Frequently Asked Questions
Where do tutoring sessions take place? For in-person tutoring, I can meet at your home or at a public space, such as a library or coffee shop. If meeting at home, an adult must be present at home during the tutoring session. There is no additional transportation fee for students within a 45-minute drive. For online tutoring, we will use Skype or your preferred communication platform as a means of communicating via video chat.
What is your availability? Generally I can schedule lessons Mondays - Thursdays between 8:00am and 10:00pm, aside from existing appointments. You can view my exact availability when you reserve an appointment online at www.trevorkafka.com.book.
Almost always, my schedule is much more booked within the immediate two to three weeks, but then opens up much more in subsequent weeks. Reserving dates in advance can be the best way to get your preferred times!
Do you assign homework? It is often useful for me to assign homework between tutoring sessions for students to complete. If students do not have sufficient time to complete homework assignments, it is possible for tutoring sessions to work effectively without them, and I can withhold assigning, but it will help to increase rate of improvement. For regular students, I often set up Google Classroom pages to organize class materials, including notes and homework assignments.
What is your cancellation policy? Please make any cancellations at least 24 hours in advance of the start of the tutoring session by text or email. Full payment will be due for tutoring sessions cancelled less than 24 hours in advance.
