I started Clutch Tutor in 2020 to bridge the gap for students who needed extra support in reading and math, especially during a time when education was disrupted for so many families. As a seasoned educator and parent, I saw firsthand how children were struggling to stay on track and how parents were searching for effective, personalized solutions.​ With my background in teaching and a passion for helping kids succeed, I knew I could make a difference by offering online tutoring that was flexible, engaging, and tailored to each child’s unique needs. Clutch Tutor was born out of my desire to empower students with the tools and confidence they need to thrive academically and beyond. Since then, I’ve been privileged to support families in building strong foundations for their children, one skill and one success at a time.
My daughter is 5 years old and just beginning to put letter sounds into words. Mrs. Parikh is an incredible tutor and has built up my daughter's confidence in her abilities in just the 3 week's they've been working together so far. Mrs. Parikh is patient and encouraging while using games and stories to help teach my daughter to read words and sentences. I wasn't sure my daughter would be ready for such focused school time, but this has been a terrific experience, thanks to Mrs. Parikh!
