Getting started with Success Tutoring is easy! Here's what you need to do:
1. Request a free consultation to discuss your child’s history and tutoring needs. If you like I can demonstrate an online session and we can see if it’s a good fit.
2. Schedule your child’s sessions.
3. Complete the registration forms and required paperwork.
4. Make the first month’s payment.
5. Gather the necessary supplies.
6. Sign in to each tutoring session as scheduled.
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.
