What I offer

Standard Services

• One Hour–, One-on-One–, Once a Week

  This most common tutoring plan allows for adequate time each session, and creates a consistent routine week after week. A session involves a school check-in, questions/concerns, outlining the time spent, reviewing old skills as needed, connecting to new skills, reteaching, practicing, and reaffirming the session’s learning achievements, with study tips and organizational skills taught along the way. Of course, you and the student have the ability to modify the agenda and learning goals to best suit the day’s needs. You will also receive a verbal or written update on the things accomplished during this session, as well as recommended activities and games that you can play with your student to practice. With consent, I can also help keep in contact with your student’s teacher to ensure skill development and assignment completion.

  This service is $80 cash (per session/per week).
  If this service is extended to a two hour session, the cost is $120 per session.
  If this cost proves to be a financial burden, it would be an honor to offer this service for $60 cash per session.

• One Hour–, One-on-One–, Twice a Week or More

  This is the right service plan for you if you’re an older student needing intensive work on a particular skill or concept leading up to an assessment. This plan also suits younger students who need a second session in the week dedicated to study habits and functional work skills. This might be an appropriate plan to switch to for a short time if a difficulty arises and your student requires extra support for a week or two. Lastly, this can be a great option over the summer, to ensure that skills stay sharp!

  This service is $60 cash ($60 per session/$120 per week or more).
  If this cost proves to be a financial burden, it would be an honor to offer this service for $50 cash per session.

• Half Hour–, One-on-One OR Groups–, Three Times a Week or More

  This unique tutoring plan works well if I can meet with your student right after school, and they are currently a member of the Spoede Elementary community. We will meet in the building and I can ensure all necessary assignments go home and field questions before they become barriers to success.

  This plan may also work well if your student can only meet late in the evenings in your home due to busy extracurriculars. Consistent, short bouts of academic support are proven to be more effective for this group of students than trying to cram all the necessary learning into one weekly session. I’ll come to you nightly, or at least three times a week. I will be exceptionally prompt, out of respect for your time, and will have a ready plan so every minute is maximized.

  This service, after school at Spoede Elementary, is $40 cash ($40 per session/$120 per week or more).
  This service, late evenings in your home, is $50 cash ($50 per session/$150 per week or more).

• X Hours–, Groups or Homeschooling–, Once a Week or More

  If you know another family/student that needs tutoring in similar topics, I offer very competitive rates to groups of two to four students. Students should be in the same grade, and roughly same ability level, but do not need to be learning the same skills. The pro-social benefits of working with another on hard tasks is immeasurable, and it is my responsibility to blend the learning objectives of all students, however diverse they might be. These sessions involve whole-group learning, and also student-specific break-out sessions where they have my undivided attention.

  If you homeschool and would like to hire my services to help collaborate in curriculum delivery, this is also my hourly rate.

  This service is $50 cash per student per hour. Minimum 4 collective hours per week.
