Apollo is a social enterprise, an organization that has a commitment to social responsibility where profit meets purpose. Our mission is to improve access to education through programs that promote mentorship and bridge the achievement gap through community engagement.
The disparity in education across metropolitan areas is striking. In Dallas ISD, 70% of students graduate high school, but less than 20% are college-ready. Mentorship and student engagement have statistically been shown to improve student performance and promote skill development.

No, we do not have a center. We provide personalized service at a location that works best for you. We offer tutoring in-home or at common locations such as libraries, coffee shops, or university campuses.
Apollo Tutors does provide video tutoring as an option for students who are not available for in-home tutoring or for those whose schedules only allow for video tutoring. We use an online whiteboard that allows for students to interact with tutors using diagrams, charts, and Wolfram Alpha
A student’s learning style is influenced by his or her modal learning style (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, etc) and personality type. Understanding each student’s learning style and matching it to the tutors who share this same style is crucial for a successful and personalized learning session. That’s why at Apollo Tutors we give each student and tutor the True Colors Test, which allows us to match students and tutors with similar personality and learning styles. By analyzing each student’s learning style, we are able to match him or her with a tutor who will address individual learning needs, ambitions, interests, and goals.
