Academic Excellence and Lifelong Learning
Tutoring from the American Pacific Northwest
The StudentCircle Approach
The best STEM tutor is a rocket scientist, passionate about education and equipped with the best resources in edu-tech. The best Writing tutor is a novelist inspiring young learners and trained in Common Core and State standards.
Inspiring Students
A tutor provides mentorship and inspires academic success. A tutor belives a student’s potential and guides them to that performance.
Tutors are mentors, life coaches, and teachers, rolled into one. We believe that the greatest service a tutor can provide is to build foundations for a life of learning.
StudentCircle tutors are people who are passionate about education but pursued other academic professions: rocket-scientists, poets, inventors, and the startup CEOs across the Seattle and Portland.
We use edu-tech to provide non-teachers with structure sufficient to support young learners’ education. The modern tutoring relationship succeeds based on the quality of the student-teacher connection.
StudentCircle tutors specialize in difficult questions: Why do I need to learn Algebra? When will this ever matter? Who better to answer that than the CEO of a busy startup? Connecting with students is the foundation for success that satisfies and transcends academic goals. By exceeding individualized standards, our children go further.
StudentCircle tutors teach children that the world is an exciting place of opportunity and potential. This work can change a life.
