TUTORING
How much is tutoring? Tutoring rates vary depending on frequency, and payment method. Each child is required to come in for an initial consultation. This consultation costs $100.00. The consultation will assess the students current strengths and weaknesses. Hourly tutoring rates vary from $36.00 - $45.00 for a standard 50-minute session.
How often and how long are tutoring sessions? The frequency of tutoring sessions is determined after consultation with the parents after discussing the specific needs of the student. Tutoring sessions are generally 50-minutes long but can be adjusted to meet the needs and abilities of each student.
Who are your tutors? Stephanie Harker, the center director supervises and facilitates all of our tutors. Our tutors are hand selected from experienced and personable teachers that Stephanie has worked with in her career in education. If a student needs specific tutoring in a specialized area we will find a tutor that has qualifications in that area.

How do I register for tutoring? Registration materials are available online, can be picked up, can be mailed or emailed to a parent.
