Applying for Tutoring

Kara Tutoring is proud to offer FREE SAT, SAT II, ACT, AP, IB, GCSE, A Levels, TOEFL, IELTS, Egzamin ósmoklasisty, Class 10 CBSE, WASSCE, & general subject tutoring to financially disadvantaged students. We are searching for more deserving students to take part in our program!

We offer our students one-on-one Zoom sessions, in which we teach new content, go through practice tests, and most importantly, go through different strategies for the test or essential content for your class. We measure our success on how much you improve by. Thus, we do not set limits on how long you can stay in the program.

We are currently experiencing higher-than-normal application volume due to extenuating circumstances globally as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent school closures in certain parts of the world. As a result, we are facing a severe shortage of tutors and can no longer accepting applications for tutoring. Please check back frequently, as we have every intention of reopening applications as soon as possible. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Please note that we have limited tutoring capacity for TOEFL, IELTS, & WASSCE. Expect wait times of at least 3 weeks. Thank you for your patience.
