How is Cardinal Education different from other tutoring services in D.C.?

We’re not a franchise. We’re not a learning center with fluorescent lights and pre-packaged lesson plans. We’re Cardinal Education—and we’re a little obsessed with doing things better. For over 20 years, we’ve helped ambitious students at the most competitive schools in D.C. not just catch up, but move ahead with confidence, clarity, and strategy.

Every tutor on our team is handpicked, highly trained, and matched carefully with your child’s learning style, academic goals, and schedule. We don’t use generic worksheets or one-size-fits-all plans. We create a tutoring experience that’s focused, personal, and—dare we say—actually enjoyable. (Yes, even math.)

Our results speak for themselves: higher grades, better organization, increased confidence, and kids who don’t dread their next big test. We work with students from Sidwell Friends, Maret, Georgetown Day, National Cathedral, and more. Basically, if you want tutoring that actually works and doesn’t bore your child to tears,  we’re your people.
