Dear Yelp: McElroy Tutoring is still open for business, serving students in San Diego & worldwide.


Posted 2024-01-25

Yes, McElroy Tutoring is still in business — and going strong as of April 2022. I have simply relocated my home office from San Diego to Colorado Springs.

Around the same time, Parker juniors took the official PSAT, which was administered by the College Board, the company that makes the SAT.

McElroy Tutoring has been growing very quickly over the past few months, so suddenly I'm spending the majority of my weekday mornings and afternoons managing company policy, consulting with local parents, and directing our team of tutors.
