Scheduling your first session & Wait List Policy
I have a full-time schedule and teach Monday-Saturday.
Contact me to schedule a free trial session! Trial sessions typically take around 30-45 minutes and are a chance for me to get to know you, your student, and your goals for tutoring.
If our schedules do not accommodate a viable time, you can be placed on the waiting list.
During the Session
Please come prepared: if a virtual session, please allow yourself to remain focused (turn off your phone, close your tabs, etc.)
Parents may sit in during sessions, but it is not required.
Practice at Home
Weekly practice is sometimes expected. Commitment to "homework" activities is important to see improvement. With a commitment to holistically understanding each student's needs, "homework" will be discussed as a part of student/parent/tutor goal making process.
Communication
I periodically send session notes via e-mail to comment about thoughts for student's progress. The students (and parents) who get the most out of my sessions are the ones who communicate with me on a regular basis.
The advantage of private 1-on-1 sessions is that I can adjust my teaching to the student's desires and life outside of school.
Do not hesitate to provide feedback so that I can adjust my teaching to fit the needs of you/your child!
Billing
Instructor rates vary and will be agreed upon prior to the first session.
Payment is due in full at the end of each session via Zelle or Venmo.
Parents can also expect a bill/payment summary included with each session report.
Attendance
Payment is due at end of session via Zelle or Venmo.
If the student misses a session for any reason or if the instructor cancels unexpectedly, a make-up session credit can be scheduled within 30 days. (In the summer months of Jun-Aug, make-ups will be allowed until the end of August.)
When the instructor takes leave, a make-up session will not be scheduled.
As I have a full schedule, make-up session time slots are NOT guaranteed.
If a make-up session is canceled for any reason, a second make-up session will not be scheduled.
The instructor reserves the right to terminate sessions for anyone who is habitually canceling sessions.
What if I am taking a month (or more) off of rute?
As a general rule, please speak with your instructor to work something out.
Here are our general guidelines:
I do my very best to be flexible with make-up sessions, especially in the summer.
An alternative option is to pay a $100 hold fee, which allows you to keep your slot but without taking any sessions, and no make-up sessions will be given. This is only applicable to a given calendar month (e.g., July 1-31).
Punctuality & Lateness
If student is late, time missed is forfeited if instructor has another session immediately following.
If instructor is late by more than 15 minutes, that session is free for you or you will get a complimentary make-up session.
You will never get a lesson session less than what you paid for if instructor is late.
