Questions, answered.
Everything families usually ask before we start. If yours isn't here, just send an inquiry — I'm happy to answer directly.
1. What grade levels and subjects do you support?
I specialize in 3rd–5th grade, tutoring across math, reading, and writing. If a student is in public, private, or homeschool, I meet them where they are — including helping families pick and plan their own curriculum.
2. Are sessions online or in person?
All tutoring sessions are remote — held online over a secure video call. You'll receive a simple link and a distraction-free setup so your student can join from home. Group sessions work the same way and are a great fit for siblings or friends learning together.
3. Do you offer monthly packages?
Yes. Most families choose a monthly package: The Core Focus Package ($240/month, one 60-minute session per week), The Total Academic Boost Package ($450/month, two 60-minute sessions per week), or The 2-Student Micro-Group Package ($180/month for a pair). You can also start with a one-time service like the $95 Standalone Diagnostic.
4. How is my student's starting point determined?
Most families begin with the Standalone Diagnostic — a $95, 60-minute assessment in math, reading, or writing. It pinpoints strengths and skill gaps and produces a written learning profile, plus a 15-minute parent strategy call. If you enroll in a monthly package within 7 days of receiving the report, the $95 fee is credited toward your first month's tuition.
5. What is the cancellation policy?
Cancel with at least 24 hours' notice and you'll receive a makeup credit to use within 30 days. Cancellations under 24 hours and missed sessions are non-refundable and forfeit the session fee; a session is a no-show after 15 minutes of no contact. If I ever cancel due to illness or emergency, we'll schedule a makeup or apply a full credit to next month's invoice. Full details are on the Services page.
6. How does monthly billing work?
Invoices are sent on the 25th of each month and due by the 1st. Your spot auto-renews each month unless you give notice by the 20th. Pay by Zelle (preferred, no fees), credit/debit card, or PayPal.
7. How do I get started?
Fill out the short intake form on the Book a Session page. I'll reach out within 24 hours to set up a free 15-minute intro call, where we'll talk about your child, answer your questions, and make sure we're a good fit — no commitment. From there we'll book a diagnostic or choose a monthly package, agree on a schedule, and set up the format that works best for your family.
