What age groups do your services cater to?

Our tutoring services cater to learners of all ages, from early childhood and kindergarten, through primary and secondary school, to college-level and adult education.

How do tutoring membership plans work?

We offer flexible membership-based tutoring plans tailored to the individual needs of each student. Memberships are charged every 4 weeks, commencing from the sign-up date, ensuring continuous and comprehensive support.

Why get tutoring?

Tutoring isn't only for a child who is struggling, it can also advance skills and deepen understanding of course content. Regular, consistent tutoring has been shown to increase confidence and test scores while decreasing anxiety during the school year and around test time.

Process & Policies

How are tutors selected and vetted?

Our tutors are meticulously chosen based on their educational qualifications, teaching experience, and a demonstrable passion for education. Each candidate undergoes a rigorous interview process, including comprehensive reference and background checks, to ensure they meet our high standards.

How are tutoring sessions conducted?

Sessions are led by experienced educators and tailored to each student, whether that's one-on-one private tutoring or a small group focused on a specific class. We meet learners of every age where they are, in a comfortable, distraction-free space.

What is your cancellation policy?

Missed or moved sessions, every plan

  • 48 hours' notice or more: your student joins the Sunday Make-Up Class free.
  • Less than 48 hours' notice, including illness: the session is forfeited. Your student can still join the Sunday Make-Up Class for $50.
  • To move a session to another time instead: Core memberships need 24 hours' notice and a $50 fee. Flex memberships include 1 free reschedule per cycle.
  • If a holiday or office closure falls in your membership window, we offer a Sunday Make-Up Class for that session or move your cycle out a week.
What safety measures are in place at the office?

Every tutor passes a reference check and a background check before working with students. Sessions take place in our two learning centers, in Dripping Springs by the high school and on Hwy 290 near Nutty Brown.

Tutoring Sessions

How long is each tutoring session?

Most tutoring sessions are 60 minutes. SAT and ACT group classes run 90 minutes, and Noble Den homeschool blocks run 2 hours.

What should students bring to their sessions?

While we provide all necessary materials, students are encouraged to bring any relevant coursework, homework, or tests they'd like to review or need assistance with.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payments are processed securely through our booking and billing system. We keep a card on file so memberships bill automatically every 4 weeks.

Do you offer discounts for booking multiple sessions?

Yes, we provide discounted rates for bulk session bookings, making extended tutoring more accessible and affordable. Most families choose a Membership plan for the best value.

Educational Support

Are sessions aligned with school curriculums?

Yes. Our sessions are carefully designed to align with local and national educational curriculums, ensuring our tutoring not only complements but enhances school-based learning.

What if my student doesn't have any homework?

Our tutors are equipped to go beyond homework help. Whether it's advancing to new topics, reinforcing previous lessons, or using our extensive library of worksheets, we're ready to help students excel and stay ahead.

Should my child sign up for group or private tutoring?

Group tutoring is a great choice for just about every student, sessions are affordable and focused on the student's specific class (Algebra, Pre-AP Algebra, Geometry, etc.). Private tutoring is ideal for students who are struggling or behind and need extra help to get back on track, and it's also great for students looking to be challenged beyond the classroom.

Can my child drop in just when they need extra help?

Yes! Students may come to a Drop-In session if there is space available, for an added cost.
