This page gives a brief explanation of the subscription packages I currently offer. Please note that for clarity of definition, I use the terms “slot” and “unit” to mean:
“unit” is usually a lesson of about 55 minutes’ duration, but it may occasionally be fulfilled by a similar effort, such as time spent grading an essay, assistance with a project, answering written questions, detailed text sessions, accompanying school visits, etc.
“slot” is a regular dedicated weekly time, committed to by the student, in which tutoring is generally delivered. A slot session that falls on a federal holiday or that is canceled or missed by the student is not replaced. Any appointment canceled by the Tutor will be replaced within 5 days.
GeorgeTutor subscriptions are packages that allow the following choices:
- You can choose your “level of service”, by deciding whether you want GeorgeTutor to meet with your student 1, 2, 3 or 4 times per week (on average). The “level” determines the number of subjects and the intensity of coverage that GeorgeTutor can offer.
- You can choose your “duration of service”. GeorgeTutor subscriptions work best over long term (5+ month) engagements with students, but there are cases where shorter durations are requested. The “duration” has an effect on the monthly price that we can offer.
- You can choose your “flex tier”. Some families can commit to extremely regular scheduling in return for the lowest possible subscription prices. For others, we offer a flex system that provides about 10% scheduling flexibility through a simple token economy. We also offer a full “Concierge” service, with maximal flexibility and a hotline for scheduling adjustments.
Exact pricing for combinations of these choices are determined at time of registration, but the following descriptions of available “levels of service” gives an idea of typical pricing*.
