A-Squared Tutoring

• The tutor comes to you.  Schedule the session where it is most convenient to you.  Provided an adult is present, sessions can be held in the comfort of home.  Or the tutor can meet at a public place such as a library or coffee shop.  No travel time to and from a tutoring session. 
• Personal, one-to-one attention.  Many tutoring organizations schedule several students to work with a single tutor.  So although you may pay for an hour of time, each student may only get 20 minutes of tutoring. 
• Area of service includes city of Richmond, Henrico County, and Hanover County.  Students from surrounding counties such as Chesterfield or Goochland can be served but may need to meet the tutor at a library in the normal service area. 
• Sessions can be scheduled at most times during the day or in the evening.  Some times are unavailable due to other teaching commitments. 

Subjects taught:

• Grade School and Middle School students: any science and math. 
• High School students: non-biological sciences, such as physics, chemistry, earth science, and astronomy, all math subjects, and writing assignments such as essays and research papers.
• College students: any undergraduate physics, introductory chemistry, any mathematics up to introductory calculus, and English composition, including help writing and editing essays and research papers.
• Test Preparation: GED, SOL, SAT, GRE, and others.
• Any level:
  • Basic computer skills, including Internet research, Microsoft applications such as Internet browsers, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, and graphic arts programs, file management, and more. 
  • Introductory level computer programming in some languages.
  • Introductory photography lessons.
  • Origami--beginner through advanced.

• Fees:
  • First two hours cost $20 per hour. 
  • Thereafter, $50 per hour if paying one session at a time, or $40 per hour for 5 or more hours paid for in advance. 
    This is less than most personal tutors charge in large metropolitan areas.
  • For college students on scholarship or student loans, the rate is $40 per hour if paying one session at a time, or $30 per hour for sessions paid in advance.
  • Groups pay the same fee per hour.  This can reduce the cost per student and make sessions more affordable.
  • Lower rates are negotiable if these rates are prohibitive due to employment hardships.
• Payments may be made by cash, check, VISA, or MasterCard.
• Satisfaction Guaranteed: if you do not feel a session has been helpful, you will not be charged.  If you have paid for sessions in advance, you may discontinue service and get a refund for sessions not used if sessions are not proving helpful.
