Rates
Standard Rate
$50/hour is the starting rate for tutoring.
This rate is constant for both in-person and online tutoring.
Flexibility
The standard rate is just a benchmark. On a case-by-case basis, we can make adjustments to ensure your needs are met.
Payment Methods
Venmo, Paypal, Checks, and Cash are all acceptable forms of payment. Can be paid in advance or directly after the tutoring session.
Scheduling
Communication
Sessions can be scheduled after 3:15pm on weekdays; weekends will be more flexible. I'm a current student and actor, so we can get in touch about more specific scheduling.
--
My primary scheduling method is through Gmail and shared Google Calendar events. Lessons can be scheduled in advance, on a recurring day (with some caveats), or at the end of a tutoring session.
# of Sessions
I can tutor each client for a maximum of 2 sessions and a total of 3 hrs/week. Each session can be from 1 to 3 hours long.
--
In some cases, their may be a big assignment that a student needs to finish; instead of scheduling for a specific time frame, we can do an until complete lesson. We can work until the student feels confident about their assignment (note: this is still limited by the weekly maximum).
Location
In-Person
I operate in the Santa Barbara / Goleta area for in-person tutoring in the 93101-93190; this does not include all of Santa Barbara county, so if you'd like at-home sessions, make sure your Zip code matches.
After we set up a first session online or somewhere public, we can discuss options for home tutoring.
Online
The primary online format I use for tutoring is Zoom, but if another platform like Discord, Microsoft Teams, or Skype is preferable, I can tutor across different platforms as long as they support screen sharing.
What Will a First Session Look Like?
Vibe
The first session will be low-stress, with the main goal of seeing whether we're a match or not. I request that you bring some past homework assignments and your specific goals for our tutoring time together.
Location
For both the safety of me and my clients, I request that the first session takes place in a public location, like a coffeeshop or something similar. If we decide we want to work together, then we can discuss from-home tutoring or other locations.
