Frequently Asked Questions...

What is Skill Haven?

We provide a network of premium, in-home academic support to local grade school students. As a Skill Haven mentor, you go beyond just helping with homework—you become a trusted role model. You will inspire local youth, build their confidence, and help them unlock their full academic potential.

What are the requirements before being matched with a family?

Before your first booking, you must complete the following steps:

  • Attend a virtual introduction call
  • Provide academic background information
  • Submit contact information for a professional reference
  • Undergo a background check

I have a heavy class load. How flexible is the scheduling?

Extremely flexible. We know your classes and exams come first. You set your availability, and we only match you with families whose needs align with your schedule.

Do I need to be an Education major to apply?

Not at all! Whether you are studying engineering, business, liberal arts, or sciences, we are looking for passionate, knowledgeable students who communicate well. We provide the resources and ongoing professional support you need to succeed.

Where do the tutoring sessions take place?

All sessions take place in person at the family's home within the local community. It is a comfortable, focused environment where you can make a direct impact.

How do I get matched with a student?

We do not just connect you randomly. We use a personalized matching process that pairs your specific academic strengths, schedule, and personality with a local student who will thrive under your exact style of mentorship. 

What if I don't feel it's a match?

Our personalized matching process includes a virtual Meet & Greet to ensure the right fit. Sessions will only begin once both the family and the tutor confirm the match.
