Frequently Asked Questions

• Can we hire you to do 1:1 tutoring for my child? 

Dr. Hong does not even have time to do 1:1 tutoring for my own kids. His time is better spent helping a group of kids rather than just one or two. 

• How to have you tutor my child? 

If your child makes one of the programs I'm affiliated with, such as Team Charlotte, Team USA for IMC, MIT PRIMES, Dr. Hong will be able to coach, tutor, or mentor your child in a team setting. Dr. Hong donates his time and money to these programs, so that they are affordable to everyone in need. Please keep in mind that these programs are highly selective, so your child has to work really hard to earn a roster spot. 

• My child is not yet at the level to participate in these selective programs, what shall we do?

Dr. Hong would highly recommend that you help your child form a study group with several other kids of similar level. Your child will learn from the peers and enjoy the organic growth.
