Bergen Tutors was started by a math teacher with 20 years of teaching and tutoring in Bergen County.
One thing kept coming up.
What parents actually wanted wasn’t a tutor. It was the right teacher.
Someone who understood their child’s school, knew the curriculum, and could be trusted. And finding that person was harder than it should’ve been.
Most of the time it came down to word of mouth. A guidance counselor sends an email. A parent asks another parent. Someone posts on Facebook: “Looking for a math tutor for my daughter.” And the comments start:
“Call Sarah.”
“I know someone.”
“Here’s a phone number.”
There are great teachers all over New Jersey willing to tutor, and thousands of families looking for them. There just wasn’t a good place connecting the two. So Bergen Tutors was built to be one.
Bergen Tutors is meant to make it a little easier to find a real, qualified teacher — one who understands your child’s school and knows how to teach. Not an anonymous tutor from a big marketplace. A New Jersey educator.
Teaching is a profession. Teachers here keep up with their certifications and their training year after year. This isn’t just someone who happens to be good at a subject. It’s what they do for a living. So as a parent, you can actually see who you’re choosing: their experience, their certifications, their school, what they teach. Hopefully that helps you find someone who makes sense for your child.
Teachers want to tutor closer to home too — not everyone wants to deal with Route 17 traffic to get to a session after a full day of teaching.
Teachers hear about opportunities through word of mouth too, the same as parents do. It shouldn’t have to depend on who happens to know your name. And it doesn’t sit right that a tutoring company would take a big cut of what a teacher earns just for making an introduction. Teachers do the teaching — they should keep what they earn. That’s the part Bergen Tutors was built to fix.
Parents are looking for great teachers. Teachers are willing to tutor. For too long, finding each other has come down to luck and word of mouth. Bergen Tutors is here to make that a little easier — for families looking for the right person, and for teachers looking for families nearby who need them.
