Hoot's tutoring programs give students the rare opportunity to work 1:1 with a qualified teacher to improve their literacy skills. It is nearly impossible for every student to get this opportunity in the classroom with teachers significantly outnumbered.

We know that all students learn differently and through our tutoring, we create the opportunity for every student to access undivided attention with a Hoot Teacher who is deeply invested in their success.
