Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
On the first session with a student, we will spend the first 10 minutes to get to know them as an individual, assess their current standing in the course, and design a plan of action to get the student from their current understanding to their desired understanding and beyond. Since each student is starting from a different place and has a completely unique learning style; we will adapt accordingly and customize the teaching process in order to suit those needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of the tutors at Miles Smart Tutoring have been individually assessed and trained to be top level educational professionals. Our tutors range from ex-business executives, to recent college graduates, to certified educational professionals. We pride ourselves in hiring tutors from all walks of life so that we can bring forth our life experiences to further enrich the tutoring sessions.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Our pricing is based off of surveys done in varying locations to pinpoint the average amount spent on tutoring services. We then take this information and place ourselves right in the middle. This allows us to provide elite level tutoring for the price of the average session in any given area. Our prices are dependent on the course material at hand, and are always as competitive as possible, while still being enough to provide our tutors with a comfortable wage.
