FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I have never used a tutor. How does tutoring typically work?A typical tutoring session lasts 1 hour. Each lesson is planned in segments to keep the pace moving and avoid any lags. In addition, games are often used during the final segment of a session to reinforce skills covered during the lesson.
How long is each session?
Sessions are typically one hour but can be tailored to the student's needs by considering their age, schedule of extracurricular activities, etc.
Where do sessions take place?
Sessions take place in-person, online, or a combination of the two if the student resides in the St. Louis area.
Do you offer group sessions?
No. We offer one to one sessions for students to fully benefit from our services.
Can you communicate with my child's teacher?
Yes! We can communicate with a student's teacher (and anyone else involved with your child's education) to know exactly what concepts the student is experiencing difficulty with, and develop an effective plan of action.

For missed sessions or late cancellations, the regular rate still applies.
