STOP!

Before you make an appointment, please make sure that you need one.

You DO NOT need an appointment if…

You just have some general questions about my services. I can answer non-student-specific questions over a quick phone call. Please give me a call at 408-712-5274.

If you just want to sign up for a course listed on my website. Mail in the registration form with a payment check or email me the registration form and I’ll follow up with payment options.

You DO need an appointment if…

If you plan on pursuing private tutoring with me. My private tutoring is very rigorous and is not appropriate for all students. The consultation will ensure that we (me, the student, the parents) are all on the same page.

If you already had a consultation session and want to schedule a tutoring appointment.

If you need to have me evaluate your child’s academics (including course selection), test prep progress, and extracurricular activities to determine whether they are consistent with student’s college admissions goals and make recommendations as needed.

If you want to discuss my services with respect to your child. Without a consultation, I cannot answer any questions such as “when should my child take this test or that test” since I have probably never met your child and don’t know anything about your child. Whenever we start discussing the specifics, it’s never a 10 minute conversation.

The initial appointment takes 1.5 to 2 hours (depending on the student’s or parent’s knowledge-base) and I charge $350.
