Common questions
How does 1-on-1 tutoring work?
Pick your child's grade and the subject they need help with, then choose a Dojo Tutor for a 25-minute first class. Afterward, your tutor sends a learning plan built around your child's needs. You choose when classes happen, how many you want, and whether to try a different tutor. After every class, you'll get a summary, ideas for support at home, and updates on your child's progress.
