Tutoring Policy & Benefits
- I offer a free math tutoring consultation
- No commitment or minimum tutoring sessions required (pay-as-you-go)
- Discounts available
- 24-hour cancellation policy
- Tutoring at student’s home (in Bedford and surrounding community)
The Benefits of Scheduling a Regular Weekly Tutoring Session
- A convenient time for your schedule is reserved for your child every week
- Any and all difficult concepts are tackled weekly, rather than the night before an exam
- Any incorrect assumptions are corrected rather than reinforced
- Concepts are solidified weekly to gain confidence and enhance retention
- Test prep and review is more tailored to your student’s needs
- Discounted rate for weekly scheduled tutoring sessions
One-on-One Tutoring
- My undivided attention and focus is on your child
- Pacing is adapted purely for your child (if a child needs extra time on a concept, we can slow down and unpack it further. Similarly, if your child grasps a certain concept, we can move on to the next concept and/or focus on more challenging problems)
- Students do not lose focus when it is one on one (as sometimes happens in a small group)
- Students do not face peer pressure during a one-on-one session (students who struggle with low self-esteem concerning math really benefit from one-on-one sessions – no embarrassment with asking questions)
Small Group Tutoring
I will tutor up to 3 students from the same math class in one session.
The pros of small group tutoring:
- It can be more economical
- Peers help peers
- More students are helped in less time
The drawbacks of small group tutoring:
- If the students learn at different paces or are confused on different concepts – it can be frustrating for each student
- If one of the students in the small group feels uncomfortable speaking up in front of peers, the tutoring session is not as beneficial
Thus, I would say if your child and one or two other classmates feel comfortable asking questions and speaking up when an explanation doesn’t “click” for them, then a small group could be beneficial.
