Personal tutoring, founded by Alexander Budko (UPenn graduate)
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.

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.

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.

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