Weekly tutoring
From $200 / month*
$50 per hour for any high-school-level subject, whatever the student's grade: $300 / month for one 90-minute session a week, or $200 / month* for a 1-hour session a week as an add-on.
Small groups of no more than 3 students; 1-on-1 (mainly online) on request. Students who want more than one session a week can add 1-hour sessions at $50 per hour.
*The $200 / month option (one 1-hour session a week) is an add-on for students who already spend at least 90 minutes a week with us, for example in SAT prep or another subject. On its own, tutoring starts with one 90-minute session a week ($300 / month): the minimum we need for a student to learn the material, solve problems, finish homework and prepare for tests.
