As college students who have endured the Howard County curriculum, we have experienced the subjects and their rigorous material. Our goal is for students to understand the material and be able to apply it in other areas of their lives. In addition, creating a good academic reputation sets students up for success in their lives. Here at S1 Education, we will help you improve and maintain your grades to help set you up for success.
We now offer summer tutoring that helps keep students academically ready. We prepare them for the topics they will cover in the next grade, review previous topics, and make it a nice interactive learning opportunity.
1️⃣ 1-on-1 Sessions — In Person or Virtual
Students can meet face-to-face in Howard County or log in online for the same interactive experience. We match each learner with the right tutor for their subject, schedule, and personality.
2️⃣ Customized to Class Content
No generic packets. We use your child’s current units, teacher expectations, and class materials so every session connects directly to what’s happening in school.
3️⃣ Local Tutors Who Understand the Material
Our tutors graduated from Howard County schools and know the exact curriculum and testing style. That shared experience helps lessons feel more natural and relatable.
4️⃣ Confidence Through Connection
We believe learning sticks when students feel understood. Tutors build relationships, not just routines, so students walk away feeling proud of their progress.
1️⃣ Essay Help & Application Guidance
We help students brainstorm, write, and edit essays that sound genuine—never scripted. Tutors guide students through the entire Common App, from the personal statement to supplemental questions.
2️⃣ Academic & Class Planning
We map out high-school schedules that show growth and balance. Students learn how to pick rigorous but manageable courses that align with their future major or interests.
3️⃣ Activity & Extracurricular Building
Our team keeps an updated list of real extracurricular opportunities, community service ideas, summer programs, and leadership roles for grades 6–12. We show how to choose activities that make sense for each student’s story.
