FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing for Academic classes, i.e., help with Junior High - Middle School, High School, and university undergraduate classes is scaled based on ranking of difficulty according to academia standards. The prices for tutoring can vary widely based on how much out of session work is required, i.e., amount of graded homework, custom practice exam preparation and grading as needed, etc,. Additionally, prices per hour decrease in proportion to the number of session hours provided weekly - at times up to 20%. In summary, final pricing is determined from a collective of factors and negotiated typically after completion of the initial three free sessions we offer. Billing is on a weekly basis. As for our Boot Camp Entrance Exam services, we begin with a fixed price discussed in our initial conversations. The price per hour can be scaled down in proportion to the number of session hours provided weekly. The discount can be s much as 20% per hour. Entrance exam preparation requires constant diagnostic testing to confirm improvement is realized in whatever specific problem areas a student may have as well to confirm that the student's composite exam scores continue to rise. This is a timely process and such examinations re typically reserved for weekends. Prometheus.Academe does NOT charge for the time required to proctor the exams, nor for grading and final student consultation. For our Boot Camp Entrance Exam Preparation Services, Prometheus.Academe provides all study and exam materials needed free of charge.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially, objectives (realistic) must be quantified by the student, diagnostic work, such as practice exams, specific topic exercises, etc., must be performed to resolve what the problems, challenges exist and if possible why. The answers may be self-evident, usually not. Based on this information, an initial, custom designed study plan is formulated which outlines course of study and recommended amount / intensity requisite effort required to meet performance objectives - all with student's existing obligations and commitment to Boot CAMP Program factored in. Conclusions drawn from this input will give us our initial performance benchmark as well as our best approximate estimate of performance improvement the student can expect to realize. Our proposal is presented for discussion, questions, modifications, and hopefully resolve so that work can begin immediately. We always begin our new client relationships with a three session offer (2 hrs/each) free of charge. This affords us an opportunity to perform the initial assessment - diagnostic work needed. As well, these three initial sessions will give students and respective instructor an few sessions together to allow clients to confirm their satisfaction with the instructor/student chemistry and confidence in the outstanding quality of our services. From this point, hopefully we get busy. The plan of action is not a fixed and rigid remedy, but rather a game plan, "strategy", which can be changed in real time as circumstances demand.
