Consistently voted best in its category by Arlington Magazine, Northern Virginia and Washington Family Magazine readers, Tutoring Club of McLean provides individualized academic assistance to students of all ages and abilities. “From early learning to college preparation, we are a dedicated and trusted partner for every step of the journey,” says Club Owner Michelle Scott.
Q: What are your top priorities?
A: Right now, it’s helping students catch up or get ahead, stay engaged and feel confident heading into the school year. Many parents don’t realize that students can lose up to 25 percent of their academic progress over the summer, so we’re dedicated to mitigating that with the right programs, people and structure in place. More broadly, I’m committed to upholding our core values, supporting our incredible staff and ensuring that our students meet—and exceed—their goals. Seeing a student master a subject they once struggled with or achieve a significantly higher SAT score after working with us is incredibly rewarding. And it’s the clearest sign we’re doing something right.
Q: How do you measure success?
A: Success looks different for every student—whether it’s a raised ACT or SOL score, an A in math after struggling, getting into the college of their dreams or fewer homework battles at home. We see it in growing confidence, renewed motivation and doors opening for new opportunities. And each win, big or small, signals real progress. We’re proud that so many families refer others to us. It’s the highest compliment. But truly, we’re in this for the kids, and there’s no better feeling than watching them thrive.
Q: What do you love most about doing business in this area?
A: The diversity. Working with students of all levels and from all backgrounds has sharpened my ability to meet unique needs and foster individualized growth. Being part of a close-knit, trusted community means we’re not just teaching—we’re empowering lives and building success stories together.
