About Us Top Flight Tutor
Our Mission
Top Flight Tutor exists to empower learners in Mount Dora and beyond with the personalized support they need to reach academic success, build confidence, and develop lifelong skills. Since our founding in 2017, we have combined expert instruction, measurable outcomes, and a family-focused approach to create meaningful academic progress for students at every level.
Who We Are
Top Flight Tutor is a specialized tutoring service based in Mount Dora, Florida. Our team includes experienced math tutors, literacy specialists, and test preparation experts who bring classroom teaching experience and a passion for student growth. We work with elementary, middle, and high school students, adults preparing for GED exams, and college learners seeking writing support.
Our Philosophy
Education is not one-size-fits-all. We approach teaching with the core belief that instruction should be tailored to the learner. We emphasize:
Diagnostic assessment: Identify the root causes of difficulties rather than only addressing surface errors.
Evidence-based methods: Use explicit instruction, spaced retrieval, and active practice.
Confidence building: Success grows from small wins and predictable progress.
Family partnership: Communicating regularly with parents and caregivers ensures alignment between home and instruction.
Skill transfer: We focus on metacognition and study skills so gains last beyond tutoring.
Our History
Founded in 2017, Top Flight Tutor began with a simple idea: students deserve tutoring that is organized, accountable, and specific to their needs. Over the past years we’ve refined our assessment tools, grown our tutoring team, and built systems that deliver consistent progress for diverse learners. We’ve supported students through classroom remediation, accelerated learning, and high-stakes testing preparation.

Our Team and Tutor Selection
Each tutor at Top Flight Tutor is selected for subject expertise, instructional skill, and the ability to connect with students. Selection criteria include:
Subject-matter proficiency in mathematics, English language arts, or test prep content.
Classroom or tutoring experience with measurable student gains.
Strong communication and rapport-building skills.

Once selected, tutors receive orientation on our diagnostic tools, lesson planning best practices, and our approach to progress monitoring. We emphasize consistent lesson structure: warm-up and review, focused instruction, guided practice, and independent application.
