Our Services
Act & Sat Prep
We offer a highly individualized approach to helping each student to progress from where he or she is to where he or she wants to be. We use diagnostic testing to gauge where a student is, we help students set target scores, and—through quality instruction and ample independent practice—we help our students to hit those targets.
Study Skills
Our tutors help students learn the skills, habits and attitudes necessary to be successful in high school and beyond, including effective time management, organization, and taking an active study approach to mastering material along the way (rather than last-minute cramming).
Subject-specific Tutoring
Whether it’s getting traction in Spanish III, untangling the mysteries of AP Chemistry or Calculus, or learning how to be an effective writer across the disciplines, The Whole Kid has tutors who specialize in supporting students efforts in every high school subject at every level.

Meet the Founder
When I left a teaching job I loved to be home with my young children, I was worried I’d really miss the classroom. And then I had the good fortune of meeting Rory, my first private student. Almost instantly, Rory helped me to see that the one-on-one nature of tutoring would allow me to teach each student in the ways that best helped him or her to make sense of the material.
Before long, more and more parents came to me seeking help for hardworking kids who were nonetheless struggling in school. Increasingly, these requests were in areas outside my expertise.

Success Stories
Your skills in preparing our daughter for the PSAT/SAT and college essays were outstanding!
Michele S., Hawken parent
Working with Mr. Tibbitts has been one of my best academic experiences of all time. With his knowledge and guidance, I developed a great perspective on lots of new ways to look at novels and writing, and it was really an amazing year!
Alexis Christie, Chagrin Falls HS ’20
Tim Tibbitts has the unique ability to build a relationship with a student. The bond he creates helps students succeed.
Anna Dombrovskaya, Kirtland
The most important thing that I took away from our sessions was a method for approaching the test, something that I didn’t have before.
