Regular Academic Tutoring and Executive Functioning Skills Support
I 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 me only once a week and others five or more times per week. It’s really up to you.
The fee is $80 for online sessions. This covers not only my actual contact time with the student, but also the time I spend preparing for our session, cost of materials and subscriptions I use, time spent providing a summary for parents about how the sessions went, etc.
Please read my blog post about online tutoring if you’re at all hesitant about trying it. I address many common concerns parents have and explain why online tutoring can actually be more effective than in-person sessions.
I do not tutor in my home. In-person sessions are rare, depend on the student’s needs and my commute time, and will have a higher fee since I 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.
SAT Prep Tutoring
SAT prep classes are $210 per 90-minute session. The rate is higher because each session is twice as long as normal tutoring sessions and are custom-made to meet the needs of your child. I generally spend an additional hour preparing for each 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 I’m 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 my services to a new family will receive $50 as my 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 me 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!
