Quest is run by a credentialed teacher who worked in the Alpine school district for years. Because of this wonderful relationship with local teachers, collaboration and communication are frequent on behalf of your child. Finding a collaborative effort between the classroom teacher and tutor is rare among tutoring centers.

Working in a professional environment is far more beneficial than having a tutor come to your house for several reasons. Household distractions are eliminated so the child's focus is on learning. At Quest, we have a multitude of professional materials at our fingertips to enhance and reinforce the curriculum. Additionally, rather than the small-group setting with "extra practice" materials offered elsewhere, the private 1:1 targeted tutoring at Quest results in measured academic growth and confidence in the specific areas needed by your child.
