I do not offer trial lessons. Instead, I schedule a free consultation with you (and your child, if you like) to learn more about your child’s history and tutoring needs, to answer questions, to show you what a tutoring lesson is like, and to see if I am a good fit for your child. If I don’t think I can’t help your child, I will be up front and let you know. I will be happy to refer you to another tutor if I know one that would be compatible.
