Personal tutoring, founded by Alexander Budko (UPenn graduate)

From “I can’t”
to “I’ve got this.”

A tough class feels different when you have someone you can ask. We match middle- and high-school students with college tutors who know the course, explain it clearly, and make room for every question.

Alexander Budko, founder

We’ll help you find
the right person.

I started Northbridge Scholars in 2023, and we’ve since worked with more than 120 students. I’ve tutored families myself, so I know how much it matters for a child to feel comfortable with the person teaching them. Now we’re bringing Northbridge online. I still review our tutors and stay involved in each match.

01

Tell us what they need.

Fill out a short form, or book a free 15-minute call if you’d rather talk.

02

Confirm the match and times.

We’ll follow up by email with a recommendation. You’ll get the tutor’s background, relevant teaching experience, and available times before deciding.

03

Choose sessions, then get started.

Pay for the number of sessions you’ve agreed on. Start with one if you like. After each session, your tutor shares what to practise next.

Before you book

A few things
families ask.

For students and the people supporting them.

Do we need a call before starting?

No. A parent or guardian can complete the short form and arrange the match by email. The free 15-minute Calendly call is optional and is an introduction, not a tutoring session.

Can we choose how many sessions to buy?

Yes. Choose 1–20 sessions per payment. Standard rates are $79 for academic tutoring and $89 for SAT prep. Buy 5–9 of the same type for 5% off, or 10–20 for 10% off. Choose your quantity on our payment page after we confirm the tutor and schedule. Payment does not automatically reserve new times.

Who will teach my student?

Our tutors attend Stanford, Penn, Harvard, Cornell, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley, and Georgetown. We consider their subject knowledge, teaching style, and schedule when choosing a match. Each tutor must complete our credential review, interview, and teaching audition before being matched. We share your recommended tutor’s background before you book.

What if the first tutor isn’t the right fit?

Tell us after the first session. We’ll recommend a different tutor and provide one replacement session at no additional charge.

How do online sessions and updates work?

Sessions are one-on-one and 50 minutes long. Parents are included in scheduling and receive a brief update on what was covered, what needs practice, and what comes next. Sessions are not recorded by default; any recording requires advance parent and tutor agreement.

Can a tutor help with school assignments?

Yes. Tutors explain concepts and guide students through practice. Tutors don’t complete graded assignments or take tests for students.

What is the cancellation policy?

Give at least 24 hours’ notice to reschedule without a charge. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged. If your tutor cancels, we’ll reschedule or credit the session.
