be a perfect fit. She was able to give my daughter great study and organizational skills, as well as raise her confidence level in math and reading. Overall, my family and I would highly recommend this tutoring center.
Jessica J.(mother of Natalie J.) - Sterling, MA (Feb. 2024)
I really liked how accommodating Next Level Up was with our schedule. They were incredibly flexible when we needed to change days and times. I also appreciated that they allowed my younger child to sit quietly and color while the tutoring session was going on.
Eric J.(father of Natalie J.) - Sterling, MA (Feb. 2024)
My fourth grade son has been working with Dave at Next Level Up Tutoring since September. We are elated at the progress he has made! Next Level Up offers an individualized learning experience sensitive to our son's learning style and personality. We could not be happier with our experience!
Jenn D. - Holden, MA (May, 2023)
We are so thankful to have come across Next Level Up. Todd responded to our inquiry within a few hours and we had a call on what our neurodiverse teenager's needs were. The very next week he had us set up with David for Physics tutoring. David has been a game changer! Physics is now our teenager's favorite subject. Even when there is no homework to work on, David comes up with challenges to keep him on his toes. He even helps a bit with Algebra II as well. Our teen looks forward to walking in the door and updating David on his progress every week. We look forward to continuing this relationship next year as well. Thank you David & Todd!
Tracy K. - Northborough, MA (May, 2023)
My son loves working with Todd, and never gives me a hard time about having to go to his weekly tutoring sessions. When we first met Todd, I was immediately impressed with how engaged he was with our son. He invited us to come meet him in order to introduce himself to our son and to get to know him a little. Todd’s teaching style is dynamic and he is willing to pivot and try different strategies when necessary. His ability to identify and address areas of executive function weakness has been essential in helping our son gain clearer perspective, independence and confidence in his work. Our experience with Next Level Up Tutoring has been helpful on more than just an academic level; my son’s overall anxiety level with school work has progressively decreased. I see great value in Todd’s personal approach to the individual student’s collective needs. His positive energy, enthusiasm, and one on one attention is exactly what my son needs in a teacher. I’m so glad we found Next Level Up Tutoring and Todd. I’ve recommended NLU and Todd to several people, and will continue to do so.

How it works
The first meeting is always complimentary.
Our experienced academic coaches and tutors can work with any age student in any subject, up to the most advanced levels of Math, Science, Literature, Writing Composition, and History. Review our full range of subjects.
Academic coaching is more of a beneficial process and approach, and less of a band-aid solution.
We want to help your child become the best version of themselves.

What are executive functioning skills? Executive functions help an individual apply basic skills to real-life situations in a well-organized way. Executive functions include one's ability to maintain one's attention in order to control and manage cognitive functions such as organizing, problem solving, stopping impulses, and thinking flexibly.
What is academic coaching? Academic coaching is a comprehensive form of support that not only helps to fill in the fundamental gaps of knowledge in students' subject areas, but also assesses and addresses areas like organization, time management, study habits & skills, motivation, effort, and overall perspective in school.

What more parents have to say:
Nothing short of amazing! Todd worked wonders with my son who was struggling in school. Not only did he help him academically, he helped with organizational skills, study habits, and learning how to break down big projects into smaller tasks so he wasn’t so overwhelmed. My son went from below average grades to straight A’s!!! As a mom, the best aspect was the confidence my son gained from Todd’s passionate goal to help him do all he was capable of. I feel forever grateful that another mom told me about Next Level Up
Greere C. - Holden, MA (January, 2020)
We have found working with Next Level Up to be seamless and easy. We did a video chat with Todd...and shortly after, Julian appeared in our home. He is kind, professional, and brilliant! He worked with my son on math for a number of months, making difficult concepts clear, and working at my son's pace...We have been very happy with Julian and Next Level Up, and would recommend their services highly.
Adena C. - Needham, MA (May, 2018)
Julian, worked with our eighteen year old son primarily to focus on calculus but also assisted my son with Physics when it became evident that he was also struggling with the subject as well...All of this also affected his confidence with each passing exam. Since working with Julian, we have seen an increase in his overall self-confidence...he had a great approach and was able to communicate in a manner that my son understood. Todd took the time to listen to our concerns and much to his credit matched my son with a great tutor.
Pedro G. – Norwood, MA (May 2018)
We have used Next Level Up since our daughter was in 9th grade, she is now in 11th grade, and we have been very happy with the service. Todd is very kind, respectful, professional and organized...I appreciated his holistic approach, making sure it wasn't just about finding a tutor for math support but also about finding ways to ensure our daughter had a successful year all around...I also want to add that over the last year we have had to make a couple of significant changes, and both Todd and Melissa were understanding, flexible and supportive of our needs. I highly recommend Next Level Up!
Jennifer L. - Newton, MA (Sept., 2017)
We have used Next Level Up for 2 years for our daughter, who is graduating 8th grade. The academic coaches have been very friendly, professional, organized, and effective. They have played a significant and positive role in our daughter’s academic life. We strongly recommend Next Level Up, and expect to continue to use their academic coaches as our daughter enters high school.
