Regular Academic Tutoring and Executive Functioning Skills Support
We have found 45 minutes to be the ideal tutoring session time for most students. A minimum of two sessions per week is recommended, but some students work with us only once a week and others five or more times per week. It’s really up to you.
The fee is $85 for online sessions. This covers not only our actual contact time with the student, but also the time we spend preparing for our session, cost of materials and subscriptions we use, time spent providing a summary for parents about how the sessions went, etc.
Please read this blog post about online tutoring if you’re at all hesitant about trying it. Lara addresses many common concerns parents have and explains why online tutoring can actually be more effective than in-person sessions.
In-person sessions are rare, depend on the student’s needs and the commute time, and will have a higher fee since we can’t serve other students while commuting. Please call so we can discuss your family’s needs.
If a student is very young or has a shorter attention span, 30 minutes may be a more appropriate amount of time. Middle or high school students might prefer a full hour or even a “double session” of 90 minutes (especially in the summer). For shorter or longer sessions, the price is adjusted accordingly.
Parents are always welcome to observe any tutoring session. We just ask that the parent is out of view of the tutor and does not interject during the lesson.
How Payment Works
You will be auto-billed for one month of tutoring prior to the start of the month, based on the number of lessons the student has scheduled (so, not during holidays, etc.). You may choose to have your credit card, debit card, or bank account automatically charged. If you would like to see if the tutor is a good fit for your child before paying for a whole month, you can pay for the first session only.
Referral Bonus
Anyone (including a student) who refers our services to a new family will receive $50 as our thank you after the new student has completed four paid sessions. This referral bonus is for current families, past families, and even people who recommend us who have never used Peak Tutoring themselves. There is no limit to how many times you can recommend Peak Tutoring and receive $50. Thanks for sharing!
