Question 1

Can I choose a specific tutor?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! If the schedule allows, we’ll do our best to match you with your preferred tutor.

Question 2

What subjects or skills can I get help with?

Accepted Answer

We offer help across a wide range of subjects and skills! After signing up, students take a full-length practice test to help us create a personalized learning plan. As sessions progress, we’ll use additional practice tests to reassess and adjust the plan as needed. Plus, every student gets access to an online dashboard to track homework, tests, and progress. Parents and tutors can also view this dashboard to stay in sync.

Question 3

How can I get started with a tutor?

Accepted Answer

Once you sign up for sessions, we’ll reach out to you by phone or email to get everything set up. We aim to be as quick as possible—often arranging the first session within a day or two. Need it sooner? Same-day appointments might be available! Feel free to call us at 650-283-6323 to speed things up.

Question 4

What if your first tutor match doesn’t feel like the right fit?

Accepted Answer

If you’re not feeling a strong fit after the first session, just let us know. We’ll work with you to find a better match and provide one free hour with a new tutor. Our goal is to make sure you feel supported, comfortable, and confident moving forward.

Question 5

Do I need to pay in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we ask clients to pay in advance through our website to keep things simple. Need a different arrangement? Just let us know!

Question 6

What’s your policy for missed or canceled sessions?

Accepted Answer

Our policy depends on how much notice you provide. If you let us know at least 48 hours in advance, we can reschedule or cancel your session without any charge. For notices between 3 and 48 hours before the session, you’ll be charged for half the scheduled time. Cancellations within 3 hours are considered no-shows and will be charged in full. Of course, exceptions can be made for serious illness or other significant circumstances.

Question 7

We work with elementary, middle, and high school students. We tailor support to each student’s level and goals, so whether your learner needs help catching up or wants an extra challenge, we’ll meet them where they are.

Question 8

Can you help with homework and school assignments?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We can help your student work through homework, review class material, and build the skills they need to feel more confident in school. Our goal is to help them understand the work, not just finish it.

How long are tutoring sessions, and how often should you schedule them?

Question 14

What do tutoring rates look like?

Pricing depends on the type of support you choose, so the best next step is to reach out for current rates. We’ll be happy to help you find an option that fits your student’s needs and answer any questions before you book.
