Does my child qualify for free tutoring?
We recommend a minimum of two hours of tutoring a week. Anything
less than that is generally ineffective and we don’t want you
to waste your money. The more hours your child spends with one of
our tutors, the faster they will catch up and no longer need tutoring
services. For students who are literally failing subject, plan on
three to four hours a week.
The length of time your child will require tutoring is highly dependent
on the student’s need, abilities and how far they are behind
when we start working with them. On average, most of our clients
tutor with our company four to six months. Keep in mind, contracting
for more hours initially, may save you money in the long run because
your student will catch up faster. We contract with our clients on
a month by month basis.
We offer various tutoring packages based on the amount of hours
you contract for each month. Our hourly rates drop the more hours
you pre-purchase. In general, our rates range from $40-$55 per hour.
Almost all of our tutors are state certified teachers who teach
in the local school systems. They are professional educators, trained
in the latest teaching methodologies and curriculum tools. Best of
all, they are familiar with local standards and assignments and can
offer an “insiders” approach to tutoring with the goal
of helping your child succeed in local classrooms.
We do hire some degreed professionals for specialty subjects like
advanced math, chemistry or biology. These tutors have degrees in
math or are nurses who are extremely qualified to tutor in these
subject areas.
If at any time you are dissatisfied with your tutor for any reason,
we will immediately substitute that teacher for one that better meets
your requirements.
Tutors go through a rigorous training and screening process with
our A to Z human resource department. We run multiple criminal background
checks on all of our tutors and require proof of teaching certification
or college degrees.
No problem. We will tutor anywhere you want us to tutor, as long
as it is a safe place for our tutors. We do require that an adult
chaperone be present for all tutoring sessions.
Yes. Call our office for details. But we try and make tutoring
expenses reasonable for larger families.
Yes. Teachers and social workers are special public servants who
work for reduced salaries to help kids in our communities. We want
to give you a break on price to say thanks!

Maybe. If you are a foster parent or parent who is participating
in the social services system in your area, we may be able to arrange
for state funded tutoring for your child or foster child. Also, if
you child attends a school in its second year of school improvement
under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, you may qualify for free
A to Z tutoring paid for by your local school district. Call our
office for details.
