Our Philosophy & Practice

Proudly assisting clients in our home region of Hampton Roads, VA and beyond, our private tutoring practice serves students and professionals of all ages and stages through one-on-one appointments tailored to individual needs and goals.

Our approach is grounded in three core beliefs:

  1. Everyone has their own path to success.
  2. Building confidence is a vital step on the way to content mastery.
  3. Taking the time to truly learn each person's preferences and ways of processing information is the foundation of a meaningful tutoring, coaching, or mentoring relationship.
These beliefs guide every aspect of our work. We recognize, respect, and celebrate the individuality of each person we serve. By infusing compassion, understanding, and patience into every appointment and valuing client voices when setting focus areas, we meet clients where they are to build meaningful relationships that offer not only instruction but encouragement.

Most services are offered by founder Amy Carpenter, M.Ed. A small team of experienced and caring tutors assists with additional subjects and specialties. We specialize in remote services, with limited in-person support available in select locations.

We are ready and excited to serve you as you discover your path to success. Contact us today to begin your journey.

Amy Carpenter was an outstanding tutor for my 8th grader in Algebra I. She was patient, encouraging, organized, and very fairly priced for a one hour session from the comfort of our home (via zoom). I would rate her services at 10/10 and recommend her to anyone in need of tutoring services.

Amy Carpenter is an amazingly gifted tutor. She is kind, patient, potisiv[e], encouraging, and supportive. She treats all of her students with respect and never makes them feel "lesser than" or that their questions are "stupid." She has made a huge difference to our lives and our family is very thankful for her expertise and support!

Amy does a great job at keeping our son on task and ensuring that he does not miss any assignments or important deadlines. I value Amy’s level headedness the most in our interactions as I feel like I can accidentally slip into anxiety mode with my son when he has hiccups and Amy has been a great resource in helping me check my emotions as she calmly assures me that he [is] staying on track with his studies. Amy has also gone above and beyond by helping our son contemplate his next stage with regard to graduate school or entering the workforce which is definitely still a "work in progress". I can wholeheartedly recommend Amy and have already done so many times to friends and family.

So glad we found Amy! I have seen my daughter's confidence and grades improve since Amy started tutoring her. She meets my daughter at her level and helps her grow. Can't say enough good things about her!
