Coaching
Our coaches work one-on-one with clients, their families and other professionals to ensure a complete and comprehensive teaching approach. Coaches either meet at a clients home or public library, depending on the needs of the individual, for a 50 minute session once a week. If clients have special meeting requests, bi-weekly or more often, coaches can usually be flexible and meet at the clients request. The end of the semester and during finals is a busy time for our coaches, so if parents anticipate their student’s need to schedule more frequent sessions during these times advanced scheduling is required. With written permission from parents, coaches are available to speak with outside professionals or school staff, regarding strategies and academic support.
Coaches provide either in person feedback at the end of each session or written feedback once a month relating to student progress. For certain clients Skype sessions are available with a regular in person meeting once a month or once every 6 weeks.
Coaching Services range in price from $95 to $125 a session, depending on the clients needs. Information regarding fees and payments is included in the contract prior to the first session. A 24 hour notice is required to reschedule an appointment to avoid being charged for the full session.
