How tutoring works

Tutoring here is a series of sessions with the same teacher, starting with a free consultation by phone or Zoom. In the consultation, Adriana learns your child's grade and what they're working on, and you choose a format and a time. Sessions run 60 minutes, or 30 or 45 for a child who can't sit for a full hour.
