A Parent's Experience with Stryv Academics

A Parent's Experience with Stryv Academics

February 18, 2025

I've had the privilege of closely following the academic journeys of many of our students, including those of Leontine, a dedicated mother of two middle schoolers who have been with us for the past two years. Recently, I reached out to her directly to hear her feedback, as her family's experience with Stryv has always stood out to me in our community.

During our conversation, Leontine shared insights that were both affirming and invaluable for the continuous improvement of our  services. She explained how our tutors had tailored their approach to meet the distinct needs of each of her children. For her son, it wasn't just about keeping up with homework but ensuring deep understanding and additional practice. "The tutors made sure he grasped the material thoroughly," she noted, "and provided extra problems to reinforce his learning." This is exactly the kind of dedicated and personalized support we aim to provide at Stryv.

For her daughter, who was already excelling in math, our tutors helped challenge her further, pushing her to tackle more complex problems that stretched her capabilities. This adaptability in our tutoring approach is crucial to helping each student reach their full potential.

Leontine also praised the relatability of our tutors. She appreciated that our student tutors, who had recently navigated similar academic challenges, could connect with her children in a way that was both meaningful and effective. This peer-to-peer approach is central to our philosophy at Stryv; it fosters a learning environment that is not only educational but also empathetic and engaging.

She highlighted the proactive and comprehensive support our tutors provided, which extended beyond academics to include advice on study tools and strategies. This holistic approach is something we pride ourselves on—it ensures that our tutors are not just educators but mentors who contribute significantly to our students' overall academic and personal development.

It's discussions like these that fuel our passion and commitment to enhancing educational experiences and outcomes for all our students. We continue to learn from them just as much as they learn from us.
