## Frequently asked questions
### How much does it cost?
K-12 subject tutoring: $95–$135/hr depending on level and subject. SAT/ACT test prep package: $2,400–$5,800 for full 20–30 hour program. College application coaching: $4,800–$8,800 for full junior-and-senior-year package. IEP/504 specialty support: $115–$155/hr. Pay-as-you-go or package billing both available.

### How fast can we start?
Match call typically scheduled inside 5 business days. Tutor matched and first session inside 7–10 days for K-12, 5–7 days for test-prep urgency. Late-start test prep (12 weeks or less out) prioritized in scheduling.

### Online or in-person — which is better?
Both work for most students. Online is more flexible (no commute, easy reschedule), and the Zoom + collaborative-whiteboard setup has caught up to in-person on quality. In-person is better for younger kids (K–5) where attention is harder over screen, and for kids with executive-function challenges that benefit from physical presence. We recommend at the match call.

### What's the typical score gain on test prep?
SAT: average +180 points across our caseload. ACT: average +5 points. Larger gains on lower starting scores (a 1100→1320 is a bigger absolute jump than 1450→1500). We track diagnostic-to-mock-test progress monthly so you can see whether the work is moving the score.

### Do you handle IEP/504 students?
Yes — about 25% of our caseload. We have tutors specifically trained in ADHD, dyslexia, executive-function, and processing-speed accommodations. We coordinate with your school team and outside therapist when helpful. Match call prioritizes pedagogical fit over pure subject mastery.
