Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that's not answered here? Reach out and we're happy to help.
What subjects do you tutor?
We cover all K-12 subjects, with a focus on math, science, English/writing, social studies, world language, SAT/ACT prep, and college essay coaching. See our Subjects & Rates page for the full list.
What grade levels do you work with?
We tutor students from elementary school through 12th grade, plus college essay coaching for graduating seniors.
Do you offer online tutoring, in-person, or both?
Both! Many of our tutors offer online sessions, and some also tutor in person depending on location. We are able to meet you in your home or in a public space (such as your local library)- whatever you and your child are most comfortable with! Check each tutor's profile on our Our Tutors page for details.
How do I book a session?
Fill out the form on our Contact page with your student's grade, subject, and availability, and we'll follow up within 24 hours to schedule a first session.
What are your rates?
Rates vary by subject and session length. See our Subjects & Rates page for current pricing, including package discounts.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule a session?
We ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a session whenever possible. Our tutors are busy students, so please try and be respectful with their time. Contact your tutor directly to make any changes.
Can I get a tutor for my child on more than one subject?
Yes! Many of our clients want support in more than one subject. Depending on which subjects, we will either connect you to one tutor who can help with everything or multiple tutors (one for each subject). This is done to ensure that all tutors are qualified to teach the subject your child needs help on. If you have a preference for either one/multiple tutors, include that under the "additional information" section on your client form and we would be happy to accomodate!
Are sessions weekly or one-off?
They can be either! Whether you want one-off help before a big test or recurring sessions to keep your student on track, we are able to schedule based upon your needs.
