Why Parents Choose CTC for Online Tutoring

"My daughter has earned multiple perfect scores on high-stakes tests and has been accepted into top selective schools. I credit CTC entirely. What makes this program like no other is the critical thinking. It's not just about memorizing formulas or drilling practice problems—CTC teaches students how to think through anything. That is what opened every door for her."
— Ruchi Sharma, CTC Parent

Stories like Ruchi's are not the exception at CTC—they are the goal. Every student who enrolls gets the same research-backed, one-on-one attention built around how they learn and where they need to grow.

K–12 Online Math Tutoring, Reading Tutoring, and Test Prep—Personalized for Every Student
Most online tutoring programs teach students what to think. CTC teaches students how to think—and that changes everything. Every session is one-on-one, every plan is personalized, and every lesson builds the critical reasoning skills students need to succeed independently.

CTC's K–12 online tutoring program includes:

• 1-on-1 online math tutoring and reading tutoring for elementary, middle, and high school students—with a personalized learning plan built from a comprehensive assessment and updated as your child grows
• Online test prep for the ISEE, SSAT, HSAT, HSPT, ACT, SAT, and selective enrollment entrance exams—combining subject mastery with proven test-taking strategies
• Critical thinking development embedded in every lesson, so skills transfer across subjects, tests, and grade levels
• Flexible online learning available 7 days a week—sessions happen from home, on a schedule that works for your family
• Regular progress updates so parents always know where their child stands and what's next
• Data privacy and safety protocols that meet national standards

Stanford University Recognizes CTC's Tutoring Program Design
CTC has earned the Tutoring Program Design Badge from Stanford University's National Student Support Accelerator (NSSA)—awarded in 2025 following a rigorous, evidence-based review conducted by a third-party team of education leaders and experts. The Badge signifies the quality of CTC's tutoring program design and its alignment to Tutoring Quality Standards as assessed by researchers and practitioners.

"We are honored to receive this recognition from Stanford's NSSA," said Lemi-Ola Erinkitola, CEO of The Critical Thinking Child. "It affirms the program design standards we hold ourselves to every day—and the coaches who help students not just succeed academically, but learn to think for life."

Summer Tutoring and Online Test Prep Enrollment Is Open Now—Spots Are Limited
Summer is the most underused opportunity in a student's academic year. Whether your child needs summer learning support to prevent skill loss, online math or reading tutoring to get ahead before fall, or summer test prep for an upcoming ISEE, SSAT, HSAT, HSPT, ACT, SAT, or selective enrollment exam, CTC is enrolling now—and virtual summer tutoring slots are filling fast.

Every new student begins with a comprehensive assessment to build a personalized online learning plan. The first step is a free consultation—no obligation, just a real conversation about where your child is and where you want them to go.
