Info & Booking
Our Tutoring Services
Our tutoring services are personalized to ensure your student is being assisted in a way that makes sense to them. We offer tutoring in various subjects and areas, including Reading, Writing, Math, General Homework Help, and more (see the full list below). After booking, parents will receive a form prior to their student's tutoring session. This form will include the student's personal interests, areas of academic growth, and hobbies to ensure a personalized experience for the student. After the session is completed, we reward students with a small prize as an incentive for their hard work and effort to build academic growth.
Location & Pricing: Tutoring sessions can be done either at the student's home (Alameda or Castro Valley only) or a local library. After booking, you will receive a pre-session form where you will be able to select your location preference. Standard session pricing is $25.00 per one hour session in the form of cash payment.
