About Student Loan Tutor
Written by the company
The Smarter Way To Repay Federal Student Loans
We specialise in helping high balance borrowers navigate the department of education's student loan repayment Programs. The rules within these programs are ever changing and complex, yet full of opportunity.
When you call your loan servicer, you're not always shown the best options. They do not break down the financial implications of choosing each and every one of their repayment programs. And they do not show you how to navigate these programs optimally to save you the most amount of money.
They simply don't have the training, tools or incentive to do all of this work for you.
Student Loan Tutor on the other hand, is a team of highly trained professionals. Our tutors are equipped with our proprietary calculator, allowing us to show you all of your repayment options and find the best repayment plan for your unique situation.
In addition we handle all paperwork and ensure everything is done on time and help our clients avoid the many pitfalls associated with Student Loans. We're kind of like hiring a CPA to do your taxes, but for Student Loans.

I am beyond grateful to Joe Fiacco and…
I am beyond grateful to Joe Fiacco and Kerry Derry at Student Loan Tutor. I was buried under a mountain of student loan debt from undergraduate and graduate nursing school - I was so overwhelmed and not sure how I would manage to meet my monthly payments or ever get out of debt. Joe spent 2+ hours on an initial zoom call with me after reviewing my financial documents, and came up with a repayment plan that feels too good to be true. Kerry is on top of submitting all my paperwork and applications, and sends me reminders when something is missing/due. They know the ins and outs of this convoluted system and take time to answer all my questions. I cannot recommend Student Loan Tutor enough. They are super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely care about helping you figure things out.
Student Loan Tutor is AMAZING
Sara is absolutely AMAZING. She was so patient with us when I felt that I had no other recourses/no way to deal with my loans. As an attorney, I have accumulated many government loans to fund my education. I am so thankful that I found Student Loan Tutor and that Kerry was able to guide us and set us up with Sara to help us navigate a system that felt impossible. I am now able to afford my loans (with the lowest possible payment) and am no longer afraid/dreading the future. I am forever thankful for your help!
Student Loan Help
Thatcher and Terni have been terrific to work with. We are so appreciative of your services. Thank you for working this all out for us. We will be sure to refer you to someone when the opportunity arises. Again, thank you!
straight forward advice!!
The Loan processor was both knowledgeable and very responsive to all of my questions. She fully explains the "next Steps" and then implements them. Based on the information that the loan processor has provided the results met our goals. I without hesitation recommend student loan processor!!!!
Amazing Service!
Kevin is extremely knowledgeable about navigating an otherwise daunting task to having your student loans forgiven. He predicted I would have my student loans completely forgiven and much to my surprise he was correct. Thank you Kevin & Student Loan Tutors!

Student Loan Tutor has been phenomenal to work with. They have been supporting me for the past 5 years and in that time the guidance they have offered me has been indispensable. Thanks to their expert advice I have a solid plan for optimally managing my student loan and maximizing savings over the long-term.

I could not be more pleased with their services and I recommend them without reservation to anyone seeking to skillfully manage student loan debt.

My son and I have been clients of Student Loan Tutor since 2023. Their services and the peace of mind we have knowing our loans are being handled properly are worth every penny!! I highly recommend them!!
"My school loans are extensive from…
"My school loans are extensive from dental school. Before working with Student Loan Tutor and Student Loan Processor, I was trying to understand how to manage my student loans despite all the changes.
My team explained the ICR strategy clearly, stayed organized, and made sure everything was handled correctly.
My payment is now $0 per month instead of over $3,000 per month, and that creates real financial relief and peace of mind.
They were professional, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to getting the right outcome.
Their services were absolutely worth it.
5 out of 5."

Do yourself a favor and hire Student Loan Tutor!
Very pleased with my experience at Student Loan Tutor. Terni has been great to work with and she has helped to alleviate so much of the stress I have around my student loans. I can't recommend them enough!
Student Loan Tutor A+!!!
This company was extremely helpful in every way regarding navigating my student loans in this tricky landscape of ever changing rules from the department of education. They did all the hard work and took the burden and worry off of me by letting me know what exactly I needed to do and when. Jennifer, the advocate I worked with was extremely fast in all our correspondence and very clear with our plan! They have been an absolute pleasure to work with and have been able to get me out of the administrative forbearance from the SAVE plan with extremely manageable payments to continue my progress towards PSLF. Extremely grateful for their conscientious care, insight, and managing of my student loans!! Excited to continue working with them.

Great experience
My husband and I are both pharmacists. We had a great experience working with Tony and Jarom. Tony has been incredibly helpful in answering questions my husband and I had, and he's always quick to respond. Jarom was super helpful with my IBR application and made the process feel much less overwhelming. The communication has been excellent, and we're really happy with the outcome.
Stephanie has been wonderful…
Stephanie has been wonderful de-mystifying the repayment process of my Physician Assistant graduate school loans. Being in this stage of life (PA-wife-mother) there is too much to keep track of and Student Loan Tutor stepped in to help. They helped me see and organize my repayment options, showed me what I qualified for and showed me the steps needed to set myself up for application and repayment success. They know the timelines and lenders, they watch developments from Dept. of Education and help foresee changes/options in real time to allow you to figure out what fits your lifestyle best. They are always available to answer questions promptly or set up a meeting if needed. I do wish I had come across them earlier in my repayment process but I am very happy I did when I did.
They only help when I reach out
They only help when I reach out. They don't offer advice and when they do it's after I have been negatively effected. They do sometimes answer emails or texts but only after multiple attempts are made.
I began working with Student Loan Tutor…
I began working with Student Loan Tutor in 2023 after graduation, feeling completely overwhelmed by the US student loan system. My experience since then has been transformative.
Let's be honest: the student loan infrastructure is not designed for borrower understanding or success. It is a bureaucratic maze that seems built to increase debt and debilitate graduates with payments that hinder financial growth. I felt lost and anxious.
Student Loan Tutor changed everything. They took this incomprehensible process and simplified it, making me feel both empowered and cared for. They provided the expertise and advocacy I desperately needed.
In practical terms, their guidance allowed me to understand and work with the system to my advantage. They helped me secure a plan that minimized my payments to a sustainable amount, which in turn has allowed me to pay my bills and breathe easier. The reduction in daily stress has been incredible.
A huge part of this success is due to my case manager, Stephanie. She is brilliant, patient, and truly an angel in this process. She demystified every step and was a steadfast partner.
In summary, Student Loan Tutor (and Stephanie specifically) are the best investment I've made in my financial future post-education. They don't just give advice; they provide a lifeline and a strategy. I cannot recommend them highly enough to any borrower feeling lost or crushed by their loans.
Painful Parent Plus Payments
My husband and I will both be retired this year. Our monthly Parent Plus loan payments for our two kids were nearly $4,000 each month, and growing. This was making it difficult to budget for retirement. Derek and Sabrina at Student Loan Tutor helped us to navigate the IDR payment plans and got our payments to $0. It took a little time, effort and patience to get our payments down, but it was worth it. Thank you Student Loan Tutor for your help!!
