Our Story
We teach a lot of things, but there’s one thing we know for sure. Learning is always more effective with another person: someone who can teach us concepts, coach us in strategies, and structure our time, sure, but beyond that, somebody who can open us to a dialogue of ideas, somebody who can get on our level, and somebody who can bring us to their own. We’ve taken this insight and applied it to our company itself. Our premise is simple. Forum is home to the country’s premier tutors not only because we have the only model in the industry that can attract and sustain them, but because we’ve created a community in which we all make each other wiser, more dynamic educators—to get our students the best results.
Why The Best Tutors Work With Forum
Model
Simply put, Forum is the highest-paying tutoring firm in the world. That allows us to attract and retain the tutors as a talent agency for the world’s top educators.
Community
Tutors in the Forum community turn to each other for notes about materials and best practices—and can refer to each other as well. That lets them build each other’s business in multiple ways while giving their students full support and opportunities.
Tools
Forum has developed a host of digital tools and resources that help tutors track their business and address student needs. Agencies worldwide use our app and test prep diagnostics to identify students’ challenges and customize to their needs.
Our Team
At its best, tutoring is academic mentorship. Beyond the imparting of skills and knowledge, it is the modeling of academic values, habits, and aspirations. As the country’s highest paying tutoring agency and most collaborative tutoring community, we recruit and develop our team with tutors who are not only subject matter experts—that much is a given—but also engaging, sensitive, and accomplished educators with whom lessons compound into meaningful and lasting relationships. Whether it’s the screenplay writer and director who can help her students see text as compositions, the physics professor who can relate a unit to his own lab’s cutting research, or the former Wall Street banker who can color an economics lesson with his own trade decisions, our tutors are all selected for their capacity to inspire, to coach, and to care.
Our Services
Academic Tutoring
Covering all subjects and ages from kindergarten through graduate school, Forum's academic tutoring is about not only success in school, but forming the foundation for intellectual and personal achievement. In turn, our academic tutors represent an exclusive collective of the educational world's premier talent, mentors who approach teaching as a craft. When your child works with a celebrated playwright who reveals literature as living composition or a physicist who connects classroom concepts to cutting-edge research, they experience education as it was meant to be: transformative, inspiring, and deeply personal.
Test Prep
We recognize that standardized testing success begins with sophisticated analysis. Covering all major standardized tests, our bespoke diagnostic approach identifies the nuanced patterns behind performance challenges—whether subtle grammatical misconceptions or perfectionist tendencies hindering fluency. We then craft individualized preparation strategies that align with your child's intellectual strengths and aspirations, turning test preparation into an opportunity for edifying foundational intellectual skills.
Special Programs
Through our Special Programs services, we support students in the skills beyond academic standardized test excellence to ensure that their work is optimally showcased for admittance to premier institutions. From college essay coaching through career preparation, we help students not only craft authentic and powerful personal statements that stand out to top schools, but also develop essential professional and interpersonal skills.
