Visit the center
The Barrington learning center on West Main Street
Sessions here happen away from the pile of distractions waiting at home. Your student works one-on-one with the same tutor each week, and you get a straight answer about what is going well and what still needs work.
Barrington is also the base for tutoring across Arlington Heights and the rest of the northwest suburbs. Families on the west side of the metro can look at the Wheaton center instead.
