The House Tutoring Lounge® has expanding to Winnetka, just steps from New Trier High School – one of the area’s largest. More than just a tutoring center, The House is a teen-only lounge where students get expert homework help, top-tier tutoring, and comprehensive test prep while hanging out with friends in a reimagined student space.
The House first opened its doors in Glencoe, IL in 2019 and quickly opened its second location in Highland Park, IL. Since then, The House has helped thousands of students improve academically and increase their confidence, while easing stress for their entire family.
Gil and Carrie Gibori founded The House to rethink how student stress is addressed. “Teen anxiety is skyrocketing, and the tutoring industry hasn’t caught up with the needs of today’s students,” explains Gil. “We shifted to prioritizing quality of life over the typical metrics.”

Research shows that over 40% of teens have been diagnosed with anxiety or depression, and as noted by the Surgeon General, parents are following suit. The House’s mission is to remove school-related stress from the home, giving teens a place to get the help they need – on their terms.
“At The House, we've created that dedicated space, empowering teenagers to access personalized help right when they need it,” says Carrie. “It's their oasis, where they build their own community and find relief among peers and our incredible staff. The students have made The House into an environment that you cannot find anywhere else.”

The new Winnetka location (24 Green Bay Road) is filled with an eclectic mix of expert tutors – surfers with PhDs, former band roadies with graduate degrees, and other unexpected backgrounds that The House leverages to excite its students. Uniquely, each tutor is trained to integrate executive functioning skills like time management, organization, and prioritization into every lesson. The House team strives to keep students on top of their work, confident in class, and free to enjoy their time outside of school.
Monthly memberships include access to The House’s Academic Lounge®, friend passes, free homework help from roaming tutors, and The Kitchen, a curated snack market. For one-on-one support, students instantly book private tutoring through The House’s innovative app. Designed for Gen-Z independence, The House lets teens take charge, getting help exactly when and how they need it. Award-winning tutoring and test prep services are available on-demand or by appointment to everyone – no membership required. The House welcomes all students: from the highest achievers to those who need the most support, and everyone in between.
“The House was designed to help the entire family,” explains Gil. “While students get the support they need, their families experience the relief they deserve.”
