“During the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic, it dawned on us that not only parents required assistance with taking care of their children’s education but also that there is a fundamental need for children to be taught with personal care and intentional attention. That is what the Elite Tutor aims to provide over and above for academic assistance.“
