Students TeamUP! for Report Card Relief

In-home Tutoring Boosts Grades; Confidence

Los Gatos, CA, March 15, 2005 - Over 95% of calls to TeamUP! Tutors, Inc., are from parents who want to help their children boost grades, manage homework or build academic confidence. Since opening a year ago, TeamUP! has met this demand by focusing on one student at a time.

"Report cards are coming home again. This means more parents will be looking for knowledgeable tutors to help their children over a hurdle," explains owner, Leon Baranovsky. "TeamUP! Tutors provides each family with an experienced professional whose background and expertise match their child's needs." Sessions take place in the student's home at a time that is convenient for their family.

The company's one-on-one, results-driven model is collaborative, with parents, students, tutors and teachers working together toward a common goal. Tutors facilitate sessions using school textbooks and assignments as well as appropriate supplemental materials.

With private tutoring from TeamUP! Tutors, clients frequently see their child's proficiency and grades start to improve in a matter of weeks. Parents and students identify academic needs, set priorities and determine scheduling. The duration of tutoring is at the discretion of each family with sessions ending whenever a student is ready to work independently.

Grateful parents are quoted on the company's web site. Some offer kudos for tutor patience, knowledge and the ability to adapt to various learning styles. Others credit tutor professionalism and subject expertise for higher grades, improved SAT scores, greater confidence and increased motivation. The mother of one student, whose grades climbed from an F to a C, declared, "we couldn't have done it without TeamUP! Tutors."

"The best part of my day is when I'm thanked for helping a student succeed," says Baranovsky. Since customer satisfaction is his highest priority, he guarantees it, promising to replace the tutor and give a free session to any parent who does not agree the tutor is a great match.
