FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Initial intake and assessment fee, non refundable $35 per student in addition to hourly rate. Hourly rate, $35/hour per student if the tutoring session is mostly homework support for curriculum provided elsewhere. $45 per hour if I create curriculum and provide materials. $5 travel fee per session if tutoring location is 15 minutes or farther from my home in midtown, Sacramento. Payment is four lessons in advance. If you know in advance of an absence, we will schedule it in and you will not be charged. Cancellation policy: no refund. I will make every attempt to reschedule you for a $5 rescheduling fee with 24 hour notice. Group rates if available.

- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I volunteered in a classroom of challenging students when I was in my twenties, and knew that's what I wanted to do--help kids meet their challenges and succeed. I was very fortunate for many years to be able to wake up in the morning and know that I was going to a job that I was very good at, loved doing, and knew I was making a positive difference in the world. After a year out of the classroom, I've decided to offer my services as a tutor. I love working one on one or in small groups, and being able to target my instruction exactly to the student's needs.
