Is your child struggling to keep up in class? Are you considering trying tutoring to help improve their grades?

Has your child’s teacher suggested they may benefit from extra help to address learning gaps or difficulties in key subjects?

Does your child have one or more learning challenges, and you find yourself unsure where to even start in finding just the right tutor?

Have you tried tutoring your child previously but saw disappointing or underwhelming results, with little to show for the time investment?

Perhaps a past tutoring experience was boring or stressful for your child, and you found yourself having to drag them to each session?

Mastery in foundational subjects like reading, math, and critical thinking is key to long-term success, and the best way to achieve that mastery is through intense, focused instruction. But here’s the thing: intensive tutoring doesn’t have to be hard or boring. At Fit Learning St. Louis, we’ve crafted a 1:1 method that’s fun and engaging, capturing your child’s interest while delivering real and lasting results. Whether your student is struggling, excelling, or somewhere in between, our one-of-a-kind, science-based approach will help take their learning to the next level.

Intensity in Tutoring Matters – and Fit Makes it Fun

Research and experience show us that intense instruction, sometimes referred to as high-impact tutoring, works. At Fit, intensive learning isn’t about squeezing in as much content as possible or wearing kids out. Rather, it’s about making every moment count. Our fast-paced learning environment appeals to students through its high-energy instruction, short spurts of effort, and frequent feedback and praise. Each session is packed with purposeful practice that feels more like a game than traditional learning. As kids work toward skill mastery, they experience personal-best “victories” in real-time. That sense of progress keeps them excited and motivated. The intensity of Fit’s instruction – typically four to five days per week for 50 minutes – is especially effective at helping students understand and retain concepts.

Fit’s approach is designed to help students master new skills quickly and efficiently — and they enjoy doing it. We integrate game-like elements and positive reinforcement, making it easier for students to stay focused and feel a sense of accomplishment after each session. The result? Kids walk away from each lesson feeling confident, energized, and eager to return.

Through this method, Fit Learning delivers results that are hard to match: 40 hours of instruction packed with enough focused learning to generate 1 to 2 years of academic growth. This doesn’t just apply to students struggling in school. Any child can benefit from our targeted instruction and personalized learning programs.girl excitedly raises her hand in class, having gained confidence and academic skills from high-impact tutoring in St. Louis at Fit Learning

In a nutshell, we know that your child’s schedule is packed with sports, hobbies, and social activities — but none of these will have the long-lasting impact that academic success will. By prioritizing intense, focused (and fun) tutoring sessions now, you are making an investment that will pay off in improved academic performance, greater confidence, and a strong foundation for the future.
