From the owner: At Bootstrap Tutors, our mission is to offer the highest quality of tutoring for academic subjects,…read moretest preparation, and college admissions. All of our tutors are experienced professors and teachers, not college students with high test scores. We're founded on the core beliefs that there is no substitute for hard, one-on-one work with an expert teacher and that education should be radically transparent and inclusive. We don't take shortcuts, because shortcuts don't work. We teach our students to master their subjects from the core concepts up. Every step along that long road is necessary, but we'll be with you all the way. We're called Bootstrap Tutors because "bootstrapping" typically refers to starting a self-sustaining process, and that's our goal. If we do our job right, soon you won't need us. We offer free consultations and straightforward rates and policies. We're a small business based in Somerville, Massachusetts, but we also provide virtual tutoring.
