Our story

We built Camp Homework because every child deserves a tutor who actually shows up.

A small, mission-driven team that believes consistent support — not expensive one-off sessions — is what actually moves the needle for kids.

Our story

Born out of COVID.
Built for access.

I'm an entrepreneur, not a former teacher. But you don't need a teaching degree to recognize when a child is slipping through the cracks. I watched it happen up close — a kid I cared about, falling further behind in school, while their parents exhausted every option they could find and afford. The tutoring services that existed were either priced for families with $150 an hour to spare, or so inconsistent that the child ended up with a different person every few sessions. Neither worked. I kept thinking: there has to be a better way.

When COVID hit, the problem got impossible to ignore. Classrooms went remote, learning gaps multiplied overnight, and millions of families suddenly needed academic support they couldn't access or afford. I built Camp Homework around one core belief: consistent, affordable, one-on-one tutoring shouldn't be a luxury reserved for wealthy families. Every child deserves a tutor who actually knows them.

We work with educators based in the Philippines — some of the most dedicated, credentialed, and genuinely caring teachers I've encountered anywhere. This isn't outsourcing for the sake of cost — it's a deliberate decision to build something that creates meaningful work for talented educators while keeping tutoring accessible for American families. And a portion of every membership supports students in under-resourced communities.

If you're reading this, you're probably a parent who's worried about your child. That's exactly who Camp Homework was built for. We start every family with a free assessment because we want to earn your trust before we ask for anything else. No sales pitch, no pressure. Just a real conversation about your child and how we can help.

Dedicated learning coordinator for every family

You'll always have a real person to talk to — not a chatbot or a support ticket.

A portion of every membership gives back

We donate to educational access programs for students in under-resourced communities.

What we believe

Four things we'll never compromise on.

The right tutor match

We don't assign randomly. Every student is matched based on their subject needs, learning style, and schedule — and we'll change the match for free if it's not working.

Consistency over everything

A different tutor every week teaches nothing. We give every child the same dedicated person every session so the relationship can actually build.

Parents stay in the loop

You shouldn't wonder if your child is progressing. Your Learning Coordinator checks in regularly and shares updates so you're never left guessing.

Affordable for real families

Private tutoring shouldn't be a luxury. Our memberships start at a price real families can sustain — because inconsistent tutoring from financial pressure helps no one.

Our mission

Great tutoring shouldn't only exist for families who can afford $150 an hour.

A portion of every Camp Homework membership goes toward supporting students in under-resourced communities — because the kids who need the most help are often the ones with the least access to it. When you join Camp Homework, you're not just investing in your child. You're part of something bigger.
