Tutoring Services
Providing Everything You Need to Enhance Your Learning
Tutoring
I offer 50-minute sessions, either virtually or in person. I record all sessions and share recordings and virtual whiteboards with students to help them remember what we discussed.
We can review and strategize homework, prepare for upcoming tests or projects, and discuss strategies to improve executive function (self-management of time and resources). My base rate is $65 per 50 minutes. I am always willing to discuss other needs. We will finalize all agreements before work begins.
My cancellation policy requires 24-hour notice to reschedule. I allow one missed appointment before charging a $30 missed appointment fee for any future late cancellations or no-shows.
Test Preparation
Because test preparation needs vary, it's hard to put a single price on this. I would prefer to have students meet with me weekly for eight weeks, during which we could take three practice tests and have equal sessions of verbal/writing and math content review.
I will provide some electronic materials and recommend one or two paperback books to supplement our use of Khan Academy and other resources based on the students' needs. Expect this course to cost $700, covering 8 50-minute sessions, preparation, and reproduction costs. I require a 50% deposit before our first meeting, with the balance due before the last session.
If you have more immediate needs, we can negotiate a "cram course." These costs will depend on the number of visits and the preparation required.
College Admissions Preparation
Having lived and worked at colleges of many sizes and types, I am well-qualified to help you prepare for college applications. I have also successfully applied for numerous college scholarships and secured several grants. The similarities between the two types of applications are surprisingly many. That makes me uniquely well-suited to help you earn scholarships to pay for your post-secondary education.
My coaching program does not require in-person visits; instead, it will feature online conferences to explore topics like identifying prospective schools, budgeting for application fees, possible majors, the merits of community college, identifying scholarships, drafting authentic essays, and strategizing college visits. I will also include my availability to review applications before submission and, when you're successful, strategies for successfully navigating your first year.
We will negotiate all costs based on your needs, but you can count on $65/session for each meeting
