Short answer? Just about everything. Long answer? We’ve got your student covered from Algebra to APUSH and everything in between. Whether your child is reading The Odyssey at Sidwell Friends or trying to survive IB Chemistry at Washington International School, our tutors are academic chameleons. We match each student with a subject-matter expert who not only knows the material but knows how to teach it, without making it feel like a second school day.

We tutor math (from fractions to multivariable calculus), science (biology, chemistry, physics), English (essays, grammar, literature), history (U.S., world, and how to survive DBQs), and even languages like Spanish, French, and Mandarin. We also help with executive function skills, because knowing what to do is only half the battle. We’ll help your child plan, prioritize, and prep like a pro. In short, if it’s on the syllabus, we’ve probably tutored it. And if not, we’re ready to start.

Absolutely. In Washington, D.C., where “challenging coursework” is basically a local sport, we specialize in helping students manage the demands of IB, AP, and honors programs—without turning into stressed-out zombies. From HL Math to AP U.S. History, we know the content, the format, and the pressure that comes with trying to do it all.

IB students? We’ve helped them unpack TOK essays, survive Extended Essay season, and conquer those brutal internal assessments. AP students? We’ve drilled FRQs, run timed practice tests, and even helped decode the College Board’s idea of a “straightforward” multiple-choice question. And if your child is in an honors program, trying to balance sports, violin lessons, and a rigorous curriculum? We help them keep their grades high and their sanity intact.

In short, we don’t just tutor for performance. We tutor for resilience, confidence, and the ability to write a killer thesis statement at 10 p.m. on a school night.

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.

We sure do—and not the glitchy, awkward kind. Our online tutoring is seamless, strategic, and just as effective as in-person sessions (sometimes more, because pajama pants are known to boost brainpower). Whether you’re stuck in traffic on Connecticut Avenue, traveling during the school year, or just prefer learning from the comfort of your kitchen, our virtual sessions keep students moving forward.

We use real-time video, collaborative whiteboards, and screen sharing to create an interactive experience that feels nothing like boring Zoom school. Our tutors are pros at keeping students engaged, focused, and actually learning—yes, even through a screen.

And the best part? Flexibility. We work around sports, rehearsals, debate tournaments, and the ever-unpredictable D.C. traffic. Online tutoring means your child doesn’t miss a beat, even when life gets hectic. It’s academic support that fits your schedule and your standards—and still gets results.
