FAQ

Quick answers for parents.

A few practical details before you reach out.

Do you offer virtual tutoring?

Yes. Virtual sessions are available through Zoom or Google Meet, depending on what works best for your family.

Do you work with middle school students?

Yes, selectively. The main focus is elementary reading and math, but middle school students can reach out for homework help, reading comprehension, math review, and study habits when the support is a good fit.

Do you help with homework?

Yes. Weekday homework help groups at the listed libraries are coming soon. These sessions are for students who need support with assignments, review, or getting unstuck.

How do small group sessions work?

Small groups include 2-3 students in the same grade level with similar needs. They are a more affordable option while still keeping the session focused and supportive.

What are the rates?

1-on-1 tutoring is $35/hr. Small group tutoring and weekday homework help groups are $25/hr per student when a good group match is available.

What should my child bring?

Please bring paper, writing utensils, and any classwork, notes, homework directions, study guides, or assignments that show what your child is working on.
