Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES NEXT LEVEL UP DIFFERENTIATE THEMSELVES FROM OTHER TUTORING OPTIONS?
We are aware that parents today have enumerate choices when it comes to seeking outside academic support for their children. Parents can choose to either work with an individual from their local school district or a huge corporation, and everything in between. We make the process easy and rely on results, reputation, plus quality customer service. Because of where we are located, we have no shortage of intelligent, experienced, driven, and compassionate candidates to work with your children. The consistent nature of our hiring process, as well as the strict guidelines for becoming an academic coach, allows Next Level Up to always provide clients with coaches that believe in the same educational philosophy and approach to working with students of all ages.
WHO ARE THE TUTORS THAT WORK WITH NEXT LEVEL UP?
All coaches hired by Next Level Up have either a Master's degree, teaching certification, or are currently enrolled in a Graduate school program. Each tutor also must possess 3-5 years of one on one tutoring experience.
HOW DOES THE PROCESS WORK?
After we hear from you over the phone (781) 540-1123 or through an email inquiry [email protected] , we typically set up a free consultation in your home, online, or at our Tutoring Center in West Boylston, MA.
WHAT TAKES PLACE AT THE CONSULTATION?
The idea is to meet the parents and student in person in order to obtain as much information as possible to help come up with the best tutor match. Regardless of the student's age, it is important for him or her to be involved in the process and take ownership right from the beginning since it is all about him or her.
DO WE NEED TO SIGN A LONG TERM CONTRACT?
No. We do not believe in locking a family into a long term contract. The only thing Next Level Up asks for is a commitment of one month of service paid up front. After that first month, if you are happy with the tutoring, then we can keep the schedule moving forward.
HOW DO WE FIND THE IDEAL MATCH?
There are many factors we take into consideration. They range from the age and gender of the student, personality type, interests, academic strengths and weaknesses, location, and availability.
WHAT IF MY CHILD IS NOT HAPPY WITH THE ACADEMIC COACH?
If you or your child is not happy with the academic coach, we will remedy the situation by replacing your tutor with an alternate, but equally ideal choice of tutor. Next Level Up has many highly qualified, knowledgeable, personable tutors to choose from.
WHERE DOES THE TUTORING TAKE PLACE?
We like to hold each session in the comfort of each student's home. There are many reasons for this. This is where students do their nightly homework, giving the tutor an opportunity to gain insight into each student's study habits and whether they are creating an atmosphere conducive to using his or her time productively. Another benefit is that parents are able to listen in on each session and hear what is being said to their child, in addition to being able to ask questions. The obvious benefit is the convenience factor of not having to drive your student anywhere. We also can meet students online via Zoom or in our Tutoring Center in West Boylston, MA.
DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR AN INITIAL ASSESSMENT?
No. Each coach is provided with all of the information gained at the initial free consultation. The coach will perform an initial assessment during the first session with the student. This can be as simple as presenting a set of problems to the student to see how they go about solving or by reviewing current writing samples in order to glean where the student needs improvement. Most students are creatures of habit and tend to consistently make similar errors in their work until someone points these errors out to them, and gives them the tools to fix them.
DO NEXT LEVEL UP ACADEMIC COACHES PROVIDE MATERIALS?
Yes. However, since we base the majority of the sessions off the student's current classroom concepts, we encourage all students to bring their classroom textbooks, notes, practice sheets, essays, and old quizzes/tests with them to each session. Our coaches do bring plenty of extra practice with them.
DOES NEXT LEVEL UP PROVIDE PARENT REFERENCES?
Most definitely. Upon request, we will provide phone numbers and email addresses of parents who have had success using our service.
HOW ARE NEXT LEVEL UP ACADEMIC COACHES SCREENED?
The owner personally, intensively interviews each candidate, checks all references, and runs everyone through the Massachusetts CORI background check system.
WHAT METHOD OF PAYMENTS DO YOU TAKE?
Cash, check or credit card.
