TESTIMONIALS
Grade Potential exceeded every expectation
"I signed up with Grade Potential Tutoring planning to use several sessions worth of tutoring for my class that I was having a hard time in but they matched me with such a wonderful tutor it only took one session before I found my footing in the class! She was incredibly patient and knowledgeable which really helped me solidify my understanding in my class."
"We have had such a pleasant experience with Tutor Hero. Everyone has listened to our needs and matched our adult daughter with the perfect tutor. Coming from someone who is a retired college professor, I know what great teaching looks like and Cheryl did an amazing job. Thank you and we hope to return in the future!"

Independence Tutors Come To You
One of the largest cities in the state, Independence can be found along the western border of Missouri. With a distinct Midwestern flavor, Independence is the county seat within Jackson County, and one of the more well-known and loved big cities in the entire state. Despite its larger size, Independence maintains a family friendly atmosphere, providing residents with access to all they may need to live a happy and healthy life.
An interesting part of Independence’s past is that it is the source of many famous trails throughout the history of the United States and the journey westward in the early to mid 1800s. Its nickname is the “Queen City of the Trails”, as it is the source of roads leading to California, as well as the Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail. Many pioneers and settlers of America’s early west came from Independence as a starting point to their journeys.
When it comes to famous residents, Independence is know for being the home city that Presidents Truman was from. Tourists will find the Truman Presidential Library and Museum in Independence to be a great place to learn more about our President, along with that time in our nation. The city is also known to be the burial ground for the late President and his wife.
Home to a large number of high quality museums, residents and tourists alike enjoy all of the rich history that Independence has preserved for generations to come. The National Frontier Trails Museum gives visitors a look into the migration to the American West and all of the pioneers that ventured from Independence to settle in the somewhat unknown region of the western United States. Another local favorite when it comes to museums is the Leila’s Hair Museum. Back in pioneer days, fancy jewelry and artwork was a luxury that many could not afford. Common jewelry-making supplies were not easy to come by, or affordable to many. Much of the jewelry of that time was constructed carefully and intricately out of human hair.
Served by four different school districts, families in Independence have access to a lot of options when it comes to educating their children. Private schools are also available for residents of Independence looking for a private school education. Known for having a great selection of educational options, families that live here are very satisfied with the quality of schooling available for their children. For kids who need a little extra one-on-one help, local tutors in Independence are available. These tutors can help young students achieve their goals in a wide variety of subjects.

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.

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.
