Revolution Prep is the most structured option on this list and the most expensive to start. Its tutors are employees rather than contractors, and it says fewer than 2% of applicants are hired; Distinguished tutors average 2,300 hours of experience and Premium tutors 7,500. Academic private tutoring covers 100+ subjects for grades K to 12 from $990, test prep private tutoring for the SAT, ACT, PSAT/NMSQT, SSAT and ISEE starts at $1,990, and group test prep with up to 10 students starts at $499. Students keep the same tutor, parents get a weekly video update, and an academic advisor oversees the plan. There is a refund within the first 30 days or 6 hours, and a score guarantee for students who meet conditions such as 20+ hours of tutoring and 4 practice tests. It is a poor fit for occasional homework help. We compared documented features and published prices only.
