At Bootstrap Tutors, our mission is to offer the highest quality of tutoring and consulting. We're a small team of dedicated professors and teachers, not college students with high test scores or just well-intentioned individuals. We're founded on the core beliefs that there is no substitute for hard, one-on-one work with an expert teacher and that education should be radically transparent and inclusive.

We don't take shortcuts, because shortcuts don't work. We teach our students to master their subjects from the core concepts up. Every step along that long road is necessary, but we'll be with you all the way. We're called Bootstrap Tutors because "bootstrapping" typically refers to starting a self-sustaining process. That's our goal for every client.

We offer free consultations and straightforward rates and policies. We're based in Somerville, Massachusetts, but we provide in-home and virtual tutoring as well. Check out our blog for recent news and free advice.

Pull yourself up by the bootstraps!
