Tutoring
A tutor with an academy behind them
Some students are ready to move ahead. Others are preparing for a competition, starting a harder course, or trying to catch up.
Every session is taught from the curriculum Ardent has built over twenty years, the same one our classes use.
An established Ardent course
Most tutors have no curriculum of their own. Ardent does: the course sequence our classrooms teach, written and revised over twenty years. Your child previews the lesson, practices from our problem bank, reviews worked solutions, and spends the hour with a tutor on the parts that are hard. The hour is planned before it starts.

How Ardent tutoring is different
Most tutoring and Ardent tutoring look the same for the first five minutes. After that they differ, most of all in math, where our own curriculum runs the hour.
Teaches from whatever worksheet is at hand.
Teaches from the same curriculum our classrooms use.
Asks your child what they want to work on today.
Starts from what your child has already mastered on our K–12 pathway.
One tutor, working alone.
One tutor, with our curriculum, problem bank and records of where students get stuck behind them.
An hour a week, for as long as it takes.
A place in a real course sequence, moving faster or slower as the student is ready.
Learning happens only during the hour.
A lesson to preview before, homework after. The student arrives ready, so the hour goes further.
The help ends when the tutor leaves.
Tutoring and class teach the same curriculum, so a student moves between them without starting over.
Tell us the subject and where your student is, and we reply within one business day.
How sessions run
In person at 820 Roosevelt in Irvine, or online over Zoom.
Where a course has teaching videos, they are the lessons themselves. They are yours to watch before and after a session, as often as you like.
Online sessions are also recorded, so we can review our own teaching. In-person sessions are not recorded.
