JRPB TUTORING SERVICES POLICY
First and foremost, congratulations! You have taken the first but most important step toward becoming a more determined, disciplined, confident, and knowledgeable student. It is not easy to admit needing help and that is to be commended. Whether you are still currently attending high school/college or a student who has returned from a lengthy hiatus from academics, our one-of-a-kind online tutoring will provide you with the skills you will need to succeed in any endeavor you wish to pursue.
Let’s get into what you should expect from our service and what we are expecting of you so that you can receive the most out of each meeting.
Our First Meeting
When meeting someone new, from either the perspective of the student or the tutor, there are a lot of unknowns. That is why during our first tutoring session, we would like to spend some time getting to know each other.As the student this includes your: passions, interests, goals, hobbies, and anything about you that would be important for your tutor to know or understand about you personally. As the tutor this includes: strategies, techniques, philosophies, as well as our interests, passions, and hobbies. Building this rapport is extremely valuable in creating a trusting and honest relationship between the student and tutor.
Students should expect the first part of the first meeting to be spent simply talking about why we’re here, who we are, and what we want. We view this as being such an important aspect of a long-lasting student/tutor relationship, we offer this time for FREE (not exceeding 30 minutes). After this time, if the student does not feel we would be the right fit, no harm no foul, we can terminate the session and move on from there. Expect this time to be spent before covering the subject material, we also suggest that a longer first session is planned to accommodate for this.
JRPB conducts its tutoring services through Zoom. A Zoom Meeting link will be provided via email. Prior to our first meeting, we ask to make sure all necessary software is downloaded and able to be readily used.
Help Us Help You!
We want all our students (and parents) to get the most out of our premiere service. To do that, our tutors need to be the most prepared before starting each meeting. This is where we need your help.
A link for a cloud service will be provided via email so the student or parent can provide all the necessary resources and material that will be used for each session. Digital materials can be saved and directly uploaded while physical materials will need to be photographed and uploaded onto the computer. Resources and material may include: - Digital material - Powerpoints - Textbooks (eBooks/eText) Screenshots or files of assignments: -Physical material -Paper assignments (homework, worksheets, etc…) -Pages from a physical textbook To reiterate, we want to make sure that everyone’s time is used to the fullest and being able to provide our tutors the chance to be fully prepared will ensure that everyone gets the most from their tutoring experience. Tutoring Rates & Payment Options JRPB’s Online Tutoring Services provides individualized one-on-one tutoring as well as group tutoring up to 5 students at a time. It is highly recommended to schedule 1-1 tutoring sessions for 1.5 hours and Groups for 2 hours at the minimum, especially when dealing with complex, abstract concepts. We would much rather have you finish a session earlier than expected rather than having to end before we cover all the material you were hoping to review. 1-1 Private Online Tutoring: $60/hour - Convenient access without needing to spend your valuable time or worry about driving to a physical location. - An in-person experience combined with the integration of technology to supplement the learning process. - Coaching and mentoring to help guide through mental challenges that can impede your success. Group Tutoring: 2-3 students- $30/hour per student 4-5 students- $20/hour per student - Group sessions involve the same services that are included with individual meetings. - More students mean less individual attention from the tutor, but replaced with the students’ ability to collaborate and learn how to work as a team to solve a problem. Payment Options -Chase QuickPay® with Zelle® -PayPal -Please inquire for other options if needed All payments are expected to be received within 3 business days following the completion of a session. Any future meetings will be contingent on fulfilling payment for the one prior. Hour packages coming soon!
Tutoring Cancelation Policy Our tutors pride themselves on their punctuality, consistency, and their dedication to their commitments. We value the time of our students and would ask for the same consideration from you. We also understand that emergencies happen which is why we have implemented a fair policy for cancellations in certain situations.
