A closer look

What one on one tutoring actually looks like.

Strategies, review sessions, and study skills, built around your student’s learning style and the gaps underneath the grade. Students preparing for a test date can also join the SAT bootcamp waitlist for small-group prep.

Graph paper with pencil-worked algebra and calculus problems, the foundational math skills Lily’s Tutoring Services rebuilds with Maryland students

Foundational skills, rebuilt

A grade is usually the last thing to tell you a student is lost. Working one on one we can find where the learning actually broke down, close that gap first, and then come back to the current unit with nothing left to fall through.

A student essay draft marked up with revision notes, the writing support Lily’s Tutoring Services gives Maryland students from middle school through college

Writing that sounds like your kid

We don’t rewrite the essay for them. Students learn to organize a draft, tighten the argument, and edit their own work, from middle school essays to college applications.

An SAT prep workbook and bubble answer sheet, the test strategy Lily’s Tutoring Services builds with Maryland high schoolers

SAT strategy, not drills

One on one test prep keyed to the questions your student actually misses, plus the pacing and test-day strategy that recovers easy points.

A color-coded weekly planner, the study skills and organization Lily’s Tutoring Services builds with Maryland students

Study skills that stick

Planning, organization, and follow-through, built alongside the subject and around your student’s learning style so the habits stick after tutoring ends.

Who we help

From middle school through college, and every grade in between.

A traditional classroom splits one teacher across a room full of kids, so personalized tutoring is mostly about undivided attention: one tutor, one student, and a learning environment built around how that kid works. Tutoring sessions run through the school year, and elementary school math is available by request.

6-8
Middle school

Middle school is where the learning gaps start. One on one sessions keep kids on top of their courses and rebuild confidence before high school raises the stakes.

9-12
High school

Our busiest years: Algebra through AP calculus, SAT prep, and college-prep writing, plus the study skills to juggle that many courses at once.

13+
College

College students come to us for calculus, statistics, physics, and writing, usually for a required course standing between them and their major.

Not sure which subject your student needs most? Contact a tutor and bring that question to the free consult. Lily will help you figure it out. Tutors looking to join the roster can see how we hire tutors in Baltimore.

"Lily worked with my son in the spring of his junior year as he prepared for the AP Calculus AB exam and the SAT. She was professional, knowledgeable, connected with Natan and engaged him in his learning. She definitely boosted his content mastery and exam scores for BOTH tests."

"Lily has been tutoring my 8th grade son in Algebra and it’s made a big difference. He says she explains concepts very clearly. He understands more in 30 minutes with Lily than an hour of class. Lily has been very patient with him. Excellent tutor."

    Lily was very helpful; I am glad I found her when I was looking for a tutor for my child. She follows up on the progress of her students. I will recommend Lily’s 100% any time any day. Is a “10” on the scale of 1 to 10. Thank you for your help.

    Lily is a great tutor! Extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind as well as flexible with scheduling. She helped my son with some last minute tutoring to help him pass his 9th grade Algebra class. She worked with us to find times that fit into our schedule and when she was working with my son she explained things clearly and put together excellent notes for him to refer to when needed. He enjoyed working with her. We plan to continue to work with Lily throughout my son’s academic career.

    We have been using Lily’s Tutoring for the past two school years to help the grandson with math. The attention is personalized to his needs and Ms. Rose has been flexible in the sometimes changing schedule from the teenager and the AACPS system. Lily’s has helped turn the grade around from failing to passing and increased the basic understanding of the subject. I would recommend this service to anyone in need of tutoring.

    Lily is so very helpful to my son Jonathan, since she started tutoring him in calculus he has maintained an A average. He does not only help him academically, she also looks at his social skills and how he is doing in his other classes. She advises Jonathan and me and his mother on strategies that could benefit Jonathan in his education. I 100% recommend Lily as a tutor and mentor for students and a helper for parents.

    Rose, from Lily’s Tutoring Services, did a great job helping our son pass a math class required for a University of Maryland College Park Limited Enrollment Program. He needed a certain grade and working with Rose over four sessions got him there. He’s clear that he would not have made it without the extra instruction. Rose was flexible, responsive, friendly and effective.

    Lily did an amazing job of meeting my son where he was and getting him where he needed to be. She’s positive but realistic, talks a lot about the “why” and intrinsic motivation, and uses humor to keep even the most frustrating subjects lighthearted!

    Lily is a wonderful tutor! She worked expertly with our 6-year-old both on Zoom and in person. Our child looked forward to her sessions with Lily and we often found her practicing what she was learning with her on her own. Lily has a real knack for getting information to stick and was so encouraging of our daughter in each session. We highly recommend her!

One on one tutoring FAQ

The questions parents ask about tutoring.

Want a specific subject in depth? See Maryland math tutoring, or browse tutoring prices in Maryland.

What is one on one tutoring?

One on one tutoring, also written one to one tutoring, is one student and one tutor for the whole session, so every minute goes to that student’s questions. The tutor sets the pace from what your kid actually knows, which is how a one on one tutor can surface a learning gap in a session or two that a full classroom rarely has time to catch. That is the whole case for personalized learning: the hour adapts to the student.

Is one on one tutoring worth it?

It depends on what is going wrong. Group tutoring splits an hour among everyone in the room, while one on one tutoring spends the whole session on one student’s learning gaps, so it suits a student whose problem is a specific gap or a confidence issue more than general practice. You can book a single session and judge it yourself before committing to anything.

What subjects does your one on one tutoring cover?

Every subject is taught one on one. Math from Pre-Algebra through college calculus and differential equations, including honors and AP statistics, plus SAT prep, writing from middle school essays through graduate and professional work, executive functioning, and physics through intro-college courses. If your student’s course falls in that range, ask - odds are good we have a tutor who covers it every week.

What grade levels do you work with?

We tutor students from 6th grade through college. Most families come to us with middle school and high school students, and we also support college students in math, statistics, physics, and writing. Executive functioning is built for older teens and adults. Elementary math and other subjects are available by request, so ask on the consult call.

How do you match a student with a tutor?

You name the class, and Lily picks from the roster herself: the tutor who knows that course cold and whose personality fits your student. You’ll know your tutor’s name and the courses they cover before the first session, and if the fit isn’t right, tell us and we’ll re-match.

Is one on one tutoring online or in person?

Both, in person or online, and we’ll recommend the right format on the consult call. Online tutoring over Zoom reaches students across Maryland and beyond, while in-person runs in central Maryland (Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Howard County), depending on each tutor’s schedule.

How much is a one to one tutor?

A reasonable price for tutoring per hour depends on the subject and how advanced the work is. Ours start at $75 an hour and run to $145 for SAT and AP-level work, and you hear your exact number before anything is scheduled. The full breakdown by subject is on the tutoring prices in Maryland page.

How often do students meet with a tutor, and for how long?

Generally, students meet with their tutors for 1 hour per week. Both frequency and duration can vary based on exams and deadlines. Sessions can last up to two hours, in 15-minute increments, and be as frequent as three times a week or as occasional as once a month. Since there are no contracts, you can book the sessions you need when you need them.

Do you help with study skills, not just the subject?

Yes. Even in subject tutoring, the academic support runs alongside the math or the essay, so tutors work on how to study while they teach the content. For students whose real gap is organization and follow-through rather than content, our Hacking Your Potential executive functioning track is built for that gap.

Where do I start?

Start with a free consult call. Tell us which class, which grade, and which deadline, and Lily will recommend the right tutor. Most families go from that call to a first session in about a week to ten days.
