Our Team

Tutors on Wheels has been dedicated in providing the most effective teaching possible over the past 13 years. Our formula is simple yet effective; give struggling students teachers and tutors who are specialists in their content area and who have accumulated a great deal of teaching/tutoring experience.

We staff certified teachers, many of whom are currently working in the Department of Education, charter schools, or private schools. These experienced teachers come to their tutoring sessions with various strategies and effective resources already in mind. The familiarity these teachers have with their respective curriculum enables them to efficiently use the tutoring time helping your child in specific areas of weakness. We also staff tutors who have worked at different accredited educational agencies and colleges. All of our tutors are solely used in their area/s of academic strength.
