[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do families ever hire tutors to prepare for the BASIS comps?  Are there tutors in the area who specifically specialize in BASIS comps tutoring?  Based on a different thread regarding comps, it seems some students barely study compared to others so I know there’s a range of experiences.  Just wondering if tutoring is at all common or if the students essentially rely on the school and perhaps study groups to prepare?[/quote]

We are a 5th grade family, so no experience with comps yet.  We did hire a tutor for math this year.  My kid's previous elementary did not prepare him well for the pace of math instruction at BASIS.  This was in line with our expectations and also one of the reasons we decided to take the BASIS seat.  We were worried about DCPS instruction slowing down too much after COVID learning loss.  My kid likes the school so far and is doing really well socially and academically. We are eyes wide open that this may change year to year and have an exit plan for high school, though my understanding is that many kids are staying for high school nowadays.

So, back to the OP's question - I would ask your parent-friend group for tutor recommendations and just have them on hand in case you need them this fall.
