WHY CHOOSE US
Why Choose Han Tutoring & Test Prep
After many years of tutoring math in the Greater Boston region, Founder Hey-Sung Han found that a standardized teaching approach is often not enough for successful outcomes in school. Many students benefit from a different teaching style and more personal attention. One of Hey-Sung’s strengths as a tutor is her ability to connect with each student on a level that some older adults or parents are not always able to. Her connecting and teaching skills bring proven results, and she has built a trusted name in her community. She uses her keen ability of connecting with her students to match them with tutors that are the best fit for each student’s unique needs. Several families have been with Han Tutoring for years, sending multiple children to her for assistance.
How are Han Tutors matched with students?
Han Tutoring believes that the key to success starts with the match between student and tutor. Each student is first evaluated through a personal assessment. Based on their learning style, personality, and skill level, they are matched with tutors that are the perfect fit for their individual needs. For example, students who have a hard time focusing may be paired with a tutor who can lead the sessions in a fun and engaging way while motivating the student to complete the given task. Students who want to further challenge themselves in an advanced subject may find their best match with tutors who have extensive experience teaching AP classes.
How are Han Tutors chosen?
Han Tutors must be masters of the subjects they teach, and they must be able to explain concepts in a clear and understandable way to their students. They have gone through a rigorous interviewing process and have been handpicked by Hey-Sung. Some are college students or recent graduates from selective universities who have tutored for years. Others are seasoned professionals or school teachers with extensive teaching experience. Whatever their academic or professional background, they share a passion for helping students achieve the success they deserve.
Where does tutoring take place?
All tutors at Han Tutoring are equipped with the latest technology to conduct interactive Zoom tutoring sessions. Our tutors use Zoom's interactive whiteboard, which is equipped with many tools to bring lesson materials to life! Many of our students prefer Zoom tutoring because they find it more engaging and convenient. However, for families who prefer in-person lessons, some of our tutors are able to meet at their student’s home or local libraries.
