Private Tutors in Chicago

Founded in Chicago on Northwestern University's campus in 2009, we began offering tutoring in the Chicago area in 2011.  Our tutors have graduated from Northwestern University, DePaul, Loyola, UIC, the University of Chicago and various other highly selective educational institutions.  All of our tutors are passionate about helping high school, college, and graduate school students succeed in school and on standardized tests.

MyGuru serves the entire Chicagoland area, so don't hesitate to contact us if you live in the city -  from River North to Lincoln Park to Lakeview -  in a northern suburb - like Wilmette, Winnetka, Glenview or Northbrook -  a northwest suburb like Arlington Heights, Palatine, or Schaumburg - or a southwest suburb-  like Downers Grove, Bolingbrook, or Orland park.

Our experienced instructors can meet you in a public place or, in many cases, in your home.

How much will private tutoring cost?

We pride ourselves on offering a rare mix of high quality tutors and affordable prices.  Generally speaking, we charge between $45 and $125 per hour for our tutors in Chicago. We then offer 5, 10, or 15% discounts for investing in 5, 10, or 15 hours in advance, and we do refund unused hours as well.  So you're never "locked in" to a large purchase of hours. Our goal is to empower you to improve your academic performance, not make you dependent on continually investing in tutoring support.
