Questions, answered.
Everything families usually ask before we start. If yours isn't here, just send an inquiry — I'm happy to answer directly.
1. What grade levels and subjects do you support?
I work with K–12 students across math, reading, and writing. If a student is in public, private, or homeschool, I meet them where they are — including helping families pick and plan their own curriculum.
2. Do you work with charter school funds?
Yes. I partner with many California charter schools, including Heartland and Monarch River. During your inquiry, just let me know whether you plan to pay privately or through charter funds so we can handle the paperwork.
3. How do sessions work — online or in person?
Sessions can be held online or in person depending on location and availability. We'll agree on the format when we book so the setup is distraction-free and comfortable for your student.
4. How is my student's starting point determined?
Most families begin with an initial assessment — a one-hour diagnostic in ELA, math, or both. It pinpoints strengths and skill gaps and results in a written plan we follow going forward.
5. How quickly will I see progress?
Most families notice a shift in confidence within the first few sessions. Real skill growth typically shows within 6–8 weeks of consistent weekly work. You'll receive a short progress note after each session.
6. What is the cancellation policy?
Life happens. Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice at no charge. Cancellations within 24 hours or no-shows are billed at the full session rate.
