Besides a workforce made up entirely of Harvard graduates, Overqualified - "OQ" as it is affectionately known - employs a radically different philosophy. We believe our students should improve. We believe they should improve so much that eventually the student no longer needs the tutor. Our tutors are eager to work with students to inspire confidence and enthusiasm both for the task at hand and any future endeavors, ultimately striving for the student's long-term independence.

Our tactics at OQ tutoring depend on each individual student; for instance, if a child doesn't know the fundamentals in the Everyday Math curriculum - something not uncommon in the EM program - our tutors build into each session strategies to address lack of motivation, low self-esteem, and poor study skills - things which often prevent students from fulfilling their academic potential. In this regard, we are trying to teach the pupil not only the math curriculum, and the important of having a solid foundation, but also the process that is necessary to be successful over and over again; academically and beyond.

    Review of Overqualified Tutoring, September 02, 2009

    Brett worked really well w/ my son. He is very good at finding areas of interest and focusing lessons on those interests. He has a great deal of patience and understanding of what kids go through who are struggling with school. He works very hard at finding ways to increase understanding and organization. I highly recommend Brett as a tutor, he is well worth the investment.
