About Backup

Meet the Owner:

Maryam Sayyed has been involved in the tutoring industry as a tutor for over fifteen years.  She started All Topics Tutoring (“ATT”) in 2013 after matching a family in need with an excellent tutor after she could not take on the opportunity herself.  Because our company owner is a tutor and a mom, she understands the industry through and through from both sides of the coin.   All Topics truly believes that tutoring is an up-front investment that continues to pay off for life.  Getting through to a young child or teenager at a time when he or she is in need has shown to work wonders for his/her current and future success.  In fact, long-term All Topics Tutoring students* have shown marked improvement in their motivation, work ethic, drive and goals/visions for themselves in the future. Routine and frequent exposure to a compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced, enthusiastic and motivated mentor figure is often the driver that places students on the path to success.  Maryam aims to replicate that successful mentorship relationship with each tutoring connection she makes between a new family and an ATT tutor.

The advantage of using ATT is that all tutoring can occur at or nearby the comfort of your own home.  There are no centers to drive to and no mandatory expensive battery of diagnostic tests to take.  Additionally, the curriculum is tailored to what the student is learning in school rather than piling on extra work which may or may not translate into grade improvement because it does not necessarily bear relevance to your student’s school-learned techniques.  Finally, All Topics is different from the tutoring giants, chains and franchises not only because of the more reasonable and accessible pricing, but also because the small mom-and-pop-shop style.  ATT delivers that hand-holding experience with the investment-for-life philosophy.  Once you are an ATT customer, you are welcome to yearly consultations for life**.  Our company owner Maryam started a company because she wanted to fill a void between the tutoring giants at exorbitant prices and the very skilled full-time individual tutors who may need help connecting with the right families from time to time.  The goal of All Topics is to help people reach their fullest potential.  And there is no better way than with a tutor to help your student unlock the potential and achieve success!

*Long-term ATT students are based on the opinions of All Topics Tutoring of students who followed the recommended program for a year or more, completed all tutoring assignments, and typically parents/siblings engage in the learning and accountability process.
 
**These consultations may involve a nominal fee
