Our students start at all ages from pre-kindergarten through adulthood.

This pie chart depicts the grade levels of students when they started tutoring, from pre-K through 10th grade. It doesn’t show the students who started in 11th grade, 12th grade or beyond – but we do have those as well. You can see that students started at all grade levels. More of them started with middle school or very young, in pre-kindergarten or kindergarten. Some of those 6th graders were preparing for Chicago’s Academic Center Admissions test, just as some of the little ones were preparing to be evaluated for CPS Talented and Gifted programs. It’s worth noting that of the students who started in pre-kindergarten or kindergarten, over half have stayed in tutoring for five or more years.



Yes, we do test prep. Yes, we support students with particular classes or challenges. We are also a long-term partner in enriching your children’s education. 

(Dr. Vann and Dr. Romano got their start at Ivy League Tutoring, which served Chicago’s South Side from 1983 to 2023. We founded Advance Tutoring to continue that mission, and this chart includes students who came to Advance Tutoring when Ivy League Tutoring closed.)
