Simi Valley Tutoring FAQ
Do you tutor students from Simi Valley Unified schools?
Yes. Share homework, report cards or teacher notes and I’ll build sessions around what’s being taught in your child’s class.
Can we meet at the Simi Valley Library?
Yes. The Simi Valley Public Library is a convenient spot for sessions. I can also come to your home or meet online.
Is online tutoring as effective as in person?
For many students, yes. Online sessions use a shared digital whiteboard, and many families mix in-person and online sessions around busy weeks.
What is Orton-Gillingham?
A structured, multisensory way of teaching reading that explicitly teaches how sounds and letters connect. It was developed for students with dyslexia and helps any child who struggles to read. Learn more about dyslexia tutoring.
How much does tutoring cost?
Rates start at $75/hour and vary depending on whether sessions focus on homework help or skills-based tutoring.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please give at least 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed without notice, are charged in full. If your child is sick, let me know as soon as you can and we’ll find a make-up time.
