How it works

From first call to consistent progress.

01

Tell us about your student

A short call (or email) to understand your student's goals, class, and where they're stuck.

02

We match the right tutor

We pair based on subject depth, schedule, and personality — not whoever's free.

03

Sessions, on your schedule

Most students meet once or twice a week. We adjust around exams and busy seasons.

04

Stay in the loop

Hours, session notes, and direct tutor chat all live in your family portal.

Why Photon

A small practice, by design.

Photon Tutoring started as a small group of tutors I trusted, working with a small group of families I knew by name. That's still the goal: small enough that I personally know every student we work with.

We don't take on more families than we can serve well. Every match is intentional, every tutor is vetted, and every parent has a direct line to me when they need it.
