Tutoring fit for your student’s needs

We create a tailored plan for your child’s unique personality, learning style, and goals.

On any given day, a Kay Tutoring tutor might be highly energetic with one student who simply adores school and cannot wait to be challenged more, while being patient and gentle with another student who has just started tutoring because of poor grades or a disappointing test score. Everyone is different, and we value and honor those differences.

In-person & remote tutoring options

Whether you’re in the Minneapolis metro area or in Juneau, Alaska, we can meet your student where they’re at in their academic journey.

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your wisdom, guidance, and reassurance for my son and me. It was wonderful to see you congratulating him for the great strides he's made in his last semester in your ever so upbeat, honest and encouraging way. It meant a lot to him to hear that - it gave him some hope as he was getting discouraged that he still was falling short. We are grateful, humbled and honored that you are working with our son on this crucial juncture in his life!"
