FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My base fee is $80 per hour. Package pricing is negotiable on a per-client basis, based on the number and regularity of tutoring sessions. Travel fees may apply depending on travel time / distance for me to get to the sessions. Rate may be negotiable based on the nature of a student's unique situation if relevant. Don't let my rate scare you away from contacting me for a quote / consultation!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I meet with a student, often accompanied by his/her parent(s), to discuss the student's tutoring needs, goals, and expectations. I outline my process, give an introductory / demonstration lesson so the client can see my teaching style in action, and answer any questions. If the client wishes to hire me, we set an hourly rate and schedule for future lessons.
