Tutoring that Makes a Difference 

Tutors on Wheels joined the educational community in 2003 intent on making a difference in education. Since then, thousands of students in grades K-12 and college have mastered the concepts, strategies, and skills needed for academic success. We have made a difference, and we want to continue doing so with the learners of today and the future.

What We Do and How We Do It

Tutors on Wheels promotes academic achievement through individual and small-group tutoring. We make it easy for students to get the help they need by travelling to their homes, schools, and community centers. Our Online Tutoring option allows parents to organize sessions around their student’s schedule. Online Tutoring brings Tutors on Wheels to our students’ doorsteps all over the United States.

Who We Serve

We teach students of all abilities and academic backgrounds in all grades and subjects. Tutors on Wheels also provides educational services through alliances with schools, libraries, nonprofits and government agencies.

Who We Are

Tutors on Wheels is a group of diverse, dedicated, and experienced educators who partner with parents and schools to help their students achieve, reinforce, and sustain academic success. Our tutors work hard to build and maintain these partnerships. We know that without them, our students' academic improvements will be short lived.

Our approach to instruction:

Rather than using an institutional approach to supplemental instruction, Tutors on Wheels employs a diagnostic/prescriptive method. The process begins with an administered assessment to pinpoint a child’s academic strengths and deficits. Based on the assessment results, a customized learning program is formulated to address the student’s needs. All student assessment results, learning program designs, and tutoring session schedules are discussed in a formal parent conference prior to the student’s first tutoring session. Our tutors also maintain a close relationship with their students’ classroom teachers through personal visits, IEP conferences, and online communication. The assessment-based customized learning programs enable our tutors to create personalized instructional approaches designed to enhance each student’s strengths and to remediate each learning deficit.

Our components of differentiated instruction:

The Tutors on Wheels’ instructional method utilizes a blended approach to differentiated instruction that can incorporate both technology and direct instruction. All technology components are research based and are aligned to New York State Standards and to the Common Core Standards. Through direct instruction, our tutoring provides the students with homework help that utilizes the students’ existing assignments and curriculum. Every instructional component will be leveled to each student’s current academic status as revealed by the initial assessment. At the end of each tutoring session, our tutors provide the student’s parents with a session review. Tutors on Wheels also provides periodic student evaluations and progress reports to keep instruction current and to ensure that parents are kept informed as to their child’s progress. In the future, Tutors on Wheels will be instituting a new online program that will help parents to develop their own tutoring skills.

Meeting our students’ needs:

Tutors on Wheels always works hard to match our tutors to meet the client’s needs. We take into consideration the student’s academic requirements and goals, learning styles and preferences, geographic location, and schedule. We offer one-on-one tailored instruction and test preparation. This year, Tutors on Wheels is also providing online tutoring that will allow students to reach out to a tutor from any computer at any location. The online tutoring portal will ensure that our students receive the academic help that they need at their own convenience. Furthermore, our tutors are willing to work with students and parents in creating a schedule that is beneficial to all parties involved, especially the student first and foremost.

The Tutors on Wheels instructional method components – blended instruction, homework support, and online tutoring – all combine to ensure that our students and their families receive the best and most affordable tutoring services in the New York City area.
