Session Guidelines

​

1. Session Length & Start Time

• Each tutoring session is 60 minutes.

• Please be ready to start at your scheduled time.

• Online students should log in 5 minutes early to check their audio, video, and internet connection.

• Sessions will still end at the scheduled time, even if you arrive late.

• ​

2. Online and In‑Person Meetings

• Sessions are offered online and in person for local students.

• Online sessions are held using a secure video platform.

• In‑person sessions take place at a mutually agreed‑upon location in the local area.

• If you are unsure whether you qualify for in‑person sessions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

• ​

3. Prepared Materials

• Bring all the materials needed: textbooks, assignments, notes, a calculator, and past tests (if helpful).

• Have specific questions or topics ready so we can focus our time.

• ​

4. Learning Environment

• Choose a quiet, well‑lit space with minimal distractions.

• For online sessions, use a charged device and a stable internet connection.

• Headphones are recommended for privacy and focus.

• ​

5. Parent / Guardian Involvement

• For students under 18, a parent/guardian should be available at the start of the first session.

• Parents are encouraged to review goals and progress with the students after sessions.

 

 

6. Participation & Effort

• Students are expected to participate, ask questions, and try the strategies we practice.

• We support learning, but we do not complete homework, tests, or projects for students.

• ​

7. Technology & Location Issues

• If you experience tech problems or cannot reach the in‑person location, notify us as soon as possible.

• If issues on our side prevent the session, the session will be rescheduled or the time will be credited.

• If issues on your side prevent participation, the session may still be counted.

• ​

8. Rescheduling & Cancellations

• Sessions must be canceled or rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance.

• Late cancellations (less than 24 hours) or no‑shows may be charged the full session fee.

• Please see our Terms of Service for full details.

• ​

9. Communication

• You can contact us with questions or if goals change between sessions. 

• For changes to your schedule, please use our booking system or contact us directly.

• ​

10. Safety & Respect

• Respectful language and behavior are always required.

• We may end a session early, without refund, if behavior is unsafe or inappropriate.

• ​

11. Results & Expectations

• We focus on building skills, confidence, and long‑term success.

• Grades and test scores depend on many factors, including student effort and school policies, so specific outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
