You always know what we’re working on and why.<\/p>\n Sessions are one-on-one \u2014 in person in the Austin area, or live online with a shared whiteboard so your student can show their work in real time.<\/p>\n One rate, no packages you don’t need, no long contract.

After those spots fill, the standard rate is $50\/hr.<\/p>\n Founding students keep the $40\/hr rate for as long as they stay enrolled.<\/strong><\/p>\n Meet first, decide after. We’ll talk goals, look at recent schoolwork if you have it, and map what a first block would look like.<\/p>\n Sessions are booked in 4-week blocks (typically 4\u20138 sessions). Reschedule with 24 hours’ notice at no cost. Invoices are sent by email, and payment is due before the block begins.<\/p>\n I’m Grant, an Austin-based tutor and, by day, a Senior IT Technician who has spent years doing the same thing in a different setting: finding the missing step, explaining it clearly, and helping people get unstuck.<\/p>\n I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Concordia University Texas, and I spend my time outside work tutoring, reading, and exploring Austin with my family.<\/p>\n I believe strongly in giving young people purpose and confidence, not just answers. A student who believes they can figure things out will keep going long after the session ends \u2014 and that’s the real goal.<\/p>\n Honest note:<\/strong> I’m a private tutor, not a certified Texas classroom teacher. If your student needs specialised support \u2014 for example, a diagnosed learning disability or an IEP \u2014 I’m happy to talk honestly about whether I’m the right fit, and to point you toward someone who is.<\/p>\n Students ages 10\u201318 who need help in English or math through Algebra 1 \u2014 catching up, keeping up, or getting ahead. That includes homework support, filling foundation gaps, and STAAR Algebra 1 EOC preparation for Texas students.<\/p>\n A 30-minute conversation (online or in person in Austin) with you and, if you’d like, your student. We talk about school, grades, and goals, look at recent work if you have it, and outline what a first 4-week block would cover. There’s no obligation to continue.<\/p>\n Most students meet once or twice a week for 60 minutes. For ages 10\u201312 we can split into two shorter, higher-energy sessions. The rhythm is set in your written block plan and adjusted as we go.<\/p>\n Yes \u2014 planning follows Texas TEKS for English language arts and mathematics, and Algebra 1 work includes STAAR end-of-course style practice. If your student is outside Texas or on a different curriculum, tell me in the intro and we’ll plan around their actual classwork.<\/p>\n Online sessions are live video with a shared whiteboard. Parents are copied on all scheduling emails and receive an update after every session. For younger students, a parent or guardian should be present or nearby during sessions, and all communication goes through the parent’s email.<\/p>\n Reschedule free with at least 24 hours’ notice. Tutoring runs in 4-week blocks with no long-term contract \u2014 you can pause or stop at the end of any block.<\/p>\n Tell me a little about your student and I’ll reply by email to arrange a time.
