  I contacted Grade Potential Tutors requesting a tutor for my special needs child (autistic, verbal) for three one-hour sessions per week. I clearly communicated these requirements from the start. Despite this, the tutor assigned to us was only available two days a week—contradicting the original agreement. We conducted one session, which I personally observed. My daughter was enthusiastic, engaged, and cooperative. There were no issues. However, on the day of the second scheduled session, the tutor abruptly canceled via text, stating that my daughter should be reassigned to someone “who specializes a little more with special needs.” This was both inaccurate and unprofessional. When I attempted to cancel services, the representative tried to rush me off the phone and defer the matter to someone else. Only after I insisted on staying on the line did they process the cancellation. This company misrepresented its ability to meet our needs and handled the situation with a lack of care and professionalism. I would not recommend their services, particularly for families seeking support for special needs children.

  We are very pleased so far with our son’s tutor, Brenda. She is absolutely wonderful and very patient. She made our son feel supported and heard. He understood the subject better after his first tutoring session and was excited to do the math work. Thank you for sending such a great tutor! We recommend Grade Potential Tutors.

  We are very happy so far with our tutoring match. She is patient , very knowledgeable, and explains the subject matter so that it is understandable. We look forward to working with Grade Potential for the rest of the year and all our tutoring needs.

  aboutsuley horrible company. grade potential promised matching my child with a tutor and said that they had "many" tutors in the area. this proved false and an extension was requested for the company to continue searching for a match. the extension occurred and still nothing. the company was quick to take my money and slow to deliver on promises.

  Company is a racket and a ripoff. They promise to pay you a certain rate, then they charge you $48 for your background check. Avoid working here. They owed me $60 for tutoring. They paid me $30. Chances are you won't break even for all the miles you drive and time you spend working. It's a negative sum gain all told.

  We needed tutoring for our fourth grader but didn’t know where to start. Grade Potential was recommended to us - and we are so grateful!! Their experience, background and large network eliminated the need for us to go searching and interviewing on our own. We were able to get started almost immediately! We described our child’s strengths and weaknesses, and they were able to match us with an amazing tutor. If the Tutor is not a good fit, you have the option to request another one. However, ours was amazing and a former educator. She evaluated our child and then set up curriculum that she would be using. That of course adjusts as weaker areas become stronger and she learns more about our child. She even went so far as to coordinate with our child’s school teacher, with our permission, of course to confirm areas of focus. We can’t say enough, great things about our experience and our Tutor.

  Grade Potential Tutoring (GPT) is trustworthy & talented. Recently, two of my grandchildren in high school have greatly benefited from the talented GPT tutors. I certainly will use GPT again. Also, GPT makes fair and prompt financial arrangements.

  My daughter was left hanging 3 different times by 3 different “tutors “ who were unqualified to teach her chemistry. Just because someone took and passed a test doesn’t mean they can teach! The tutors need to be vetted more thoroughly to assure that time and money is not wasted. I filed a formal complaint each time but the situations were not rectified before testing so my daughter suffered the consequences of their incompetence. I have since asked for a refund and was told they could mail a check but 3 weeks later and multiple calls ignored, I’m still waiting for my refund!! Terrible customer service and terrible service to the students!!

  I am absolutely impressed and happy with the service I got from Dylan. He is a proficient listerner and multitasker with exceptional listening skills. Thanks for listening to my needs and finding the right package to suit my needs. I am looking forward to enrolling and child!
