Fees & Schedules

Private tutoring rates are dependent on several factors, including how many students (clients) the tutor has, competitive rates in the area, and the expertise/education of the tutor.

As I am building a client base, I am starting with lower-range fees that I feel the average parent or caregiver can afford. Please feel free to reach out about affordability and possible payment plans. Serious inquiries only please.

  • Introductory sessions are 30-minute to 1-hour sessions. They are FREE OF CHARGE and will consist of in-person introductions between the tutor, the prospective student and parent/caregiver. We will meet at a public space, such as a public library, to determine the quality of the student/tutor fit. Personality and disciplinary fit is required for tutoring sessions.
    • Introductory criteria includes: student’s age, grade level, current reading, writing and spelling skills, strengths and weaknesses, etc.
  • Once the introductory fit has been established, we will work together to create a tutoring and payment schedule.

GENERAL FEES AND SCHEDULES

  • 1 STUDENT FOR 1-HOUR SESSION: $25/hour via cash, PayPal or Venmo
  • Weekdays only between the hours of 10 am-6pm
  • Regular sessions include:
    • kick off practice read-alouds (5 minutes)
    • homework overview from child’s school (5-10 minutes)
    • Reading practice (20 minutes)
    • spelling and handwriting practice (20 minutes)
    • wrap up and assigned work (5 minutes)
  • NOTE: each student’s session will look a little different, based on personalized needs. This is a generalized timeline.

Quick Notes at a Glance: Private tutoring fees vary based on client numbers, local rates, and tutor qualifications. Introductory sessions last 30 minutes to 1 hour and are free. Following a fit assessment, a personalized tutoring schedule is established. Standard sessions cost $25 per hour and include tailored reading and spelling practices.
