Tutoring that makes it click.

Math, science, coding and test prep for students. Tech classes, certification prep and refreshers for adults. Everything taught one concept at a time until it actually makes sense, because the gap underneath is the real problem.

Who we teach

Built for where you are right now

Same academy, different plan. The approach changes with the student, their age and how they learn best.

01

Middle School

Grades 6 to 8

This is where the gaps start. We shore up fractions, ratios, pre-algebra and lab basics so high school does not become a scramble.

02

High School

Grades 9 to 12

Algebra through calculus, chemistry through physics, AP courses and college applications. Grades and test scores handled together.

03

College

Undergrad & returning students

Weed out courses, statistics, intro programming and lab work. Especially for students coming back to school after time away.

04

Adults

Career changers & lifelong learners

Tech classes, ASVAB and certification prep, and math refreshers. Taught for people with jobs, kids and a real schedule.

For adults

Support that fits an adult schedule

We work with adult learners too. Some are moving into tech, some need a certification or entrance exam score, some are finishing a degree they started years ago, and some want to feel confident with the everyday tools their job expects. Sessions are one on one and start from where you actually are.

Tech & Coding Classes

Start from zero or sharpen what you have. Built around a real project so you finish with something to show an employer.

  • Python
  • Web development
  • SQL & databases
  • Data basics
  • Excel & spreadsheets
  • Using AI tools well

Certifications & Exams

The math and reasoning sections that stand between you and the job. Timed practice and a study plan built backward from your test date.

  • ASVAB
  • CompTIA math
  • Teacher certification
  • Trade licensing
  • Civil service

Back to School

Returning after years away is its own skill. We rebuild the math you have not touched since high school and the study habits that go with it.

  • College algebra
  • Statistics
  • Gen chem
  • Placement tests
  • Note taking
  • Time management

Practical Digital Skills

For work, for a small business, or for peace of mind. The everyday computer skills that never got formally taught.

  • Spreadsheet formulas
  • Docs & email
  • File organization
  • Online safety
  • Personal finance math
  • Measurement & conversion

About

Built on one simple belief

Every student can improve with the right support.

The Good Tutor started as a tutoring business founded while I was a junior at the University of South Florida. It has grown into a space dedicated to helping students strengthen their skills, rebuild their confidence, and become more independent learners.

We specialize in math, science, STEM and test preparation, working with students who are struggling in a class, preparing for an important exam, trying to raise a grade, or simply looking for extra support.

Tutoring here goes beyond homework help. We work on study habits, problem solving, test taking strategies, accountability and confidence. The goal is not for a student to need a tutor forever. It is to get them to the point where they can say, "I can do this on my own."

I have been an educator for years, and sessions are shaped around the student in front of me. That includes students on the autism spectrum and other neurodivergent learners, where clear structure, predictable routines, extra processing time and explaining a concept more than one way are often what make it land.

Why we call it Grade Resurrection

Because a bad grade is not the end of it. Sometimes a student does not need to be told to study harder. They need someone to figure out where the disconnect happened, go back and rebuild the foundation, and work it with them until the grade comes back up.

Get started

Book a session

Two ways to work together. Pick the one that fits your week, then choose a time from the calendar.

Please wait for my confirmation before you count the session as booked. My calendar does not always catch everything, so I reply to every request by email to confirm the time. If you have not heard from me within a day, text or email me.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot

What ages do you work with?

Middle school through college, plus adult learners preparing for the ASVAB, a certification or a return to school. Roughly ages 11 and up.

Do you work with students on the spectrum?

Yes. Sessions are one on one, so the pace, structure and format bend to the student rather than the other way around. In practice that often means predictable routines, clear step by step breakdowns, extra processing time, and explaining a concept more than one way until one of them lands. Tell us what works for your student and what does not, and we will build around it.

Do you really work with adults?

Yes, and it is a real part of what we do. Adults come to us for tech and coding classes, ASVAB and certification prep, college courses after time away, and practical digital skills. Sessions are one on one, so nothing is paced for a classroom of teenagers.

Are sessions online or in person?

Both, on separate calendars. Online runs on Google Meet with a shared whiteboard, weekday evenings and Saturday mornings, and is open to students anywhere. In person runs weekday daytime hours in the Riverview and greater Tampa area.

I booked a time. Am I confirmed?

Not until you hear from me. The calendar takes the request, but it does not always catch everything on my end, so I confirm every session by email. If a day goes by with nothing from me, text or email and I will sort it out.

What is Grade Resurrection?

It is for a student who already has a bad grade or a GPA that is slipping. We find where the class stopped making sense, rebuild that foundation, work the homework together, and restudy the older material so the next test goes differently. It is hands on, and we work it side by side.

How long is a session?

Both calendars book 60 minute sessions. Small groups and test prep intensives can run up to 90, and those are arranged by email.

Can you just help with tonight's homework?

We will always help with what is due. But homework is the symptom, so we spend part of every session on the underlying skill so next week is easier.

How much does it cost?

Rates depend on format, subject level and how often you meet. Email us with what you need and we will send the options before you book anything.

How far in advance should we book for a test?

For the ASVAB, SAT, ACT or a certification exam, six to eight weeks gives us room to build score gains. Shorter timelines still work, we just narrow the focus.

What if we need to reschedule?

Give us 24 hours notice and we will move the session at no charge.

Do parents get updates?

Yes, for students under 18. Short session notes go out after each meeting covering what we did, how it went and what to practice. Adult students get the same notes sent directly to them.

Ready when you are.

Pick online or in person, choose a time, and we will take it from there.
