FAQ

Common questions

If yours isn't here, book a free meet or send me an email. I'm happy to answer it.

Which session length should I book?

Most kindergarten to Grade 6 students do best with 30 minutes. Grade 7 and up usually need the full hour. Sometimes 60 minutes doesn't feel like enough. If that's the case, send an email inquiry.

What grades do you take?

Any grades within the public school system! Kindergarten through Grade 12, including senior calculus. I am not currently tutoring for college-level courses, but may consider opening up to these students in the future.

Do you tutor subjects other than math?

Just math for now. However, I do have colleagues in the literacy realm who may join my team in the future.

Is it online or in person?

I am fully set up to tutor all ages online via video conferencing. It is my preference. However some families require an in-person session and I can provide these locally in the Central and South Okanagan and some areas of the Shuswap.

Do I have to commit to a package?

Not at all. If you're unsure about fit, feel free to book the free meeting with me. You're also free to direct-book one session and never book another should you choose.

Can we do a longer session?

Absolutely. Send an email inquiry for pricing and I'll create a custom booking link.

Can siblings book together?

They sure can! It can get a little bit muddy if they're working on different topics, but if booking together works best for your family we can make a plan together. Book a free meet to discuss or send an email inquiry.

How do I pay?

Credit card payment is taken upon booking online.

What if we need to cancel or reschedule?

Cancellation/Reschedule Policy: Cancellation up to 24 hours in advance will result in a full refund. Any cancellations or reschedules made within the 24 hour window will be subject to the full fee of the session.

No-Show Policy: I will wait on the call for up to 10 minutes before considering a booking a no-show. No-shows are subject to the full fee of the session.

Communication is key. Let me know if severe illness or a family emergency has occurred.

What do we need for an online session?

You will need a device with a camera and microphone, as well as a screen big enough to view my screenshares. The best equipment would be a laptop or a propped up tablet.

I use Google Meet, so the student will need an email address to join the call. If they don't have one, create one for free in advance of the call with gmail. I request that scans or photos of the problem set are sent at least 24 hours in advance.

Beyond this, always come to a tutoring session prepared like you would be for class. Pencil, paper, and an openness to learn.

Still wondering about something?
