Confidence first, then results that last
Quillfield Tutoring offers one-to-one lessons in maths, science, reading and writing, executive function and test preparation to K–12 students in and around Columbus. We close learning gaps, ease homework stress and help each student find a way of studying that works for them.

How Quillfield works
Quillfield Tutoring was started in 2019 by Rebecca Hollins after eleven years of teaching high-school mathematics, and after seeing the same pattern every spring: students who had fallen behind in October, and nobody who had noticed until March. The practice is built to catch that earlier, with one dedicated mentor for each student instead of a rotating cast of tutors.
Every student starts from a plan rather than an open run of lessons. Tutors work from the student’s own Columbus-area course, syllabus and marked work, so sessions reinforce what is happening in class, and the plan is reviewed in writing in October, December and June. Parents read a short recap after every session, which ends the kitchen-table homework battles and lets you step back into simply being the parent.
Lessons are one-to-one only, in a quiet Columbus study room or live online, with background-checked tutors and every price published. Quillfield does not promise a grade, a test score or a college place; it says what will be practised, how often and at what cost, and reports honestly on how it is going.
03 · Principles
Three promises to every family
Commitments you can hold us to from the first session.
01
Strict academic integrity
We teach students how to solve problems and edit their own writing. A tutor explains, questions and checks, but never completes graded homework, take-home tests or essays for anyone, in any subject, for any fee.
02
No locked packages
Sessions are billed monthly as you go, with no long-term contract. Pause over the summer, scale back after exams or stop after any lesson.
03
A right-fit tutor match
If your student’s first session with a new tutor is not a good fit, the first hour is on us and we will rematch them with another tutor straight away.
04 · Process
Four steps, first call to weekly lessons
The same path for every programme, whatever the subject or grade.
01
Parent call
Send the contact form or an email and we will book a free 20-minute parent call about your student’s challenges, goals and personality.
02
Diagnostic or match
Choose the $125 baseline diagnostic to uncover hidden gaps, or go straight to a tutor matched to your student’s subject and style.
03
Weekly sessions
Your student works with the same tutor at the same time each week, in a Columbus study room or live online.
04
Recaps and reviews
You receive a short recap after every session, with a written review of the plan each term.
05 · Place and limits
A small practice, honest about its timetable
When after-school times fill
Quillfield Tutoring is a small practice with four tutors, and most lessons run on weekday afternoons and evenings after school. From September to November, and again in the eight weeks before AP exams, those after-school times fill first, so a new student may be offered a later evening, a Saturday morning or a place on a short waiting list instead. We say so in our first reply rather than taking on a student we cannot see every week. If a test is less than three weeks away, ask before assuming a prep package can start at once.
