FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have a range of different options to suit different needs and budgets. Tailored tutoring is our primary offering for students in need of intensive help. We charge a base price of $90 per hour, this includes a fully personalized curriculum written for each student's needs, all of the necessary resources, regular progress reports and PDF copies of every lesson. Guided tutoring is for clients who need less intensive help at a cost of $80 per hour. This is best suited for students who are looking for help with homework or want lessons to complement homeschooling or distance learning. Clients provide their own resources and our tutors will work with you to help you learn the material. For clients who need spur-of-the-moment help, whether it be proofreading an essay or help with a specific homework question, we offer microtutoring. You can book lessons at short notice, in 10 minute increments, starting at $2 per minute. Our consulting is generally done through quarterly contracts, however, we do also offer hourly services beginning at $175. We also offer bulk discounts and monthly tutoring subscription packages at a reduced cost, as well as a discount for all verified first responders or healthcare workers. Feel free to reach out for further details.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each student has his or her own individual needs, so we offer a free initial consultation to learn about every new student's long-term goals, academic history and learning style. During the following no-obligation trial lesson, the tutor we match them with compiles a report on their baseline skill level and short-term academic targets. Once you're certain you're comfortable with your chosen tutor and we've decided on a plan of action together, we'll schedule your first two weeks of lessons and send you your first invoice. As always, we honor our commitment to transparency. Please feel free to reach out if you have questions about our intake documents, invoicing process or safeguarding policy.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our founders David & Cait attended Cambridge & Yale, respectively, and met while working as full-time private teachers in the South of France. The two of them have worked as private teachers and educational consultants in Monaco, Dubai, London and California for more than a decade. While our founders still work with clients, they also have brought onboard a team or tutors and consultants. All of our tutors have years of experience teaching their chosen subjects AND significant real-life experience that backs-up their qualifications: our language tutors are native or fluent speakers, our music tutors are professional musicians, our science teachers have worked in laboratories. We are absolutely confident in the quality of our tutors and know that our students are in excellent hands. Our consultants, likewise, have an incredible track record. Each one attended Ivy League & Oxbridge schools themselves and have an intimate understanding of the application process. Tutelage consultants have a 100% success rate—every single one of our students has received an admissions offer from one of their top 3 schools.
