The process

How it works

A direct, educator-led approach to middle school math support.

1

A private consultation, at no charge

We talk about the student’s current math class, teacher expectations, recent assessments, what has already been tried and what feels difficult right now.

Take Two Tutoring is intentionally small and referral-led. If the fit is not right, we will say so before anyone commits to ongoing sessions.

2

Build a standards-informed starting point

Tennessee Academic Standards provide the grade-level foundation. Current classwork and assessments show where the student is relative to that foundation.

The goal is not to race through a standards checklist. It is to identify the knowledge and reasoning a student needs for the work in front of them.

3

Teach the current unit and the skills beneath it

Sessions focus on the material a student is being graded on—this week’s assignment, an upcoming assessment or the topic that did not land in class.

When a prerequisite skill is getting in the way, we address it directly so the student can make sense of the current unit rather than merely finish the next worksheet.

4

Continue with consistency

After the consultation, the tutor confirms whether ongoing support is a fit and explains the next steps for scheduling.

The same educator works with the student over time, preserving context from one session to the next.

Common questions

How long is a session?

One hour, one-on-one.

What subjects are available?

Middle school math is the initial focus. Select additional support, including ELA, may be available by consultation as the practice grows.

How are Tennessee standards used?

They clarify the grade-level knowledge and skills a student is expected to develop. Take Two Tutoring uses them alongside classroom work and assessment evidence to plan instruction for that individual student.

What is the cancellation policy?

Cancellation and rescheduling terms are confirmed during the consultation. Contact the tutor directly if an existing booking needs to change.

Are sessions online or in person?

Online. Your tutor provides the video-session details directly.

Can two students share a session?

Sessions are one-on-one. If you have more than one student, each books their own — both sit on the same parent account.

Do you guarantee a grade or a score?

No. Anyone who guarantees a specific grade is guessing about a classroom they do not sit in. What I will do is tell you honestly, after a few sessions, whether this is working.

What does it cost?

Current pricing is discussed during the free consultation before you commit to a session.

Still deciding?

The consultation costs nothing and there is no obligation after it.
