What is Stride Tutoring?
Stride Tutoring is a company that matches experienced and state-certified teachers with students looking to improve their academic standing. This arrangement has been created by a tutoring company that understands the needs of students, families, and teachers because Stride has existed for more than 20 years.
From the parent perspective, they encounter an easy-to-use and transparent platform that enables them to find and select a tutor. The personal biographies and previous ratings for each tutor are provided so that you, as a family, can make the best choice for your needs. As of the time of this blog, nearly 1100 reviews have been offered with an average rating of 4.93 (out of 5 stars).
For teachers, they have an opportunity to expand their impact on students by leveraging their existing content and instructional knowledge. The process allows you to tutor students at a time convenient for you and to make a little extra money for your family.

How Should I Take this Course?
You can tailor the experience based upon your needs as the design gives you control over the learning process.
Please expect to spend 3 to 4 hours for course completion as it has a lot of content, and you will want to pause for task completion along the way. If you need to stop and return at a later time, that is fine too. The platform will remember your progress and you can return to finish when it fits into your schedule.
Even though the course is mobile-friendly, we highly encourage you to utilize a laptop or desktop computer. That way, you can have additional tabs open so that you can work on your profile set up as you move through the training.
