Satisfied clients:
6/14/2020 - "We loved working with Todd and Next Level Up Tutoring to find a tutor for our 4th grader. He paired us with a great teacher, Mike in no time. Having Mike was a God-send, especially as we moved to virtual learning mode. I was pretty impressed that he was able to help our daughter with Math, reading and spelling all in a matter of an hour. We saw an improvement in her Math skills over the year and I believe it was because of the extra help she received through Next Level Up Tutoring." - Smitha M. Medfield, MA

6/21/2020 - "We have beed so pleased with our experience with Next Level Up. Our son was matched with fantastic tutor. He went from crying during math homework time to looking forward to it! We love listening to the two of them working together. Julian really brings out the best in our kiddo. He knows how to relate to him and is calm and motivating. We could not ask for more!" - Jameila H. Newton, MA

UPDATE
The Governor has put into action a 4 phase plan to reopen businesses in our fine state. We are currently in Phase 1. Our Learning Center in West Boylston, MA will open its doors in Phase 3. Hopefully that will be around August if all stays according to plan, and Governor Baker doesn't need to hold back on moving forward. The plan to open schools in the Fall haS not been solidified because it is too far out to make that call. When school gets back in session, regardless if the learning will be remote or in the classroom, it will be up to parents' comfort levels whether they will want the convenience of tutoring in their homes.

FOR THE TIME BEING, AS WELL AS THE NEAR FUTURE, NLU WILL CONTINUE TO EMBRACE THE ONLINE PLATFORMS OF SKYPE AND ZOOM TO MEET WITH OUR STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE.

CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
The word has been passed down from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) that school districts throughout the state are required to provide their students resources/work/assignments/enrichment opportunities to work on while school is not in session. It is true that districts cannot grade or require students to complete the work. Here at NLU we feel that the schools will be closed past the original date of April 7th presented by the Governor. Next Level Up Tutoring understands its vital role in maintaining the continuity of learning for our students as well as any student out there who needs/wants academic support during this unprecedented time in our world of education. We feel that all students should look at this as an opportunity to take control over their learning. Next Level Up Tutoring can play a huge role by providing ONLINE TUTORING SESSIONS THROUGH SKYPE, FACETIME, ZOOM, GO TO MEETING, or any other virtual or remote method.
