Smack dab in the middle of Montgomery County in Maryland is the city of Gaithersburg. This suburban community is located within the Washington D.C. metropolitan area. Known to be a diverse city that is home to a wide variety of people from different economic backgrounds, Gaithersburg has a lot to offer for people in many different walks of life.
Divided into different quadrants, Gaithersburg is separated into distinct areas with their own unique personalities and styles. The eastern district is called “Olde Towne”, with landmarks and old buildings with historic value. This part of Gaithersburg is the oldest, as the rest of the city has grown in more recent years and has a more modern vibe. On the other side of town in the west you’ll find the most affluent neighborhoods of Gaithersburg.
With roots that go back to the mid 1700s, Gaithersburg began as farmland. Flash forward a century, and Gaithersburg had more settlers, but still had a small town feel. As with many small towns in that time, the arrival of the railroad changed it all, and in the late 1800s the B&O Railroad brought a lot of quick growth to Gaithersburg and the surrounding area. By the middle of the twentieth century, Gaithersburg could no longer be considered a small town at all anymore; in fact it was upgraded to the status of “city”. This was a big deal for locals, especially those who had grown up in a much smaller town with a slower pace.
Due to its conveniently close proximity to Washington D.C., many people choose to live in Gaithersburg and commute to Washington D.C. for work each day. Thanks to the Washington Metro line running through Gaithersburg, it is easy to hop on for an easier commute. The Maryland Area Regional Commuter train, or “MARC” as locals call it, also serves the Gaithersburg area with a direct route to Washington D.C.
Families that live in Gaithersburg love it for a number of reasons, and one of those reasons is its high quality education system. Not only are the schools good, but there is quite a choice between a large number of elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools. For students that need a little more help, there are resources available, and parents in Gaithersburg appreciate having more options for their kids. Local Gaithersburg tutors are available to help students achieve their educational goals with one-on-one sessions in a variety of subjects.

Families share goals and scheduling preferences through a short intake. That information becomes a learner profile. Grade Potential then introduces your profile to a professional independent tutor whose background aligns. Once the tutor accepts, you’re introduced directly and sessions can begin.
Our packages are highly customizable based on your budget, preferred session cadence, time frame, location, and a few other factors. You’ll be presented with clear pricing before you begin. We support families in choosing the session length and cadence that works best for their individual situation; no hard sales tactics and no obligation to purchase a long-term package.
Typically within 2-3 business days, depending on subject, location, and schedule availability. Urgent timelines are noted in your profile so introductions prioritize your timing.
In-person at home or another convenient, quiet, safe location (like the local library). When families need flexibility, online sessions are also available.

Support spans elementary through college across all core subjects (math, reading, writing, science, languages) plus test prep (e.g., SAT/ACT, AP, GRE) and many electives.
