All the Nitty Gritty
- First Visit
-
The first half hour
for all new customers is free.
This is so you can get an idea of my tutoring
style and to help you decide if I'm the right
tutor for the student!
At the beginning or end of our first visit, I'll plan to talk with you about how I can best help you, and answer any questions you have. - Hourly Rate
- $40/hour for one-on-one, in person tutoring.
- Tutoring Locations
- I tutor at my house in North Salinas/Prunedale, but can also come to a location you prefer for a travel fee.
- Travel Fee
-
My travel fee is $15 for locations within 8
miles of my house. (That covers most of
Salinas/Prunedale.)
For locations outside of my range, I calculate the fee as $20/hr times the time I must block out in my schedule for travel time (blocked out in units of 30 mins), plus $0.75/mile (one way) for gas and car maintenance. - Free for Regular, In-Person Students
- The students who I meet with regularly in person may e-mail questions any time and I'll reply as I have time at no charge. They may also meet with me for free on-line tutoring 15 minutes every week. The 15 minutes per week is very general, and I mean to convey that my students can feel free to ask me for help any time of the day or week!
- On-line Tutoring
- I can tutor students on-line by sharing a computer screen (if you have fast Internet) and/or video chatting with Google Talk or Skype. My on-line tutoring rate is $30/hr. Go to my On-Line Tutoring page for more information.
- Group Tutoring
-
I can tutor groups of up to six at my house, and
have done larger groups in a classroom provided
by one of the students in the group.
Groups are only a good idea if everyone is in
the same class, with the same teacher.
Getting tutored in a group reduces the price each student pays, but is only a good deal if each student can benefit from the questions asked by others.
My hourly rate goes up by $10 for each additional student, so a group of two would split the $50/hr rate ($25 each), and a group of three would split a $60/hour rate ($20 each).Group Tutoring Rates Two $50/hr Each pays $25/hr Three $60/hr Each pays $20/hr Four $70/hr Each pays $17.50/hr Five $80/hr Each pays $16/hr And so on... - 15% Off Discount
- If you schedule 5 or more hours in a week, I give a discount of 15% off your bill for the week.
