EGR Tutoring was founded and run by an EGRHS student, Callie deGoa, after she realized through tutoring friends that everyone is capable of academic success, but that some students need extra help in finding the way they learn the best.
This business aspires to be beneficial for its younger students, tutors, parents, and community. For younger students, we want to build their academic ability and encourage their love of learning through a comfortable environment that students want to be a part of. For our tutors, it builds leadership skills and provides a well-paying flexible job opportunity. For parents, we want to form a trusted relationship dedicated to their child’s academic success. Finally, for our community, we desire to elevate the interconnectedness through the high school mentor connection with middle/elementary schoolers.
EGR has a legacy of excellence, and the pressure of achieving that can be crushing for students, to a point where they either give up, or pretend they know what they’re doing. EGR Tutoring strives to alleviate this pressure by creating an environment where it is normalized for students to seek additional help, whether that is for a weekly session, an occasional essay/project review, or a group study session before a stressful test. We believe that all students are capable of comprehension, but they will learn in different ways that may not be traditionally taught. We aim to assist these students in finding the best way for themselves to learn. Additionally, as this business is run by East students, they are familiar with the curriculum being taught to students; therefore, our tutors can more easily understand and relate to the students being tutored. Our vision for this business is to attain EGRHS tutors with a wide variety of talents, be easily accessible, affordable, and trusted by our community to effectively support and challenge students to reach their full academic potential.
"Excel" is a new program based on helping your child excel academically throughout the school year, starting with summer preperation; however, this summer work is aimed at appealing to the student through activities they enjoy such as games or competitions.

“My middle schooler was struggling in math and went to Callie with an E on her midterm report card. The first test after tutoring? A 93%! She's been getting A's and B's since we started. I think some kids just need a little extra 1:1 support, and Callie has been that for my daughter. She is both encouraging and effective.”
We are located in East Grand Rapids Michigan!
Most of our session will be done at the KDL Library in EGR, but we are flexible with location!
