1. How much do you charge?

I do offer discounts based on the number of hours per week of tutoring. My rate schedule is given below:

Since I am based in Rockland County, clients outside of Rockland will pay an additional $20 per hour for the increased travel time. If the tutoring hours are consecutive, however, the $20 travel fee will only be applied to the first hour.

2. Where does tutoring take place?

Most clients take advantage of the convenience of home tutoring, so most of my tutoring occurs right at your house. The second most common meeting place would be a local library. The fact is, tutoring can take place anywhere we can sit at a table and have a reasonably quiet atmosphere in which to learn. I have tutored people in hospital cafeterias, in their cars, even at Dunkin Donuts!

3. Do you guarantee the results of your tutoring?

No, but not for lack of confidence in my abilities to help people learn. Tutoring is a partnership that depends on the student as much as the tutor. If students do little or no work on their own, minimal benefit will be derived from tutoring. On the other hand, I promise my clients that if a student works hard when I’m not there, and collects questions and problems to ask me about when we’re together, you can expect great things to happen.
