FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The first two hours are half-price, to give the student time to get comfortable and so that I can get a sense of what their needs are. Hourly rate is based on required prep time and driving distance, but you are only charged for the time spent with your student. Academic support is the least expensive because it requires the least prep time on my part. Standardized test prep, as well as Enrichment & Remediation outside the school year, are more costly, as they require more preparation on my part to create a personalized curriculum. Advocacy costs a slightly higher hourly rate. Consultations are prorated by 15-minute segments, but require my specialized expertise, so cost the most. Workshops are charged a flat rate based on size and length of the workshop.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I mostly offer: Academic Support, Remediation, and Enrichment Standardized Test Prep (e.g.: SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, Praxis, LSAT) Consultations with Psychologists (re: IEP, intervention, and placement suggestions) Advocacy for Special Education Workshops for Parents & Teachers
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Give the intervention time. There is a curve for the student getting comfortable and the provider getting a sense of their personal learning style. Unless there is a definite personality clash, at least give it 3-5 hours (three sessions) to begin to see clear results.
