*BASILEIA HOME AND GARDEN *TRANSFORMATIONAL TUTORING *LIMINAL LANGUAGES AS OF SEPTEMBER 17, THE 2025 FALL SEASON FOR BASILEIA HOME AND GARDEN IS COMMENCING. MEANWHILE THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026 IS UNDERWAY. We currently invite new customers and clients, and welcome new students! In September and October, we are planting and transplanting new and previously installed perennial flowers, shrubs, and trees. An abundant variety of beautiful and affordable specimens are available at Mahoney's of Winchester (Massachusetts), our go-to nursery and gardening center. There are so many ways to use color and texture to increase the pleasure of being surrounded by carefully planned and well-maintained gardens. For fall and spring clean-ups, we use powerful back-pack leaf blowers as well as rakes to thoroughly amass and remove deciduous leaves, pine needles and cones, acorns, loose moss, bark, and twigs. Branches and tree limbs are gathered up by hand. For maximum efficiency and economy, we prefer to remove the debris to an on-site compost pile, or to bag it for seasonal pick-up by your local municipality. For an additional fee above the hourly rate, we offer an off-site removal service (see explanation below). BASILEIA HOME AND GARDEN provides services that enhance the safety, value, utility, and beauty of both urban and suburban properties. Our work grows out of decades of caring for a two-acre property in Andover, Massachusetts, as well as several years of working for clients. For the exterior, we specialize in gardening, including the design, installation, and maintenance of both perennial and annual plants in ornamental and vegetable gardens. We meticulously choose materials, whether they be living specimens, wood, or stone. For the interior, we specialize in organizational systems for a wide range of belongings, as well as in the secure holding of books, antiques, and works of art. During the fall and spring seasons, we offer rather desirable rates for leaf-blowing and yard clean-up. Basileia Home and Garden is a sole proprietorship, lead by Jeffrey Paul Orrell and employing a small number of skilled associates. We endeavor to provide customized service, careful attention to detail in matters of botany and horticulture, advanced appreciation of design and aesthetics, and reasonable hourly rates. Removal service: Whenever feasible, we recommend placing organic debris in an at-home compost pile, or bagging it for pick-up by the local municipality. For an additional fee above the man-hour rate, we remove debris and transport it to a compost center. For pricing and scheduling, please discuss this option with us, in conjunction with the job in question. Nota bene: Our posted rates for gardening and landscaping services indicate man-hours of work. For example, if two members of our team work from 2 to 4 PM, we bill for four man-hours. As a routine policy for new customers, we require payment for the first four man-hours of work, before the job begins. Furthermore, there is a minimum of four man-hours for any job; exceptions are possible for ongoing maintenance. We provide good-faith estimates of the number of anticipated man-hours for the size and scope of the job, not quotes. If you hire us for the job, please be prepared to pay for the actual man-hours, which may end up being less than or more than the estimate. Finally, we require payment in full at the conclusion of our work on any given day. As the director of TRANSFORMATIONAL TUTORING, Jeffrey Paul Orrell offers extensive experience in preparing students in the upper elementary and middle school grades to take the SSAT and ISEE, with an eye on admission to private secondary schools. From time to time he has prepared high school and college students to take the SAT and GRE, with an eye on admission to the finest undergraduate and graduate programs in the USA. Jeff's teaching and tutoring centers on the arts and humanities and leans toward classical education (inclusive of the Latin language); he emphasizes vocabulary development and integrates focused instruction in grammar, syntax, and etymology into a broad context of reading, writing, and speaking. He encourages young people to become life-long readers and polished writers, and does so by guiding them in their own balanced choice of fiction and non-fiction genres and supporting them in the articulation of their own voices and styles. With extensive experience in tutoring elementary, middle, and high school students in mathematics, he emphasizes precise comprehension and usage of terminology, simultaneous flexibility and rigor in problem-solving algorithms, and application to real-life situations and scientific pursuits. Private tutoring affords the opportunity to adapt and apply the best educational materials and strategies for the student's particular learning situation. Concerted awareness around social, psychological, and spiritual themes is often the most critical factor in the student's growth. Direct instruction in metacognitive strategies, including study skills, inevitably fosters self-esteem and bolsters achievement. The philosophical and practical commitment of Transformational Tutoring is to conscientiously ascertain and respond to each student's abilities, aptitudes, and identities. We are experienced and prepared to support students with physical, cognitive, intellectual, psychological, and social limitations; we also affirm and challenge students who manifest special gifts and talents. Nota bene: At this time we do not invoice clients, rather we receive payment in advance of each session, or we receive installments for tuition over the course of pre-determined weeks and months. To be clear: As a small-scale enterprise offering a variety of services and specialties, we are not in the position to invoice customers for payment on a future date. As necessary, we have and we will continue to seek restitution and damages from non-paying customers. ______________________________________________
