Getting started

Meet your tutor before buying a package

The assessment is your student’s first paid class. We identify learning needs, introduce the tutor, and use the final 10–15 minutes to discuss our findings and a proposed study plan with your family.

Assessment fees · charged once per subject, per student
AssessmentLengthFee
In-home, one student1 hour$85
Online, one student1 hour$50
In-home, two siblings90 minutes minimum$125

Continue with a package. Get one extra hour free.

When your family purchases a package after the assessment, we add one bonus hour for a free class. The assessment fee is paid separately. If you decide not to purchase a package, you pay only for the assessment already completed.

If the first tutor isn’t the right fit, your family can have a free second assessment with a different tutor to compare and choose the right match.

A new subject requires its own assessment. Two siblings may share an in-home assessment, with teaching time split between them.

One-on-one packages

Flexible hours that stay yours

Hours never expire

Paid package hours remain on your account until used, with no reactivation charge if you pause.

More than one tutor

Your hours carry across when another tutor is a better fit or your regular tutor is unavailable.

Move between subjects

Standard hours work across standard subjects. AP hours work across AP and competition subjects.

One hour minimum

Private sessions run in whole hours, starting at one hour. Online AP group classes follow the separate 90-minute schedule below.

Give 48 hours’ notice to move or cancel a private session and the hour returns to your account. For illness, give 24 hours’ notice.

Missed without notice

A private session missed without the required notice is not refunded or rescheduled.

For online AP groups, the school-closure and mid-month proration terms above apply.

Termination fees

Ending a package or group plan

The following fees apply when ending the corresponding package or plan. One-on-one package fees are the same for in-home and online tutoring.

One-on-one package refunds

We subtract hours already used at your package rate from the amount paid, apply the termination fee to the remaining credit, and refund the balance. The fee does not exceed the remaining credit, so you will not owe more after ending a one-on-one package.

Example: a $2,010 standard in-home package with 12 of 30 hours used has $1,206 remaining. After the $250 termination fee, the refund is $956.

Choosing your plan

Start with the commitment that fits your family

Consider 30 or 50 hours

A larger private package can fit students who need weekly help across a term, have a regular time available, and already feel comfortable with their tutor.

Start with a smaller package

A smaller private package can fit a short unit, an upcoming exam, a changing schedule, or a family still deciding how much support is needed.

Let’s find the right fit

Call or text with your student’s grade, subject, goals, and availability. Tell us whether you prefer in-home, online one-on-one, or an AP group class. The initial conversation is free.
