What is included in a tutoring session?
A tutoring session depends entirely on the subject on which we are studying. If we are studying English: a session would likely include grammar instruction, review, and practice; vocabulary practice; spelling practice; and a reading or writing prompt. If we are studying math: a session would include concept instruction, review, and practice; reviewing previously learned concepts and foundational skills; problem practice and completion; even homework help.
Can a session include homework help?
Absolutely! Working on current concepts and homework is a great way for the student to learn and reinforce what they are studying in class. Homework help is always encouraged.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Sams Tutoring is quite flexible. While it is desirable to keep your scheduled sessions, Grace understands that things come up like illnesses or last-minute changes. She just asks that you inform her as soon as you can and the session can either be 1) rescheduled, or 2) cancelled. As long as this isn't chronic, there is generally no penalty for this happening.
How are payments handled?
Sams Tutoring invoices twice-monthly and payments can be made using PayPal, Venmo, or CashApp.
