How Long does Tutoring Take?

Each of Risa’s tutoring sessions is an hour long, but for group art classes, homeschooling, and other special types of tutoring, the sessions may last longer. Overall tutoring time will vary based on the student’s needs, availability, and budget. A student just having difficulty grasping one topic, such as fractions, may only need a few lessons to feel confident. A student seeking to build confidence in in a range of subjects may need to spend a little more time with Risa. Perhaps the most important determining factor when it comes to the length of time your child spends receiving lessons is his or her individual needs and goals. Risa recommends continuing tutoring sessions until your child improves or achieves the goals we set for tutoring, and she will communicate clearly with you, the parent, throughout the process, keeping you up to date on your child’s progress.

When is Tutoring Available?

Risa is available for tutoring year-round – while school is in, during summer vacation, and even some holidays.
