Getting Started

Explanation of the process

1. A one-time, $30.00 administrative fee to set up your account with us is the only fee you will pay that doesn’t cover an hour of tutoring. We will ask you to pre-pay 5 sessions (which are completely refundable with 24 hour cancellation notice), at the rate of $80.00/hour. After you have used those 5 prepaid hours, you will be billed at the beginning of the month following tutoring for the number of hours of tutoring that took place. See our flyer for discounts applying to standardized test prep.
2. We bill by credit card only.  Your credit card information will be kept completely confidential.  We accept all major credit cards.
3. Initial consultations with teachers and/or guidance counselors, with the tutor present, are provided at no cost to you.  Dr. Ralph G. Perrino, Director, is also available at any time to discuss issues or concerns at no additional cost.
4. There is no long-term agreement required.  You sign a simple contract, which explains that service may be discontinued at any time with 24 hours notice.  At that time, any credit balance on your account will be completely refunded.
5. We pride ourselves on personal service and client satisfaction.  There is never any charge for adding additional tutors, either for the student currently being tutored or a sibling, or for switching tutors for any reason, from personality conflicts to scheduling changes.
6. There is no charge for travel time. Billing occurs only when we meet with your child. There is a minimum one-hour charge. Billing beyond one hour is calculated in 1/4 hour increments.
