At Factum Tutors, our initiative is focused on helping students excel through peer-to-peer tutoring. Peer tutoring, also known as "cross-age tutoring", has been shown by research to be an incredibly effective methodology of learning. A meta-analysis of over 52 studies uncovered higher test results across the board for peer-tutored students over traditionally tutored in math and reading examinations. William Damon and Erin Phelps, two pioneers of peer collaboration research, state the reason why this form of learning may be so effective:

 

"Unlike adult-child instruction, [in] peer tutoring the expert party is not very far removed from the novice party in authority or knowledge... Being closer in knowledge and status, the tutee in a peer relation feels freer to express opinions, ask questions, and risk untested solutions."

 

However the most profound impact of peer tutoring, as the American Psychological Association states, is that it changes the attitude of a student towards whichever subject they may be struggling with. This effect, in the long-term, is the key to fostering a lifelong love for learning.

While we believe that an investment into your child's future is of utmost importance, we do not believe in charging ridiculously high prices for tutoring. We charge a flat, fair, per-session rate for all of our services. You will even receive a free consultation on exactly what issues your child needs help on, the plan of action for him or her and what the per-session rate would be.
