I've used Tutero for 4 months so far for my 9th-grade son. It's seriously been nothing short of a miracle! My son does his tutoring without complaint and his grades have improved significantly.

How Does Homeschooling Work in Illinois?
Illinois treats homeschools as private schools, which means families have a high degree of flexibility and no requirement to register with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Parents are responsible for delivering instruction in the core branches: language arts, math, biological and physical science, social science, fine arts, and health and physical development. There is no mandatory standardized testing for homeschoolers, although families can opt into the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) or other national assessments if they want a benchmark. Most Illinois homeschool families build their own curriculum, often weaving in co-ops, online programs, and 1-on-1 tutoring to round out subjects they would rather not teach alone. Tutero fits into that model. Our tutors take ownership of specific subjects so parents can focus on the rest of the homeschool day.
What Does a Tutero Homeschool Tutor Actually Do?
A Tutero tutor becomes the subject specialist for one or more areas of your child's homeschool program. They plan lessons aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards, deliver them 1-on-1 over video, and adjust pace and difficulty to match your child's current level. That often means filling foundational gaps before moving forward, then accelerating once the basics are solid. Tutors share short summaries after each lesson so parents stay close to the work without having to teach the subject themselves. Common requests from Illinois families are math (especially Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry), writing, reading comprehension, science, and high school prep for the SAT and ACT. Tutors work with elementary, middle, and high school students across the full Grade K-12 range.
Can Tutero Support Families in Chicago, the Suburbs, and Downstate Illinois?
Yes. Because Tutero is online, the same quality of 1-on-1 tutoring is available whether you are in Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, Rockford, Springfield, or a small town downstate. Families in dense suburbs often use Tutero alongside in-person co-ops to cover specialist subjects. Families in rural parts of Illinois lean on Tutero more heavily, since high-quality subject specialists are harder to find locally. Either way, tutors work to your homeschool schedule rather than a school timetable, with morning, afternoon, and evening sessions all available across Central and Pacific time zones.
Do Illinois Homeschoolers Have to Take Tests or Submit Records?
No. Illinois is one of the more flexible states for homeschoolers. There is no requirement to notify the state, register a homeschool, follow a set curriculum, or submit standardized test scores. The expectation is that instruction is given in English and covers the core subjects to a level comparable with public schools. Some families still choose to keep a portfolio, attendance log, or end-of-year assessment for their own records, especially if a student plans to apply to college or transition back into a traditional school. Tutero tutors help with all of this. They can build a year plan, track progress against the Illinois Learning Standards, and provide written feedback that families keep on file.
How Does Tutero Match a Tutor to Your Child?
After a short intake call, our matching team pairs your child with a tutor based on subject, grade level, learning style, and any specific goals such as catching up after a transition out of school or preparing for the SAT. The first lesson is treated as a working session, not a sales pitch. If the fit is not right after the first lesson, we rematch at no extra cost. Most Illinois families settle on the right tutor within one or two sessions. From there, tutoring runs on a regular weekly cadence, with the option to add sessions during a tough unit or scale back during holidays. There are no contracts, no sign-up fees, and you are billed after each lesson.
What Subjects Can Tutero Cover for Illinois Homeschool Students?
Tutero tutors cover the full breadth of Grade K-12 subjects most Illinois homeschool families need. In math, that includes elementary arithmetic, pre-algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus, and high school Calculus. In English, tutors support reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and literature analysis. In science, we cover elementary science, life science, physical science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Tutors also support social studies, world languages, study skills, and standardized test prep including SAT, ACT, and PSAT. Lessons are mapped to the Illinois Learning Standards where relevant, and tutors will adapt to whichever curriculum or program your family already uses at home.
