Achieving More, Together
Maplewood Tutors Come To You
When Maplewood, Minnesota, considered ideas to bring the community together, they turned to one thing everyone loves to do: laugh. With the partnership of Z Puppets Rosenschnoz, the City of Maplewood launched Kid City, a multidisciplinary youth task force that started in 2015 and uses laughter and creativity as tools to create a closer community and solve city problems. The program is funded by the Minnesota State Arts Board, the St. Paul Foundation, the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, and the Bigelow Foundation.
Z Puppets Rosenschnoz started when playwright Shari Aronson and street performer Chris Griffith discovered that (believe it or not!) ping pong balls glow in the dark. After adding costumes, sound effects, and quirky music, the Amazing Gnip Gnop Circus was born. Since then, the group has developed many other zany programs that all use imagination, creativity, and fun. Their original puppet shows and workshops are presented at outdoor festivals, museums, libraries, schools, and performing art centers. The troupe has won grants and countless awards from prestigious names such as the Jim Henson Foundation and Puppeteers of America.
Z Puppets injects this same fun and energy into Maplewood’s Kid City program, which tailors activities by age group. In some of the program’s first projects, fifth graders recorded laughter throughout the town’s neighborhoods, then created kiosks where the public can hear laughter and see a funny face gallery of city residents. Middle schoolers formed a Kid Council based on Brazilian artist Augusto Boal’s “Legislative Theater” methods and use theatrical play to discuss city problems and their real-life solutions, which are then presented to the City Council. High school students created a teen video team; these paid interns make mini-documentaries about Kid City activities and broadcast them on local community TV. These types of civic-focused extra-curricular activities, combined with the services of skillful Maplewood tutors to earn good grades, look really good on resumes.
Maplewood Kid City participants also team up for other activities, including the following:
– Laughter Labs: Creating laughter from jokes, improv, and silly fun
– Laugh-In: Swapping jokes to determine the funniest joke in Maplewood
– Happy Places: Using green screen video and a handmade toy theater to share happy places
– My City Parks: Creating miniature models of public parks that will then be presented to City Council
– WOW at Wakefield: Hosting an activity or booth at outdoor events in Wakefield Park.
Maplewood kids have proven that laughter is a great avenue to solutions and that it breaks down barriers between people. The best Maplewood tutors and teachers know that laughter can also be a part of a well-rounded academic learning program.

How does the process work?
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.
How is pricing handled?
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.
How soon can sessions start?
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.
Where do sessions take place?
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.
Are background checks performed?
Yes—safety is our top priority. Tutors complete screening through Simpliverified background checks, consistent with local requirements and platform standards.
What if the tutor isn't the right fit?
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.
What subjects and grade levels are 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. 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.

Often, yes! Especially when goals and levels are similar. There’s no additional cost for siblings to share sessions, so feel free share details in your intake so we can advise on the right tutoring package for you.
Do tutors coordinate with teachers or IEP/504 plans?
Yes! When families request it, tutors can review teacher notes, school portals, and accommodation plans to keep sessions aligned with classroom expectations.
