"I am so happy to have gotten the tutor we did with Grade Potential. My daughter not only saw significant improvement but she was comfortable asking important questions. Our tutor was kind, patient, accommodating, and always had another explanation ready for my daughter when the first one didn't make sense. She takes her final tomorrow and couldn't feel more prepared!"
"Our tutor Madison is the best tutor we have ever had. She has helped our child bring her grades up tremendously! She works with our child on her level. She is just amazing!"
"I have been extremely satisfied with my tutor. She is very patient, kind and very experienced. She helped me really understand the material and I ended my term with all A's."
Fall is festival time in Missouri, when almost every city and town, or so it seems, shows its best colors. The City of Gladstone certainly does, with its annual Gladfest, voted “Best Annual Fair/Festival in the Northland.” Like other fall festivals, the event is a celebration of families and wholesome fun set against the backdrop of autumn-hued foliage and milder fall temperatures. Gladstone hosts its annual 3.5-day event in Linden Square in downtown Gladstone.
As if to whet the appetite for what follows, Gladstone starts off the festival on a Thursday evening with a kick-off party offering food, drink, and games. The festival continues in earnest on Friday evening. For the kids there are camel rides, bubble soccer, and barrel train rides, plus the normal carnival rides. There are also marketplace booths, craft booths, and a kids’ corner.
On a more serious note, the Gladstone Community Center sets aside space for a model train exhibit and “Remembering Our Fallen from Missouri” exhibit that are both worth viewing. Also on Friday evening is a contest to name a Gladfest prince and princess (for three- to five-year-olds) and a Gladfest Little Mister and Little Miss (for six- to eight-year-olds).
The winners of the contest get to represent Gladfest in a parade the next morning, which starts out Saturday’s events. Dignitaries, high school bands, floats, and wacky vehicles all vie for top parade honors, and winners are announced later that morning. There’s plenty to do the rest of the day, too. Besides a repeat of Friday night’s options, there is a dog pageant, a puppy kissing booth, a zoomobile, and a cake and cookie walk. There’s even a kids’ BBQ contest with three categories—hamburgers, brats, and pork chops—and grills and meat provided. Linden Square Stage becomes a revolving centerpiece all afternoon for dance, martial arts, and mad scientist performances. The city brings a selection of official vehicles, and kids get an up-close look at a fire truck, police vehicle, ambulance, snow plow, and/or street sweeper. At night, visitors can stay for a concert by a popular country band or two.
Sunday morning starts bright and early with a 5K run/walk, and the carnival atmosphere and rides continue that afternoon.
With a nickname like “Happy Rock,” Gladstone certainly knows a thing or two about having fun, as do the tens of thousands of visitors that come for the Gladfest. The tradition is continuing with the thirty-eighth annual Gladfest slated for September 29 through October 1, 2017.

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.
Experienced, professional independent tutors with strong subject knowledge and a track record of working one-on-one with students. Many hold degrees in their fields; some are certified teachers or graduate students with specialized expertise.
Yes—safety is our top priority. Tutors complete screening through Simpliverified background checks, consistent with local requirements and platform standards.
Just let Grade Potential know. Your profile can be introduced to a different tutor at no cost to you, and once accepted, you’ll be re-introduced so sessions continue without losing momentum.
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. If it’s taught in school, there’s likely a tutor with relevant experience. Adult learners can also benefit from tutoring services in a wide variety of subjects.
Most families choose 60-90 minute sessions 1-2 times per week. Cadence and length are set directly with the tutor to fit the student’s goals, pace, and schedule.
